Is there some kind of classic of military literature that introduces the basics of military affairs and is recommended for a military specialist of any profile as elementary knowledge of military affairs?

kill thy enemy.

doesnt get more basic than that,,
I have read some of the descriptions and quotes in this book. I do not like this. There is little concret methods and a lot of reasoning that supposedly cunning should be superior to direct collisions and softness wins hardness. This is roughly what has been taught in martial arts since the 60s. But all these disciplines are just show, and all these cunning and "strategists" avoid fighting with Muaythai fighters who can simply break skulls without any cunning.

All of this looks like a profanity, and it can be seen even in the way the Chinese transform traditional martial arts such as qigong.

no good [plan survives first contact,,
 
you asked for basics,,
It seems to me that this is not a real military treatise, but just a certain general philosophy, praising the soft style.

For example, there is a strategy of breaking through the enemy's formation in the most vulnerable places with deep penetration, with the aim of breaking of order and destroying a disorganized enemy. This does not fit into his soft philosophy.
 
you asked for basics,,
Or, for example, he repeats: if you know the enemy, then you will get victory. It's a lie. Even if the ant knows the elephant, he will not defeat him. Knowing the enemy is better than not knowing, but you do not always have time to study him, and this time is always limited and you still will not be able to accurately predict his behavior and catch him on it. Therefore, these are just empty general words. Any fool already knows that it is better to know the enemy than not to know.

What would be a good organization for local militia in being liable to provide service for the security needs of our State (or republic)?

I believe that the American police are well trained, they are the best police in the world. I believe that it is always better for the republic to have well-trained local units of small response teams that have a lot of initiative and freedom of action.
 
I agree to disagree, our Second Amendment is quite unambiguous and very clear as to what is Necessary to the security of a free State
There is no contradiction here. The father of the family has weapons, the tribe has the leader and army, the union of the tribes has a united army. The father of the family has power in the family, the leader has power in the tribe, and so on. This is the traditional way of life, which is the basis of the republic. The army can perform police functions. There is no need for a separate police force.
 
semantically, the police are the occupying troops of the empire, in the historical sense
 
Apparently this word "police" arose during the period of the policies of Greece, which was essentially the decline of Aryan culture, apparently the commercial civilization began to entangle the Greek lands, they founded cities that were the centers of the policies, and their troops were called the police to contain the local population.
