WASHINGTON — American troops are famous for initiative, ingenuity, and improvisation; less so for following protocol. An old joke, usually ascribed to the Soviets, is that Americans are hard to fight because they don't read their own field manuals or follow their own doctrine. That kind of culture adapts quickly in a crisis, but, over time, it makes for a messy accumulation of ad hoc fixes that don't necessarily work well with each other — or, sometimes, don't work at all once a lone-wolf innovator has moved on.
