The author
Shaposhnikov also presented mobilization as being a dangerous yet essential measure. On the one hand, he afrmed that governments had to be mindful of the fact that
to mobilize was in itself a step towards a full-blown conict: he underlined the fact that, just before World War
I began, mobilization by a country had been tantamount
to a declaration of war, as neighbouring countries reacted
to such a threat with mobilizations of their own. On the
other hand, an early mobilization allowed for reinforcing the lines of defense, whereas delays in mobilization
heightened the risk of having to face a fully mobilized ected any kind of reality. For Svechin, the conduct of
enemy army with understrength forces.[1]
a war had to be assumed by the entire state.[1]
In Shaposhnikovs eyes, this and the eort required to
sustain a total war, as demonstrated during World War
I, pointed to the importance of pre-mobilization measures. The drafting of millions of servicemen, and especially, according to Shaposhnikov, the conversion of
a countrys economy to a war economy, took time and
should not be improvised on the go. But, so as not to raise
the alarm in neighbouring countries, pre-mobilization
should, according to Shaposhnikov, consist of as much
measures as could be taken to prepare for the actual mobilization, but all the while keeping them secret.[1]

In contrast with Alexander Andreyevich Svechin's Strategy, one of Shaposhnikovs inspirations and references
(see above), Mozg Armii was very well received and had
a lasting inuence. Mozg Armii was quoted as an important text by nearly all Soviet military theorists and military
historians; as late as the 1990s, it was still included as a
textbook in the curriculum of the General Sta Academy.
Thus, Mozg Armii can be seen as a landmark in Soviet
military theory and doctrine on the organization of the
Red Army's General Sta.[1]
