Force Projection, Strategic Agility and the Big Meltdown
ISBN: 9781502972453 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Climate Change and Vietnam
ISBN: 9781511432894 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

General Robert E. Lee: Brightest Star in the South
ISBN: 9781500422189 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Robert E. Lee the Operational Commander: A Star on His Own Course
ISBN: 9781500545574 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The central theme of this paper is the operational analysis of Lee as the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia. It is meant to transcend the mythical military status of Lee and offer lessons learned for the modern military commander at the operational level. The purpose of this paper is to concentrate on bridging the gap between tactical operations and strategic goals; that of the operational art. It will also discuss some of the less glorious aspects of designing the campaign, command and control, reconnaissance and logistics to show how important these are in developing a coherent...

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. 13-18 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...

Boko Haram's Path to Victory
ISBN: 9781502590510 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Government of Nigeria's corruption and failure to address its people's grievances combined with the regional wave of Islamic extremism is fueling the rise of a strengthening insurgency called Boko Haram. Boko Haram's efforts have been steadily increasing in scale, though the majority of its actions are in Northeastern Nigeria. This book takes a "Red Team" approach and proposes three lines of effort for a campaign plan that would give Boko Haram the ability to achieve its objective of separating the North of Nigeria from the South. The first line of effort is to secure funding by...

The Gettysburg Campaign: Lee's Failure to Define Intent
ISBN: 9781511729482 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the extent to which General Robert E. Lee adequately delineated and conveyed his intent for the campaign into Pennsylvania in the Summer of 1863. The argument is made and defended that General Lee did not have the overall intent of the campaign firmly defined in his own mind. Failure to convey commander's intent caused his subordinates to operate without unity of effort. This led to confusion throughout the campaign and ultimately disaster at the Battle of Gettysburg. The book discusses General Lee's correspondence and conversations which provide contradictory views of his...

Measured Maritime Response to Disaster Relief Scenarios in the Pacific
ISBN: 9781500977825 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book attempts to determine whether the United States has appropriately scaled its maritime response to humanitarian disasters within the Pacific Region. The presence of excess capacity presents a number of difficulties and may indicate a failure to properly anticipate the operational environment due to the distinctive humanitarian nature of disaster assistance operations. By examining the maritime responses to the 2011 Great Japan Earthquake and tsunami, as well as the 2004 Aceh Earthquake and tsunami, I will look for consistencies in response and possible instances of excessive force...

Sea Basing: Necessary Transformation?
ISBN: 9781511432870 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Military Operations: The Harmful Effects of Hubris Influenced
ISBN: 9781500882372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Hubris is an inherent character trait within each individual, yet common to all, and access to power merely serves as conduits for the scope of damage should hubris remain unchecked. Military failures resulting from the fatal flaw of hubris have the potential for significant lost national treasure and blood. From a combatant commander perspective, a military leader driven by the dangerous illusion of personal grandeur, arrogance and narcissism, endangers operational objectives as well as negatively influences current and future strategic objectives. The continual battle to resist hubris...

It's Not the Size of the Dog in the Fight; It's all About Who's Feeding the Dog: Countering External Support for Insurgency
ISBN: 9781508845485 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nearly all successful insurgencies throughout history have enjoyed some form of external support. Whether it takes the form of political, financial, or military assistance, insurgencies are often dependent upon this support for their survival. It logically follows then that removing that support will severely reduce an insurgency's chances of success. Given the nature of the GWOT, the military planner faces an increasing number of small wars. The first step to winning the hearts and minds is maintaining the security of the population. Disarmament is essential to security.

The COIN Approach to Mexican Drug Cartels: Square Peg in a Round Hole
ISBN: 9781505367416 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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. 13-18 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...

Operation Anaconda: Command and Control through Video-Teleconferences
ISBN: 9781503268838 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Before the video-teleconference came into use, operational level commanders often relied on personal observations in order to make decisions. Commanders personally observed their subordinates' actions and were able to gain a "feel" for the battlefield. Advanced information technology has changed the way operational commanders communicate with subordinates. Face-to-face meetings and personal observations have largely been replaced by video-teleconferences (VTC). While in use for many years, Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) ushered in the first widespread use...

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. 13-18 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,...

Tactical Success and Operational Failure in the Anit-Access Area- Denial Environment: A Historical Operational Art Analysis of Operation CERBERUS
ISBN: 9781500577735 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Today the tactical challenges of operating within an anti-access area-denial environment form the focus of the United States Navy. While the tactical tasks are daunting, they must no longer remain the Navy's first priority. If naval leadership continues to focus on the tactical level difficulties, rather than working towards the proper development of an operational level goal linked to a desired strategic end state, the results on the high-seas will be disastrous. This work uses an operational art analysis of the German Operation CERBERUS during World War II to demonstrate the paramount...

The Balloon Effect and Mexican Homeland Security: What it Means to be the Weakest Link in the America's Security Chain
ISBN: 9781500404185 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. To enhance the Rule of Law, Mexico has attempted to significantly change its entire system of laws, by moving towards a more transparent justice system, more akin to the open adversarial system possessed by the United States than the closed inquisitorial system employed for most of the 20th century in Mexico. Unfortunately, these constitutional, legislative and professional reforms made to the Mexican justice system, while a step in the right direction, have not yet yielded the desired effect of vastly improving the Rule of Law. This work will analyze key areas of the Mexican justice system...

The Nigerian Paradox
ISBN: 9781502900883 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The prosperity of a nation is directly linked to the education of its population. An educated population has the knowledge base and skill necessary to translate its country's natural wealth (people, land, resources) into material wealth (economic strength and competitiveness). In Nigeria, this link is missing, undermined by rampant corruption at all levels of its educational system. The most damaging aspect of corruption is the amount of money lost through practices such as embezzlement. To prevent such losses, this book recommends that the Government of Nigeria undertake a comprehensive...
