Missed Opportunity? Was Iran's Green Movement an Unconventional Warfare Option?
ISBN: 9781511537155 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Following the disputed 2009 Iranian Presidential elections, the Green Movement demonstrated reformist insurgency potential. Capable movement leadership mobilized resistance groups, tempered participant violence, and espoused objectives compatible with strategic US interests. Despite undisputed constitutional authority, Supreme Leader Khamenei and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' vicious response to protests highlighted systemic weaknesses vulnerable to non-violent political struggle. Could the United States have capitalized on the Green Movement's activities after the 2009 presidential...

The Pendulums of War and Politics
ISBN: 9781503099364 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since even before the U.S. Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the creation of the Continental Army in 1775, a cognitive tension has always existed between civil authority and military planners. This tension creates gaps between the political strategy and military tactics. The clock metaphor will show that three critical components of war affect how the military planner practices operational art. These components-the value of the political object being sought, the duration, and the magnitude of effort-establish casual relationships that shape the conduct of war. To illustrate this...

The Dragon's Intentions: How China's Past Is a Prologue for the Future
ISBN: 9781500892043 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to understand how China's culture affects the way it behaves internationally. By reviewing lessons from recent Chinese history and prevailing philosophies, we can see that China has succeeded in their goal of achieving international recognition, both militarily and economically. However, the legacy of the 'Century of Humiliation' runs deep and will affect their future endeavors. The United States must acknowledge that the conditions on the international stage are changing very rapidly and should refrain from trying to apply an outdated or cookie-cutter approach...

ISBN: 9781500577698 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this study was to examine technological strategic resource dependence, its potential for conflict in the twenty-first century, and subsequent influences on United States (U.S.) national security policy. In particular, the study explored whether or not the notion that nations were in a constant state of, or preparing for, armed conflict over strategic resources-specifically those linked to critical technologies that sustained economic prosperity and national security-is substantiated. To gain insight, the study explored five interrelated concepts within the context of three...

Saint Patrick's Day Celebration on Powder River: Battle of Powder River
ISBN: 9781499193442 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Battle of Powder River occurred on 17 March 1876 in southeastern Montana. Historians and researchers have consistently overlooked the importance of this battle on the outcome of the Great Sioux War of 1876. Colonel Joseph J. Reynolds set out to destroy the Indian camp established by the combined Cheyenne and Oglala Sioux in order to push the Indians back to the reservations and allow miners to enter the Black Hills to mine gold. Reynolds failed to accomplish this mission. The intelligence from his Indian scouts was flawed. Logistically, the soldiers were not fed, clothed, armed, or...

ISBN: 9781502926135 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The United States military rarely conducts unilateral actions. Normally, it operates with coalition partners. This has been true for over a century and there is little indication that it will change in the future. This monograph examines the relationship between the U.S. Sixth Army Group and its subordinate French First Army during World War II to draw out operational lessons learned in coalition warfare. The Sixth Army Group was responsible for the invasion of southern France in August of 1944, was the first Allied unit to reach the Rhine River, held the line in the face of the German winter...

The Integration of Information Operations into Army Operations During Periods of Unstable Peace and Insurgency
ISBN: 9781508713890 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The classical military theorists and US Army doctrine emphasize the role of information within a conflict. The US Army's primary means for controlling and manipulating information is the doctrinal concept of information operations. However, there remains debate as to what IO is and how it is to be integrated into US Army operations. Case studies indicate that IO is more than media relations or psychological operations, and that information is an integral element of the convergent nature of conflict. Understanding the physical, informational, and cognitive domains of conflict and the IO...

The Unintended Consequences of Killing Civilians
ISBN: 9781502926180 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mistreatment of civilians not party to a large-scale, violent conflict is not new. The perceived lack of empathy for civilians (historically and presently) points to ambiguities about who the enemy is, rules of engagement, as well as the ongoing debate about the nature of military intervention in internal conflicts. In addition, examples of violence against civilians during the current war in the Middle East emphasize changes that have occurred within the media, politics, and military operations since World War II. This comparison is useful because it provides for reflection on the...

Schweinfurt Raids and the Pause in Daylight Strategic Bombing
ISBN: 9781500834449 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Avid readers of WWII air combat will find the Eighth AAF's strategic bombing mission #84 (the Schweinfurt-Regensburg raid on August 17th, 1943) and mission #115 (the Schweinfurt raid on October 14th, 1943) to be tremendous setbacks to the daylight strategic bombing campaign of Germany. As a result of the heavy losses the Luftwaffe inflicted upon Eighth Bomber Command's heavy bombers, the daylight strategic bombing campaign was halted for over four months. The Eighth AAF could not sustain such heavy losses, in both aircraft and aircrew, and remain an effective force. During the halt in the...

Understanding the Limiting Factors of Washington's Strategy
ISBN: 9781500488567 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. During the American Revolution, as the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, George Washington was responsible for determining the military strategy of the rebellious colonies. Throughout the war, diplomatic, social, and economic factors prevented Washington and his subordinate commanders from developing a strategy that allowed militia soldiers to fight in the same formations as soldiers of the Continental Army. During the conflict, the Continental Congress took measures to maintain control of the Continental Army, which hampered Washington's ability to plan and execute military...

Female Engagement Teams: Making the Case for Institutionalization Based on U.S. Security Objectives in Africa
ISBN: 9781502809995 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The U.S. military first began using Female Engagement Teams (FET) in Iraq in 2009 as a means to balance security concerns with cultural sensitivities; form rightly followed function. Eventually it was recognized FETs could be employed beyond conducting searches on the local female population, and their responsibilities grew to include activities such as community relationship building and connecting Afghan families to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. While it is clear FETs can uniquely support a myriad of security objectives, the efficacy and effectiveness of their...

ISBN: 9781502463050 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book looks at the interventions of US forces in the Caribbean nations of Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti and Grenada between 1898 and 1998. It considers these interventions against the background of the relationships that Caribbean nations have historically shared with imperialist powers, looking specifically at US foreign policy towards the region for the period of the study. For each intervention, the causes, conduct and long term consequences are examined. The main question to be answered by the research is how Caribbean nations should now organize themselves to provide the response...

Integrating Joint Intratheater Airlift Command and Control with the Needs of the Modular Army: A Perspective of Current and Past Nonlinear Operation
ISBN: 9781505378153 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The command and control of today's intratheater airlift system, as seen in doctrine and in application, is complicated and conflicted. As the Army continues its transformation to the modular force, requirements for responsive and flexible intratheater airlift have grown. In contrast, existing Joint and Air Force intratheater airlift doctrine does not address these needs, as seen in recent operations during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Presented in this book are two historical case studies of past intratheater airlift efforts: Burma during World War II and the tactical airlift system of Vietnam....

The Sunni Spring: Counter-Attack in the War for Islamic Civilization
ISBN: 9781500750961 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the Arab Spring in light of the past half century of efforts in transnational Arab identity formation and thus considers its links to Arab Nationalism and Pan-Islamism. Then, with a focus on Syria and the sectarian nature of that conflict, it considers the Arab Spring in juxtaposition to the widely-held notions of Shia revival and Shia Crescent. It then speculates on what may be happening at the transnational identity or civilizational level in the Middle East and considers three possible long-term outcomes.

Identity Conflicts: A Doctrinal Change Needed?
ISBN: 9781511696036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From recent operational experiences in Bosnia and Iraq, the U.S. Army has learned many important and hard-earned lessons. By incorporating some of these lessons learned into its capstone doctrine, FM 3-0, the Army has captured some key points and revamped its approach in conducting military operations in a complex environment. Meanwhile, a new thinking has emerged at the end of Cold War that focuses on the non-traditional way of examining warfare and armed conflict. Scholars such as Mary Kaldor, Herfried Munkler, and Rupert Smith have constructed an alternative approach concentrating on...

Dempsey informed Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta of his intent to rescind the military's gendered combat exclusion policy and fully integrate all military occupational specialties. The following study assesses the operational risk associated with this decision by comparing the assumptions made by the 1992 Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces regarding the conditions and requirements of combat to the realities of war as experienced and reported by soldiers over the last three decades....
