I will concentrate on the special forces, but the claims and reasoning presented in this essay are applicable to any military organization. This essay will look at the building blocks of natural selection as a framework for thinking about organizations. Organizations must adapt rapidly, especially organizations that exist to protect their people and government. They both compete and exist within dynamic and fluctuating ecosystems. Organisms and organizations are not so different. Essentially being less prone to developing dangers and more efficient with energy. The “fittest” species is the one best able to adapt to its constantly shifting environment. It was commonly thought that survivability was a matter of strength and/or fitness, but these (brute) notions less accurately describe what is in fact the mechanism of adaptability. What can military organizations learn from one of the oldest natural mechanisms of survivability? Natural selection has for millions of years determined the species that get to live on.
