In a military context - doctrine is an organized set of standards and procedures that allow a large and diverse organization to function cooperatively to achieve a common goal. By using a common doctrine organizations can plan for their part in an operation because they know what to expect for the units they are adjacent to, support or are supported by. For example the '9-line medevac' is a doctrinal method used to request medical evacuation of personnel. Since doctrine requires the hospital, ambulance unit and the unit requesting assistance to process the information in a pre-determined template - there is less of a likelihood of confusion. -- "Saddam was found cowering in his little hole in the ground. Supposedly, his goal was to remain in hiding until all the shooting stopped. Well, hey, it worked for the French." Jay Leno
