Climate Change and Vietnam
ISBN: 9781511432894 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As one of the most vulnerable countries globally to the consequences of climate change, Vietnam is highly likely to experience a variety of negative impacts over the next century. These include increasing (and increasingly variable) temperatures and rainfall, along with sea level rise and associated increased salinity of coastal water networks. The social and economic consequences will be unevenly distributed across the population, and in some cases may be exacerbated by well-intentioned modernization efforts. The cross-cutting nature of these phenomenon will require a heterogeneous network...

Force Projection, Strategic Agility and the Big Meltdown
ISBN: 9781502972453 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Due to global warming, the polar icepack which covers the Arctic Sea is melting. One of the very likely results of this environmental phenomenon is the year-round opening of the Arctic maritime sea routes. The strategic and operational implications for U.S. national and military security strategies would be significant. These routes would connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and provide both alternate and shorter maritime routes for U.S. force projection and strategic agility. Inter-theater movement of forces over the top of the world would provide a supported combatant commander both...

The COIN Approach to Mexican Drug Cartels: Square Peg in a Round Hole
ISBN: 9781508714354 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Despite assertions to the contrary, the violence, drug trafficking and lawlessness that we see in northern Mexico does not constitute on insurgency. Drug cartels have no ideology beyond profit, no political aspirations other than to be left alone, and no popular support beyond that which can be purchased with money or intimidation. They are classic criminal organizations. A counterinsurgency strategy based on the now-famous Field Manual 3-24, written under the auspices of then-LTGs David Petraeus and James Mattis in 2006, is therefore inappropriate for Mexico. Some COIN principles and...

Targeting the True Center of Gravity in the U.S. War on Terrorism
ISBN: 9781500748418 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In contrast with previous wars aimed at overcoming ideologies such as fascism in World War II or communism in the Cold War, the current "Global War on Terrorism" represents the first American war aimed at a means to an end vice the end itself. Without doubt, the increased ambiguousness of the adversary in this war presents new and more complex challenges in successfully assessing the Clausewitzian dictum of center of gravity. Previously, it was sufficient to pronounce a nation's military, or its leadership, or its national wealth as its center of gravity, and having identified such, a...

Deception, Surprise and Attack: Operational Art for Air Superiority
ISBN: 9781505315356 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. U.S. doctrine calls for deception to be part of every tactical, operational and strategic plan. Unfortunately, this deception plan is often included as little more than an afterthought rather than an integrated part of whole planning process. Further, the deception plan frequently only focuses on operational security (OPSEC) of one's own plan. Despite U.S. operational commanders' dependence on air superiority, their only guidance is often only the vague "gain" or "achieve" air superiority received as tasking in an operational order. A comprehensive and integrated deception plan, leading to a...

General Robert E. Lee: Brightest Star in the South
ISBN: 9781500422189 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. History is often overlooked for its value in terms of lessons learned. By examining General Robert E. Lee's distinctive application of operational art and leadership as the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, we can discern many lessons which are still pertinent to our commanders at the operational level today. From his selection of Lieutenant General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson as one of his corps commanders during his reorganization of the Army of Northern Virginia, his methods to build morale to his strategy and his balancing of Space, Time and Force there are many lessons to be...

Theater Variations in Naval Special Warfare Command and Control Violate Joint Doctrine
ISBN: 9781511432849 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The debate surrounding forward-deployed Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Command and Control (C2) has been conducted since before 1987 when Special Operations Forces were organized under U.S. Special Operations Command. Why the NSW C2 debate continues today is a mystery considering the unambiguous doctrine and l that have been established on the subject. An examination of the variations in theater NSW C2 structures revea there are "doctrine and law offenders" in a chain from the NSW community to the JCS staff. The CJCS approved doctrine governing NSW C2 and the law that supports it are apparently...

An AK, Three Clips and a Koran: Deciphering Al Qaeda's Principles of War
ISBN: 9781500822460 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many papers and reports have been written on Al Qaeda and the western principles of war. Government agencies and universities throughout the world work hard to analyze the background of Al Qaeda to better understand the organization and where its next strike might occur. At the same time, theorists and academics debate whether the principles of war debated since the time of Clausewitz still apply to the modern battles that we face against Al Qaeda. Very little work has been done combining these two topics to determine if Al Qaeda has unique principles of war and if so, what can be done about...

Revisiting Taiwan's Defense Strategy
ISBN: 9781502929587 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. China's recent military modernization has fundamentally altered Taiwan's security options. New Chinese submarines, advanced surface-to-air missiles, and, especially, short-range ballistic and land-attack cruise missiles have greatly reduced Taiwan's geographic advantage. Taipei can no longer expect to counter Chinese military strengths in a symmetrical manner, with Patriot interceptors, diesel submarines, surface warships, F-16 fighters, and P-3 maritime patrol aircraft. Taiwan must therefore rethink and redesign its defense strategy, emphasizing the asymmetrical advantage of being the...

Sea Basing: Necessary Transformation?
ISBN: 9781511432870 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The paper examines Sea Basing with regard to operational functions of operational command and control, movement and maneuver, operational intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, operational fires, operational logistics, and operational protection. The focus is on what Sea Basing could provide the combatant commander twenty years from now compared to what current carrier and expeditionary strike groups and maritime prepositioning force ships provide a combatant commander today. The question of whether Sea Basing is really a transformational concept or simply the next logical step in...

Naval Mine Countermeasures: The Achilles Heel of U.S. Homeland Defense
ISBN: 9781500878092 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Sea mining is one of the least expensive, easiest to employ, and most highly effective methods for an adversary to deny sea control to a major sea power. It is therefore most alarming, in this era of increasing anti-U.S. terrorist activity, that the current U.S. Navy's mine countermeasures (MCM) posture falls critically short of achieving the necessary peacetime conditions to effectively counter mine threats along its Atlantic seaboard and Gulf coast. Perennial budgetary neglect and a mismanagement of the basic operational art concept of balancing the factors Space, Time, and Force have...

Gaming the Interwar - How Naval War College Wargames Tilted the Playing Field for the U.S. Navy During World War II
ISBN: 9781500153762 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Wargames provide unbelievable opportunities for learning. They pique the interest and passion of the casual tactician or historian and assist the professional military officer in operational planning and execution. Their capacity for imparting knowledge can either supplant or complement lectures. Wargames are a valuable tool for the molding of the professional military officer. During the interwar period the United States Naval War College (NWC) used wargames extensively as a method of teaching both history and current tactics to aspiring naval officers. The NWC believed in wargaming's value...

The issues of poverty, education, and emigration are intertwined in Mexico. Each issue directly affects the others with poverty being the main shared component. Further analysis indicates that these issues in turn affect the United States with illegal immigration at the forefront of these three issues. This paper researches these three components and discusses how they affect each other and in turn effect the economic development of southern Mexico. Furthermore, current changes in Mexico's education system are discussed and...

So Whose Sword Is This Anyways? Applying The Three Levels of War To Conflict Termination
ISBN: 9781503101395 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Joint Doctrine discusses three levels of war but fails to apply this concept to enemy surrender (conflict termination). The three levels of war correlate to a framework of three different levels of surrender; tactical, operational, and strategic surrender. The Operational Commander can use this framework to differentiate between three significantly different situations and respond appropriately. Wars throughout history have ended in both operational and strategic surrenders. Wars that end in an operational surrender must be converted to a strategic surrender. Otherwise, as history shows,...

The Genesis of an Operational Commander: Georgi K. Zhukov at Khalkin Gol
ISBN: 9781511592451 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Red Army's defeat of the Germans during the Second World War is one of the Great achievements in military history. The military man most responsible for that victory was Marshal Georgi Zhukov. Though less well known than some of his German or allied counterparts, Zhukov was a brilliant practitioner of a distinctive, and uniquely Soviet, style of operational art. This style was first tested against the Japanese Kwangtung Army at Khalkin Gol in Mongolia. Zhukov"s operational scheme at Khalkin Gol was the prototype for his later successes at Moscow, Stalingrad and Kursk.

Navy Information Dominance, the Battle of Midway, and the Joint Force Commander: It Worked Then, It Needs to Work Now
ISBN: 9781500926144 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The changing character of warfighting from the traditional domains of air, sea, land, and to an extent space, to the Information Domain and Cyberspace, is putting increased emphasis on the need for the Joint Force Commander to employ his force to achieve Information Dominance. The information domain in warfighting is becoming increasingly relevant as nations develop capabilities to defend and operate offensively in cyberspace. The goal of Navy Information Dominance is to assist in achieving decision superiority, Assured Command and Control, Battlespace Awareness, and Integrated Fires. Navy...
