Each episode looks at particular military strategy – or "battleplan" – through two well-known historical examples, gauging them against the ideal requirements necessary to successfully conduct that strategy. All the episodes use examples from modern warfare, dating from the First World War up to the recent Iraq War. Lloyd Clark and Bruce Gudmundsson analyze the information and talk about it on the show.
