Catastrophic Health Insurance for Planet Earth
ISBN: 9781499786996 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Concern exists among an increasing number of scientists throughout the world regarding the possibility of a catastrophic event caused by an impact of a large earth-crossing object (ECO) on the Earth-Moon System (EMS), be it an asteroid or comet. Such events, although rare for large objects (greater than 1 kilometer diameter), are not unprecedented. Indeed, the great upheaval and resulting ice age that marked the extinction of the dinosaurs is thought to have been caused by the impact of a 10 km diameter asteroid. In 1908 a stony asteroid of approximately 50 meters diameter exploded in the air...

Defending the Human Weapons System Using Operational Risk Management (ORM) and Bioenvironmental Engineer Capabilities
ISBN: 9781500120573 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Historically, for every one soldier who was a battle casualty 10 other soldiers were unable to fight due to the indirect attacks. These indirect attacks came from biological, chemical, and physical/thermal fronts. Using the Gulf War as a case study, this paper investigates indirect attacks on the Air Force's most valuable resource, people, also known as the Human Weapons System (HWS). This system is defined as the combined physiological make up of individual airmen. Threats to the HWS are identified and the author contends that the HWS like any other system in the Air Force must be defended...

Physiological Problems of Bomber Crews in the Eighth Air Force During WWII
ISBN: 9781500374051 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Aviation physiology is a highly relevant field to flyers of unpressurized aircraft that flew at altitudes in excess of 25,000 feet. Crew members had to contend with severe environmental factors while flying long bombing missions during WWII. The limits of human physiology must be the main concern of any battle plan involving flyers and fatality/mortality rates should be the primary focus in evaluating the success or failure of such a plan. The purpose of this research project is to determine if human factors were overlooked intentionally or by accident. If they were overlooked...

Air Power and Its Role in the Battles of Khe Sanh and Dien Bien Phu
ISBN: 9781502835482 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The battles of Dienbienphu and Khe Sanh have many similarities. Both were fought in Vietnam on similar terrain. Both were at the end of long supply lines in isolated jungle areas. Both involved a protracted siege of the defending forces whose success or failure was dependent on their ability to resupply by air and provide close air support against the attacking enemy formations. Yet one force, the French were defeated by a seemingly lightly armed guerrilla force, while the American Marines, opposed by the regular army forces of the North Vietnamese Army, were successful. Furthermore, the...

The Battle of the Coral Sea, the first Naval engagement fought exclusively between Naval Air forces, was a pivotal battle of the war in the Pacific. Although considered a Japanese tactical victory, it was the beginning of the end of Japan's war effort. This analysis examines this decisive battle from the Japanese perspective. The critical analysis will include a summary of the reasons why the battle unfolded as it did, and will draw conclusions as to how the Japanese may have been more successful both strategically and tactically in this key battle of World War II.

The Collapse of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea: A Multilateral Approach to Northeast Asia
ISBN: 9781500491352 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Since the early 1990s the DPRK has faced a prolonged period of adversity resulting from a combination of natural catastrophes and failed state policies. The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the death of Kim-Il Sung in 1994, provoked many acrimonious debates among experts over when North Korea (NK) will cease to exist. The famine in 1997, claiming millions of lives, as well as devastating floods in 2007, have perpetuated these discussions, making the prospect for a collapse perhaps greater now than in any time in its history. Based on the German reunification model in the early 1990s, many...

Airpower Employment of the Fifth Air Force in the World War II Southwest Pacific
ISBN: 9781500373382 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This research project studies the employment of airpower by the Fifth Air Force, under Gen George C. Kenney, in the Southwest Pacific Theater during World War II. The research began with two basic assumptions. First, it assumed that the strategic bombardment theory developed by the Air Corps Tactical School in the 1930s was the definitive doctrine of the Air Corps upon entry into World War II. Second, it assumed that General Kenney and his staff were required to develop a new doctrine for airpower employment since the situation in the Southwest Pacific did not lend itself to strategic...

Holy Jerusalem: The Key to Lasting Peace in the Middle East

This book explores the Middle East Peace Process in terms of the historical and cultural attachment the three monolithic religions have toward the city of Jerusalem. Although conventional wisdom ascribes to four majors issues preventing a comprehensive settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians: namely borders, security, right of return and Jerusalem, it is actually only Jerusalem that is paramount. If the issue of Jerusalems sovereignty can be solved a compromise solution for the other three will be found. Unfortunately, the common ground required for a negotiated settlement in...

This work analyzes the Second Punic War using the Contextual and Operational Elements found in the Campaign Planning Model to determine how Rome and Carthage conducted the war, and whether they maintained congruency as each respective country pursued their national objective. It examines how they selected their grand strategy, and how that strategy was interpreted and executed at the operational and tactical levels. The model highlights flaws in Carthages formulation and application of its grand strategy which, combined with the lack of strategic insight at the operational level, kept them...
