Summary/Abstract: Nowadays we witness radical changes in both the conduct of operations and the educational and decisional systems. On one hand, there is an attempt to assist the decision making process with different instruments, including the computerized ones, in order to reduce the likelihood of committing errors and the time necessary for decision-making. On the other hand, it is exactly the fact that these instruments have been so much publicized that creates another type of asymmetry, the enemy having detailed knowledge about them and being able to use them for their own purposes. The article presents the main aspects of military decision-making and the influences that the commanders’ education and experience may have in limiting or, on the contrary, raising the asymmetry of conflicts.
