- Described by Barry Posen as "a critical discussion of the possible tactical implications of the military reformers' prescriptions for ground warfare"[7] and regarded as important though not convincing by David P. Calleo,[8] it was referenced in the first years after its publication,[9] but its first detailed critique came from Joshua M. Epstein[10] and several others in the context of the replacement of combined arms with maneuver doctrine in the United States Armed Forces around 1989[11] and in the context of NATO's tactical future after the First Cold War.[12] It has seen occasional treatments in retrospective literature since that time.

- Also published as a chapter of Conventional Deterrence in 1983. The context of the article was described in Matthews 1996,[13] as standing in opposition US president Ronald Reagan's strengthening of NATO forces in Europe, supported by Samuel P. Huntington[14] (who had initially reviewed Mearsheimer's article favourably)[15] and others. Also relevant was the debate over whether or not the US nuclear weapons in West Germany were necessary. Positively received by Posen and Evera 1983,[16] Brauch and Unterseher 1984,[17] Lübkemeier 1985,[18] Dean 1986[19] and to some extent Weinstein 1983,[20] and Strachan 1985[21] and Simpson 1985.[22] Its conclusions were opposed on methodological grounds by Jack Snyder[23] and with alternative models by William Kaufmann,[24] William Mako[25] and Andrew Hamilton.[26] With the exception of Corcoran 1983,[27] most concrete opposition did not come until three separate articles published in 1988 by Snyder,[28] by Joshua Epstein and by Eliot A. Cohen,[29] building on an earlier review by Aaron Friedberg.[30] Although the reception that year was not entirely negative,[31] [32] [33] most papers published in the immediate aftermath of these were critical.[34] [35] Employed favourably in some retrospective analyses.[36] [37] That by Barry D. Watts, then director of the Northrop Grumman Analysis Center, relayed Cohen's criticisms.[38] The 2016 review by military Kenton White criticised it for not taking USSR and general WTO airborne capabilities or their OMG concept, while following Cohen in arguing for an alternative view that the WTO might have been able to prepare a "standing start" attack undetected enough for the resulting delay to allow for the WTO to potentially collapse part of the NATO front, which Mearsheimer had argued was not a danger.[39] White followed this up in more detail in 2017.[40] A less detailed critique was published by international relations professor Arash Heydarian Pashakhanlou.[41] The approach of Cohen and Kenton was in turn criticised in the overview of Tecott and Halterman, which defended Mearsheimer while warning about his "over-extrapolation" on the basis of a single scenario,[42] echoing Richard Stoll's 1990 defense of Mearsheimer's article to justify further model-based approaches.[43] But outside the context of the debate[44] and with the passage of time, the article began to see uncritical use,[45] [46] especially with the successful urban defences of the Russo-Ukrainian War.[47] [48] More widely read than his previous studies, it is this study along with his 1983 book that propelled him onto the academic scene as an "Optimist" in their debate with the "Pessimists", which has been termed the "Great Debate" in security circles,[49] in which moderate Pessimists held a majority.[50]

- This article was published in response to criticisms of Mearsheimer's application of the 3:1 rule as expressed and used in Why the Soviets Can't Win Quickly in Central Europe. One of its chief critics, Jeffrey Epstein, published a rebuttal that year.[51] A detailed mathematical evaluation of the 3:1 rule, which Mearsheimer first examined in 1982, would not come until Kress and Talmor 1999.[52]

- Also delivered in lecture form at The Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, sometimes cited instead on account of its over 4 million views.[58] To that lecture, the director of the EUI, political scientist Alexander Stubb who was also the president of Finland at the time, published a critical response.[59] Two political scientists from the same institute had already published a brief critique, mainly of his theories on the role of NATO.[60] Another EUI political scientist followed up Stubb's video with his own critique.[61]
