To help answer this question this book will review the current coalition, joint and inter-agency...

ISBN: 9781501044687 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book proposes that the United States Armed Forces consistently followed a strategy of attrition from the introduction of battalion sized combat troops in 1965, through the Westmoreland-Abrams transition, and ultimately encouraged the South Vietnamese to follow this strategy during the period of Vietnamization. General Abrams promoted a "one-war" strategy which had the desired end state of population security for the people of South Vietnam. In reality the "one-war" was a multi-tiered strategy of attrition. The training of South Vietnamese forces was predicated on their capability to...

ISBN: 9781500731298 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this work is to determine what factors led to the operational failure and destruction of the 1st and 3rd Ranger Battalions during the battle of Cisterna on 30 January 1944.

Did the training level of the new ranger replacements compromise the infiltration and affect the outcome? Did the Germans detect the infiltration and emplace an ambush for the unsuspecting Ranger Force? What was the intelligence...

Sustaining Unconventional Warfare
ISBN: 9781511615358 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. U.S. Special Operations Command has publicly acknowledged that special operations forces (SOF) require conventional force support. Review of the 2009 force design update for the Band V Special Forces Group shows that Special Forces (SF) operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the structure of the modular Brigade Combat Team influenced the development of the SF Group Support Battalion (GSB) and the SF forward support companies (FSCs). As SF's primary mission, unconventional warfare should provide a central, unique, and specific influence in both organizational designs for all units...

The Kopassus (Indonesian Army Special Forces) populate the highest ranks of the Indonesian military and political leadership. The unit and its leadership committed human rights violations and finally in the late 1990s their actions incited a global condemnation of Indonesia during East Timor's fight for independence. The U.S. subsequently ceased military engagement with the Indonesian military and specifically focused on the Kopassus. The Kopassus, however, are more than just a special operations element within the Indonesian military. Many former and present Indonesian military general...

The insights provided by contemporary operational art and design were used to reinterpret the campaign.

Inevitable Evolutions: Punctuated Equilibrium and the Revolution in Military Affairs
ISBN: 9781500609719 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) remains one of the most publicized, yet least understood, concepts among contemporary defense analysts. Too often, professional academic evaluation of military revolution is force-centric, neglecting the inherent association with the social, political, and economic dimensions within which all warfare is conducted. Historian Michael Roberts, who first postulated the presence of a revolution in military affairs in early modern Europe, envisioned a broad theoretical construct that encompassed these dimensions within a framework remarkably similar to Carl...

Task Force Smith and the 24th Infantry Division in Korea, July 1950
ISBN: 9781508902768 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When the 24th Infantry Division deployed to Korea in July 1950 it experienced a series of defeats from 5-20 July in an attempt to delay the invading North Korean People's Army (NKPA). The division suffered devastating losses of men and equipment and was withdrawn from combat because it was no longer capable of effective combat operations. Historians blamed the appalling losses and demoralizing defeats of 5-20 July on poor training, poor equipment, and lazy, ill-disciplined soldiers of an occupation army. The operational approach and the operational art of the commanders and staffs of the...

Alliances and Legitimacy: Walking the Operational Tightrope
ISBN: 9781500877729 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Alliances and legitimacy represent essential ingredients in the United States' amalgamation of national power. For the U.S. military specifically, they are force enablers and force multipliers. Alliances serve to augment U.S. combat power, enable access into impermissible regions, and ultimately provide additional means to achieve operational objectives that, in turn, support strategic interests. Legitimacy provides the credible backdrop to justify U.S. military actions abroad. This alone may conserve combat power for more essential tasks by securing early and lasting compliance in the...

ISBN: 9781500522971 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The People's Democratic Republic of Korea is showing signs that the regime's control of information and its people are weakening. Increasing defections, more public officials taking bribes and a public demonstration against the regime in 2006 demonstrate the slipping state controls. The possibility that the North Korean regime will collapse has never been greater under its new leader, Kim Jong Un. The humanitarian problems, shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, will only become worse following a collapse of the North Korean regime. This study explores the niche role United States...

Proven in War: The American Expeditionary Force and the Effort to Establish a Permanent Military Police Corps
ISBN: 9781507579268 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study investigates the use of military police from the American Revolution to the interwar period following World War I. Specifically discussed is the use and development of military police capabilities during the American Revolution, Civil War, and World War I. The use of military police during these wars establishes a cycle of entering into conflicts without military police resulting in the use of an ill prepared ad hoc force that ultimately creates a need to develop a dedicated military police element. This study examines why a permanent military police corps was not established...

This book is a detailed historical study of the Second World War's little known Aleutian Campaign in the North Pacific, commonly referred to as the "Forgotten War." After describing the events that transpired in the North Pacific throughout the war, this work focuses on the strategic reasons why the United States and Japan decided to dedicate critical and limited resources to a secondary effort in the North Pacific.

Analysis of the Sources of Islamic Extremism
ISBN: 9781500822620 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The United States is a nation at war. It will be a long war. The terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001 were the catalyst that brought the US to this war: the Global War on Terrorism. However, US and coalition responses to Islamic extremism since 11 September 2001 have not prevailed and in some cases have exacerbated the problem of Islamic radicalization even further. It is increasingly clear that understanding the root causes or sources of Islamic extremism is critically important to designing a viable long-term strategy to counter or eliminate them. In general terms, this thesis seeks to...
