The American Civil War: Role of Southern Baptist Chaplains and Missionaries
ISBN: 9781499799958 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Organized religion has played a significant role in warfare throughout history. From the time Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt into the new Promised Land until 2001 and the undertaking of the Global War on Terrorism, religion in one form or fashion has impacted the individual soldier. The United States' Civil War from 1861 to 1865 was no different. The purpose of this thesis is to look at the events leading up to the Civil War and the conflict itself from the viewpoint of the Southern Baptist denomination. Specifically, the thesis focuses on the reasons for the creation of the Southern...

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 The division suffered devastating losses of men and equipment and was withdrawn from combat because it was no longer capable of effective combat operations.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...

Keeping Score Without the Body Count: Measuring Counterinsurgent Effectiveness According to Insurgent Tangible Resources
ISBN: 9781500878290 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 2001 and in 2003 the United States Army, along with coalition forces demonstrated their conventional superiority by routing the forces of the Taliban and the Iraqi Army. Since those conventional victories, determining success has not been so clear. How does a COIN commander know he is winning? US military doctrine addresses the need to construct measures of effectiveness, but does not offer any universal metrics applicable to COIN. To determine if there are any reasonable, universal metrics, this monograph looks to COIN theorists, COIN doctrine and COIN researchers. The proposed metrics...

Social Media and the Arab Spring: How Facebook, Twitter, and Camera Phones Changed the Egyptian Army's Response to Revolution
ISBN: 9781500535179 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How should militaries think about social media as a factor in military operations? In this study I examine recent Arab Spring scholarship, with a particular focus on the significant impact of social media on events in Egypt in early 2011. Existing literature in this area centers on the ability of various social media platforms to unite and inspire population masses, yet does not address the important effect of social media on military forces responding to the revolution. This gap is exemplified by the general reluctance of military practitioners to engage scholars with actual evidence from...

The American Civil War: Wilder's Brigade in the Tullahoma and Chattanooga Campalgns
ISBN: 9781497541184 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 1863 was the third year of the American Civil War. When the year began, the war was still largely unsettled. This was the case in the western theater, where the Union Army of the Cumberland faced the Confederate Army of Tennessee, vying for control of Tennessee and its valuable resources and strategic rail interchanges. In the early months of 1863 the Army of the Cumberland was resting and reorganizing. General William S. Rosecrans, commander of the Army of the Cumberland, resisted pressure from Washington to commence his spring offensive against General Braxton Bragg, commander of the Army...

French Ground Force Organizational Development for Counterrevolutionary Warfare Between 1945 and 1962
ISBN: 9781507749227 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Evolving operations in the twenty-first century suggest a continued value for historical study of previous counterinsurgency operations. Study of such operations tends towards a degree of research into operational theory of security forces against insurgents. Application of counterinsurgency doctrinal guidance requires tailored organizational models for the participating ground forces. An example of an army which developed specific ground force organizational models in support of counterinsurgency is the French Army in the period between 1945 and 1962. This time frame includes the major...

United States' Grand Strategy Through the Lens of Lebanon in 1983 and Iraq in 2003
ISBN: 9781502923950 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The United States failed in both Lebanon in 1982-1984 and Iraq in 2003, to achieve its political objectives. While there are many reasons for this, perhaps the greatest is that the government failed to coordinate and direct all of its resources in a unified manner to achieve its goals. This book outlines four key indicators, present in both Lebanon and Iraq that suggest the United States did not have a grand strategy. Further, this book reveals that Lebanon and Iraq are not anomalies; there are both historical and structural reasons why the United States struggles to implement grand...

Defeat at Kasserine: American Armor Doctrine, Training, and Battle Command in Northwest Africa, World War II
ISBN: 9781500823139 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The 1st Armored Division was the first American armored unit to enter combat against German panzer divisions in World War II. A product of the contentious mechanization process between the First and Second World Wars, the division soon found itself to be outmatched by its German foe. Following a relatively easy victory against the Vichy French after the amphibious landings of Operation Torch, the division lost a series of battles to the Germans, culminating in a decisive defeat at Kasserine Pass. Doctrine (both institutional and equipment), training, and battle command all proved to be...

Evaluating the Impact of Drug Trafficking Organizations on the Stability of the Mexican State
ISBN: 9781500414740 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since 2007, when President Felipe Calderon declared his government's war on the drug trafficking organizations operating in his country, the level of narcotics related violence has increased dramatically. The violence, which had been largely confined to factions of the cartels, now threatens every citizen and is devastating the economy of the border region. This work evaluates the impact of Mexican drug cartels on the stability of the Mexican State and on the security of the U.S. The primary conclusion drawn is that the Mexican state is unlikely to fail as state failure is defined, but the...

ISBN: 9781500779986 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the ambiguities of Chinese strategic and military thought and introduces a new concept of Chinese Strategic Art to help analysts understand how the People's Republic of China (PRC) thinks about and practices strategy. This book argues that there is a distinct Chinese strategic culture which combines with the principles of strategic theory to create Chinese Strategic Art. The study uses a qualitative case study methodology and applies the Chinese Strategic Art framework to three case studies to evaluate and assess the subjective conditions that influence the PRC leadership's...

The Confederate Defense of Vicksburg: A Case Study of the Principles of the Offensive in the Defense
ISBN: 9781511761673 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study concerns an analysis of the Confederate defense of Vicksburg with respect to one of the nine principles of war, the principle of the offensive. The problem in the study was to determine if Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton ever applied tho principle of the offensive during his defense of Vicksburg and to determine why he failed to gain any freedom of action during the Vicksburg Campaign. The important conclusions are: 1. Pemberton applied the principle prior to May 1, 1863. 2. He did not apply the principle during the final Union thrust for Vicksburg, mainly because of the lack...

What's "Good Enough?": Stability or Democracy as a Strategic End in State-Building
ISBN: 9781500731571 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What kind of policy can the United States and the international community pursue that increases the likelihood that stability emerges in failed and failing states? I develop a theory of state-building to guide decision makers. The theory states that if decision makers want to foster stability in other countries via state-building, they should prioritize (1) the cultivation of indigenous systems (economic, security, judicial, and social) over externally-imposed systems and (2) stability over democratization. Pulling inductively from four cases studies (Somalia, East Timor, Haiti, and Bosnia...

Extremist Religious Ideologies and Military Strategy
ISBN: 9781500197360 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There are literally hundreds of factions in various countries all over the world that support or have religious ideologies that are considered extreme. They are extreme because they conduct or sponsor violent acts and because they seek to undermine the legitimacy of a nation's government while instilling fear in the hearts and minds of the population. These factions or groups have often used a distorted view of religion to propagate their agenda. At the top of the agenda for some and one of the greatest concerns for America is transnational terrorism and those that use extremist religious...

The Chickasaw Bayou Campaign
ISBN: 9781511762496 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study investigates the decisive factors that affected the Chickasaw Bayou Campaign, General Ulysses S. Grant's first effort to seize Vicksburg. By December 1862 Grant's forces had fought into north central Mississippi. Simultaneously, Major General John A. McClernand had convinced President Lincoln to allow him to command an independent amphibious force to operate on the Mississippi against Vicksburg. Grant hastily organized his own river expedition under Major General William T. Sherman to seize Vicksburg. The resulting campaign ended in the repulse of Union forces at Chickasaw Bayou....

General Abrams presents a sound historical example of the practical application of operational art as viewed through the lens of the Army Design Methodology. When General Abrams assumed command of Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV), he was able to frame his environment enabling him to enact measures to solve the correct problem which was, how to equip and train the ARVN while simultaneously focusing on population centric efforts in counterinsurgency-ultimately eliminating the need for U.S. presence in Vietnam. Under his authority, American forces were broken up into small units that...
