Future American military operations, be they high-intensity combat, peacekeeping, peace enforcement, counter-insurgency, or otherwise, are likely to require multinational contributions. This requirement is due to several possible considerations, to include limited American military resources or the need to demonstrate legitimacy for an operation through international participation. America's first opportunity to lead a coalition as a superpower occurred during the 1950-1953 Korean War. Its coalition faced a war it did not want. Additionally, the coalition included multinational components...

The French-Algerian War and FM 3-24, Counterinsurgency: A Comparison
ISBN: 9781500383039 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many aspects of counterinsurgency (COIN) operations in today's contemporary operating environment suggest historical review of previous COIN experiences can provide critical insight. Such reviews tend to fail to be incorporated into doctrine as time and era change reduced the perceived relevance of previous experiences. Development of COIN doctrine requires a detailed study of available insurgency experiences to enable the U.S. military to apply the crucial principles of COIN to current threat models. An example of an army which struggled to develop COIN doctrine as it combated an insurgency...

ISBN: 9781505408690 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book uses a comparative analysis of the Malayan Emergency, the American experience in Vietnam, and Operation Iraqi Freedom to examine the role and effectiveness of artillery units in complex counterinsurgency environments. Through this analysis, four factors emerge which impact the employment of artillery units: the counterinsurgency effort's requirement for indirect fires, constraints and limitations on indirect fires, the counterinsurgency effort's force organization, and the conversion cost of non-standard roles for artillery units. In conclusion, the book offers five broadly...

Joint operations incorporated numerous battlefield operating systems that the leadership had to integrate and synchronize. At the strategic level, Washington...

Coercion theory centers on an actor's ability to influence the decision making of an opponent. This monograph examines military operations in Libya 2011, Operations Unified Protector and Odyssey Dawn, through the lens of coercion theory.

This monograph purports that even though Operations Odyssey Dawn and Unified Protector succeeded in supporting the removal of...

Beginning of the End: The Leadership of SS Obersturmbannfuhrer Jochen Peiper
ISBN: 9781500162641 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. SS Obersturmbannfuhrer Jochen Peiper was one of Germany's most colorful military leaders of World War II with an audacious reputation. The name Peiper will always be linked to the Malmedy Massacre, the death of Belgian civilians and more than seventy American soldiers, but there is still a myth around Peiper. Why was a twenty-nine year old Waffen-SS officer chosen to lead the German spearhead unit during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944? Peiper was a special leader within the one of the most elite Waffen-SS divisions, the Leibstandarte-SS Adolf Hitler. Peiper was charismatic and...

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 book examines the development of the American Army corps structure during World War I. The corps formation developed in World War I by General John J. Pershing was the culmination of 56 years of lessons learned from the Civil War through the beginning of World War I.

Blasphemy: How the U.S. Government Practiced a type of Operational Art to Defend Latin America during the Cold War
ISBN: 9781500608651 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Two centuries of philosophy and war have informed the latest evolution of the definitions of strategy and operational art defined in the Department of Defense's Joint Publication 1-02. By harmonizing the relationship between strategy and operational art, doctrine logically links the organization and employment of military forces to strategy. However, joint doctrine fails to identify where the instruments of diplomacy, information, and economic power are organized, employed, and integrated through ends, ways, and means to achieve national objectives. By replacing the term "military forces"...

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...

ISBN: 9781503029767 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The 'Pivot to the Pacific' reasserts American power in a critical region, reassures American allies, and maintains the current regional balance of power in the face of rising Chinese might. Military power is essential to the rebalancing effort. Many analysts assert air and sea power will dominate military strategy and operations in the Pacific. The Navy and the Air Force suggest AirSea Battle, emerging Joint Doctrine, as the operational concept the United States should employ. It is intended to counter Chinese efforts to prevent American forces from reaching the western Pacific and limit...

ISBN: 9781500500856 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is the probability for renewed conflict in the Sinai region in light of Egypt's recent revolution? This monograph examines that question by analyzing Nasser's Free Officer revolution of the 1950s that led to 1956 Suez Crisis (Nasser era) and the recent 2011 Egyptian revolution (Muslim Brotherhood era).

The Decisive Role of Operational Time and the Information Environment in the Israel-Hezbollah War of 2006
ISBN: 9781508902751 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why did the Israel-Hezbollah War of 2006 result in strategic failure for Israel? To date, the explanations for Israel's strategic failure have centered on the relatively poor performance of the Israel Defense Force (IDF), specifically as it relates to the employment of Effects Based Operations (EBO) and Systemic Operational Design (SOD) methodologies, an overreliance on air power, and a general lack of readiness for sustained combined arms operations by the ground forces. However, these explanations, while certainly contributing factors and sources of operational friction, do not adequately...
