Stabilizing the Debate between Population and Enemy-Centric Counterinsurgency Success Demands a Balanced Approach
ISBN: 9781500705565 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This thesis contends the debate on whether to embrace a population-centric or enemy-centric counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan detracts focus from building a balanced approach, customized for the human and political landscape in each area of operation (AO). The debate should be finally resolved since each strategic axis represents a crucial portion of the ideal hybrid approach, which necessarily looks different from one AO to the next. Each extreme, whether focusing all effort on killing and capturing the enemy (enemy-centric) or partnering with and protecting the population from the...

Union Artillery at the Battle of Chickamauga
ISBN: 9781500136840 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the use of artillery by the Union Army of the Cumberland during the Battle of Chickamauga on 19 and 20 September, 1863. The book methodology is an analysis of the terrain, technology, tactics, organization for combat, and leadership during the battle. This book shows that the Union did not employ artillery effectively due to poor organization for combat and failure of leaders to use the weapons systems in accordance with their strengths. The failure to plan for artillery use on 20 September directly led to weakness on the left flank, which the Confederates exploited. The...

ISBN: 9781511557085 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. While Afghan women are difficult for coalition forces to access in their counterinsurgency efforts, they play a central role in their families and are the primary care-givers for, and have significant influence over, their children. U.S. Army counterinsurgency doctrine advises, Win the women, and you own the family unit. Own the family, and you take a big step forward in mobilizing the population. Afghan women are an overlooked potential asset in U.S. counterinsurgency efforts, and their personal security, access to basic services, health, educational, and economic opportunities are...

This History and Effects of the Kosovo Polje Myhrology
ISBN: 9781503100978 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The mythology surrounding the 1389 Battle of Kosovo Polje, in present-day Serbia, is the foundation for the Serbian cultural identity and is a prism through which Serbs view and interpret the past, present, future. The mythology, created out of necessity to cope with Ottoman conquest and the hardships of peasant life, began with early eulogies to the Serbian knights who were defeated on the Kosovo plain. It evolved through oral folklore tradition, epic poetry, and literature while being preserved and cultivated by the Serbian Orthodox Church. Epic themes of Serbian religious sacrifice,...

The Professional Military Ethic
ISBN: 9781500577902 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Understanding the professional military ethic (PME) requires first understanding the conceptual foundations upon which it stands. This foundation includes objective morality, the sociology of professions, professional ethics in general, and the profession of arms. I argue that a genuinely normative professional ethic derives from objective morality through the context of a particular professional role. Any other approach fails to generate genuine normativity. This assertion conflicts with recent accounts of the PME that seek its source in various artifacts of our military culture and society....

ISBN: 9781511615310 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The first official U.S. Army chaplain doctrine appeared in 1926 and contained this guidance: "The duty of the chaplain lies with the men of his command who are on the fighting line." This guidance reflected a principle of proximity-that is, chaplains minister wherever their soldiers are found, up to and including during direct ground combat.

Intelligence Failure in Korea: Major General Charles A. Willoughby's Role in the United Nations Command's Defeat in November, 1950
ISBN: 9781503122970 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In November, 1950, the United States Army suffered one of its most devastating defeats ever, in the frozen mountains of North Korea at the hands of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. This defeat fundamentally changed the nature of the Korean War. It was, however, avoidable. This Chinese victory was partially the result of one of the most glaring failures in U.S. military intelligence history. The officer most responsible for this failure was the Far East Command Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (G2), Major General Charles Andrew Willoughby. His inaccurate intelligence picture...

Field Marshal Slim-Theoretical Thinking and the Impact of Theory on Campaign Planning
ISBN: 9781500912116 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Field Marshall Viscount Slim holds a special place in modern military history. He soundly defeated the Imperial Japanese Army in Burma in 1945, retaking the strategically important Burma Road, and safeguarding the Chinese Theater from sure culmination. By all accounts, Slim is a military genius, having achieved this notable victory even after the Japanese 15th Army pushed Allied troops all the way back to India. The historical records attribute Slim's success to his superior ability to lead soldiers in combat, but they tell only half the story. By tracing Slim's implicit process of...

Technology, Concepts, and Tactics and the Islamic Way of War
ISBN: 9781500588601 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The United States has attempted for several decades to assist in the modernization of armies in the Middle East. These armies are rich in tradition and heritage of medieval and pre-modern Islamic armies. Islamic armies possess an ability to assimilate technology, concepts, and tactics from external sources, but refuse to assimilate the associated culture of that technology. Instead, they choose to use foreign ideas and technology in an Islamic manner. They create massive land armies of untrained soldiers unable to assimilate modern technology, concepts, and tactics. Their inability to develop...

Focused Lens on Unmanned Aerial Systems: An Evaluation of Department of Defense's Unmanned Aerial Vision 2011
ISBN: 9781508844501 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) have become standard in U.S.'s conflicts. However, current UASs are limited by the need for unchallenged airspace or stealth technology, as UASs have almost no defensive capability. Draw-down of the U.S. military after Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is placing considerable emphasis on employing a lighter, leaner, and more lethal military force to meet strategic objectives mandated by politicians. As a result, the DoD, Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap FY2011-2036, identified seven areas the U.S. must focus to...

Beyond the Gap: A Historical Perspective on World War II River Crossings
ISBN: 9781503027947 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Crossing a river against a defending enemy force is a difficult and complex task for any army. History has shown that preparation is necessary to avoid disasters during this type of operation. In 2003, the Third Infantry Division crossed the Euphrates River because it was prepared for this task and possessed the necessary equipment. Since then, no other divisions or corps has executed river crossing operations. While the United States Army focused on counterinsurgency operations during the last twelve years, it underwent significant changes to adapt to meet the adversities on the battlefield....

The Enemy Objectives Unit in World War II: Selecting Targets for Aerial Bombardment that Support the Political Purpose of War
ISBN: 9781500840891 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In June of 1942, Eighth Air Force deployed to Great Britain and began preparation for a bombing campaign. However, during the initial planning efforts it became apparent the staff lacked the expertise needed to analyze and recommend bombing targets. Colonel Richard Hughes, the Chief Planner for American Air Forces in Europe, recognized this deficiency and requested a team to assist with target selection. The Enemy Objectives Unit (EOU), a team of civilian economists, began arriving in London in September 1942 to support the Eighth Air Force. While formally assigned to the United States...

In December 2010, spontaneous protests began in Tunisia following the self-immolation of a Tunisian citizen, who was upset after having his vegetable cart seized by Tunisian police.

Union Logistics in the Vicksburg Campaign
ISBN: 9781497511439 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Historians have examined the tactical aspects of the Vicksburg campaign in great detail. Since hundreds of articles have already been written on the tactical conduct of the campaign, not much new information can be added to the body of knowledge that already exists. What is lacking in the analysis of the Vicksburg campaign is how it was logistically supported. This thesis analyzes how General Ulysses S. Grant supported the Army of the Tennessee during the campaign. This thesis also reviews the supply organization of the North, since it was this structure that kept Grant's army provisioned for...

Containment: Relevant or Relic?
ISBN: 9781502868930 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The United States (U.S.) faces threats from non-states, including terrorist organizations and piracy in the Horn of Africa, all of which are quite different from the super-power threat posed by the Soviet Union during the ColdWar. The U.S. developed and implemented an effective containment strategy against the Kremlin, and this book examined whether containment can still be effective against a modern non-state target. This book divided its examination into three areas: (1) Cold War containment strategy evolution; (2) war and foreign policy theory; and (3) case studies of Somalia in 1993, the...

Following major U.S. conflicts the Army's difficulties with training resources, poor morale, and readiness have been consistent. Additionally, the army leadership's message to Congress has been relatively unchanged throughout each period. The Army's situation was no...

The Confederate King of Battle: A Comparison on the Field Artillery Corps of The Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of Tennessee
ISBN: 9781500381783 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Much has been written about the Confederate armies during the American Civil War. General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia has gotten most of the attention of historians and writers over the years. There are several reasons for this. The Army of Northern Virginia has been identified with the Confederacy's effort for independence. Lee's army was much more successful on the battlefield than any other Confederate force. Its battles were fought near the capitals of both the North and the South, thus getting most of the attention and writing of both sides during the war. Much of the...
