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...

ISBN: 9781500393120 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. During the Civil War, the Confederate government passed legislation creating a national military academy and establishing the rank of Cadet. The national military college was unnecessary because the Confederacy already possessed numerous state military colleges. However, the Confederate government failed to properly engage these individual state schools by providing curriculum recommendations or commissioning their graduates. This shortsighted and domineering attitude by the Confederate government ensured that the military colleges failed in their mission to produce a large number of officers...

ISBN: 9781502763013 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Up until the 1960s the grip and influence of colonial Europe all but covered the continent of Africa. This book addresses reasons why civil wars in Africa, particularly West Africa, seem to occur over and over. Using a model developed for the World Bank by Paul Collier and Anke Hoeffler, incidences of civil war can be predicted. This book uses this model to focus-in on three countries in West Africa-Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) and Sierra Leone-to determine why civil war has occurred and the likelihood that civil war will occur in the future, or not. Why does African armed struggle...

This book analyzes the Chinese Red Army from 1927 to 1936 to determine how the Red Army survived attacks from external military forces and also successfully overcame the threats to its existence posed by changing Chinese Communist Party (CCP) policies. During this period, the CCP attempted to develop, expand, and professionalize the Chinese Red Army as a way to defend Communist base areas from a series of Kuomingtang (KMT) Extermination Campaigns. Also during these years, changes in the CCP leadership often placed the Red Army in dangerous situations by underestimating the KMT military threat...

ISBN: 9781503300231 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Cultural awareness is a critical shortfall identified by senior Army leaders. The current training of cultural awareness at the tactical level is limited and geared toward data collection and not application. In order to be an enhancement to mission success, cultural competence needs to be developed through a cultural training model and in line with our current doctrine. A unit must train collectively in a physically and culturally simulated environment in order to apply cultural skills as a base foundation for cultural competence.

Considerations for the Maneuver Commander: Could the Emergence of UAV's Spell the Demise of the Army's RAH-66 Comanche in the Armed Reconnaissance Rol
ISBN: 9781500731823 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The U.S. Army finds itself at a crossroad in the development and fielding of both unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the RAH-66 Comanche helicopter to fulfill the armed reconnaissance role for its future Objective Force (OF). Ever-increasing UAV capabilities, especially the ability to arm these platforms with Hellfire missiles, is forcing a blending of roles that were once solely the domain of manned platforms. This work attempts to answer the question posed above by using the OF characteristics of survivability, lethality, and responsiveness and comparing the effectiveness and efficiency of...

Combating Terrorism: A Conceptual Framework for Targeting at the Operational Level
ISBN: 9781500197469 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The events of 11 September 2001 have thrust the United States to the forefront of the international struggle against terrorism. Terror is no longer a retail business; al-Qaeda has taken it to the wholesale level. In the past, as in the earlier history of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the purpose of terrorists was indeed to create fear, but also to achieve political aims of a limited nature. Even when they were at their most murderous, the IRA remained politicians, albeit criminal ones. They had their political objective, a united Ireland, and they had political constituencies to maintain,...

Key Considerations for Irregular Security Forces in Counterinsurgency
ISBN: 9781511615396 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Counterinsurgents have raised and employed irregular security forces in many campaigns over the last century. Irregular security forces are indigenous forces, not part of the regular police or military organizations of the host nation, that are recruited locally to provide a basic level of security in a given area. Irregular security forces, when used in conjunction with all other available capabilities, contribute to, but do not in and of themselves ensure success. While irregular security forces can be effective in conducting local security, intelligence gathering, surveillance and other...

Convoy Security Shortfalls
ISBN: 9781500973964 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In October 1993, the Quick Reaction Force Headquarters in Mogadishu, Somalia observed, "convoys are more vulnerable to attack than ground maneuver forces and should be planned and executed as a combat operation." During the period from 1993 to 2012, every major United States Army operation confirmed this reality. Logistics forces conducting ground convoys suffered 17 percent, or 167 soldiers, of all Army personnel killed in action during both Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom between November 2001 and September 2010. Whether high intensity as experienced during the March 2003 Iraq...

Unconventional Warfare

Considering the history of unconventional warfare in the United States, and specifically, during the Civil War, it begs the question: Did the Confederacy's strategy to engage in unconventional warfare significantly contribute to its conventional strategy? Two assertions remain most accepted by historians and military personnel. The first prevailing opinion is that the Confederacy's use of unconventional warfare was ineffective and negatively affected the overall campaign. The second opinion is that the South's unconventional efforts yielded unparalleled success and prolonged the war. To...
