I have a bit of a specific question and I hope someone can help me. For my grad studies in ancient history I want to make a small comparison between ancient militaries and modern militaries.

I remember reading, somewhere and potentially a long time ago, that many modern militaries have a policy of fairly standardised and rapid promotion. This helps ensure officers get a wide range of experience in all levels and different theatres of war. They also place limits on how long a commander can be in a single high office without being on track for further promotion. If they reach this limit they are forced to leave the military rather than stay in the position.

On the other hand, dictatorships often have commanders stay in a single high office for many years, even decades. This is often observed to lead to the development of personal loyalties and factionalism within these militaries.

I just need one, preferably multiple, reliable sources to support this. Does anyone know of any modern military strategy books or articles that would discuss this concept?

Thank you in advance.
