Which one of the following is not recognized as a Principle of War ?

  • A.Economy of Force
  • B.Industrial Power
  • C.Surprise
  • D.Selection and maintenance of the aim

Answer: B

The answer is Industrial Power.

The principles of war followed by the Indian and British armies are: selection and maintenance of the aim, maintenance of morale, offensive action, surprise, concentration of force, economy of effort (economy of force), security, flexibility, cooperation and administration. The list goes back to J.F.C. Fuller's work after the First World War.

Economy of force, surprise and selection and maintenance of the aim all appear on it. Industrial power is an element of national power and of a country's war potential, but it is not a principle for conducting war, so it is the odd one out.
