How does military terminology explain the difference between a surprise attack and a calculated risk?
ChuckSiata
In military operations, a surprise attack by an enemy is not synonymous with a "calculated risk".In fact they are total opposites. A calculated risk is when a commander is unable to effectively meet the enemy's offensive capabilities. Surprise attacks are thus avoided and all means are taken in defense and delay to slow down an enemy's advance. In such a situation the commander on defensive takes a calculated risk by defending as he retreats.
