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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

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...

Theater Variations in Naval Special Warfare Command and Control Violate Joint Doctrine
ISBN: 9781511432849 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Operational Vision: The Joint Force Commander's Essential Quality to Achieve Success in the Future Operating Environment
ISBN: 9781500926366 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Since the dawn of the twenty-first century, the U.S. military has been engaged in two major wars and other military operations short of war. The lessons learned suggest that the future security environment will present challenges and complexities that the joint force will be expected to overcome. The success of the joint force will depend on the operational leadership of its joint force commander. The joint force commander will need to possess and demonstrate varying leadership qualities. However, the essential quality that will facilitate the joint force to prevail is the joint force...

Surrogate Armies: Redefining the Ground Forces
ISBN: 9781500840884 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. To accelerate the Taliban's removal from power in Afghanistan, the U.S. has allied itself with a loose coalition of ethnic groups under the banners of the Northern Alliance, Eastern Alliance, and southern Pashtun tribes. This union provided a backhanded strike at the Taliban regime by re-igniting a ground war with only a modest deployment of U.S. ground forces. While the operation in Afghanistan falls under the mantle of "war," U.S. foreign policy has grappled with smaller engagements throughout the world. In many cases, these deployments reflected "important" or "humanitarian" national...

Thucydides on Policy, Strategy, and War Termination
ISBN: 9781505912920 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For decades, Thucydides's account of the Peloponnesian War has been a staple of professional military education at American war colleges, the Naval War College especially. And with good reason-he self-consciously supplies his readers a microcosm of all war. With extraordinary drama and scrupulous attention to detail he addresses the fundamental and recurring problems of strategy at all times and places. These include the origins of war, the clashing political objectives of belligerents, the strategies they choose to achieve them, and the likely character of their conflicts. As the war...

Planning for War Termination with China
ISBN: 9781500780036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book outlines the war termination considerations for the JFC in a notional scenario following an attack by China that disables an American aircraft carrier and bombards Guam and Okinawa while Chinese amphibious forces simultaneously execute an assault to capture islands in the South China Sea currently occupied by Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia. Following the Chinese strike an operational plan should initially use coercive diplomacy and avoid escalation in order to facilitate war termination through a negotiated peace. If this approach fails the JFC can then exploit factor time to...

Deception, Surprise and Attack: Operational Art for Air Superiority
ISBN: 9781505315356 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Screaming Trees - The Nigerian Deforestation Crisis
ISBN: 9781500587918 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nigeria has the highest rate of deforestation in the world and the Government of Nigeria (GON) has failed to implement an effective response to this worsening crisis. Deforestation degrades land quality and agricultural output, resulting in forced migration and increased competition for scarce resources. This erodes government legitimacy and, ultimately, leads to conflict that results in more deforestation. The GON and international community must act to break this cycle and reverse deforestation to prevent widening conflict and irreversible environmental degradation. This paper begins with...

Leveraging Operational Intelligence: The Battle of Tannenberg and Masurian Lakes (1914)
ISBN: 9781503205536 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A commander's ability to leverage operational intelligence remains a cornerstone for managing the uncertainty, fog, and friction of war in this era of seemingly endless advances in battlefield awareness and information dominance. Operational intelligence, properly understood and utilized, can become a force multiplier maximizing traditional operational art factors. The goal is information superiority thereby increasing the speed at which decisions are made, while preempting enemy choices and courses of action. The challenge for the intelligence practitioner is not new. Indeed, WWI provides...

Health Care in Mexico: Is U.S. Partnership/Intervention an Advisable Course of Action
ISBN: 9781500414610 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Mexico's leadership finds itself confronted with a variety of thorny governance issues including immigration, drug trafficking and education. Alongside these seemingly unsolvable problems sits the issue of health care which is primarily a good news story. The Mexican government has always taken a paternalistic approach to health care to the extent that access to care is a constitutional right. Nationally, Mexico's medical industry has demonstrated the ability to provide a quality of care on par with global leaders, but there are inequities in quality and availability of care as one dissects...
