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 Strait of Malacca Formula: Success in Counter Piracy and Its Applicability to the Gulf of Aden
ISBN: 9781497521414 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Piracy is increasing at an alarming rate in the Gulf of Aden and off the Somali coast. Piracy in the Strait of Malacca region once ran rampant, but has steadily declined since 2003. It seems useful to apply the counter-piracy tactics used in this region to the Gulf of Aden area to attempt a decline in pirate attacks. An attempt to apply the counter-piracy tactics used in the Malacca region to the Gulf of Aden region will fail. The Strait of Malacca littoral states all have well-functioning, established governments which give them the ability to apply the rest of their counter-piracy "formula"...

Tactical Success is Not Enough: The French in Algeria 1954-1962
ISBN: 9781511432863 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This paper focuses on why France, a country with tremendous advantages in resources and military strength was defeated by a group of poorly equipped and largely untrained Algerian insurgents who mainly operated in groups of ten to twenty men and probably never had over fifteen thousand active fighters inside the borders of Algeria.1 The crux of the issue is that France failed to understand the nature of the war and why the Algerians were fighting. This failure led the French to misidentify the Algerian strategic center of gravity and by their actions, to make French centers of gravity, their...

The Ultimate Quarterback: How the Joint Force Commander Can Utilize the Air Component, Supported by the Ground and Special Forces Components, to
ISBN: 9781503305199 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The current U.S. military way of war is driven by a conventional, symmetric combat mindset. This immediately leads to designating the ground component as the main effort to achieve operational objectives against ground-centric adversaries. There may be, however, better options that would maximize combat potential to meet the operational objectives with the fewest losses in the least amount of time. One of those options would be for the Joint Force Commander (JFC) to designate airpower as the main effort, using the Joint Force Land Component Commander (JFLCC) and Joint Force Special Operations...

Boko Haram's Path to Victory
ISBN: 9781502590510 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Planning for War Termination with China
ISBN: 9781500780036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

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. 16-18 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...

Providing for the Common Defense Within our Borders
ISBN: 9781502924155 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the U.S. law regarding use of the U.S. Armed Forces in domestic affairs. A brief scenario involving a terrorist attack using a weapon of mass destruction introduces an example of the dangers inherent in the use of military forces to regain or maintain public law and order. The discussion of U.S. law begins with the history of Posse Comitatus and proceeds through the passage of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The Department of Homeland Security was created by this law and a subsequent action of establishing a unified commander with geographic responsibilities for the...

Surrogate Armies: Redefining the Ground Forces
ISBN: 9781500840884 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

The Gettysburg Campaign: Lee's Failure to Define Intent
ISBN: 9781511729482 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Pre-emptive Threat Mitigation: Neutralizing the Boko Haram Threat to U.S. Interests
ISBN: 9781505346763 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. West Africa presents unique and complex challenges to the security of the United States (US) and critical US interests abroad. Nigeria, the largest and most diplomatically, militarily and economically progressive nation in West Africa, faces severe threats of instability promulgated by the burgeoning terrorist group, Boko Haram. East Africa is the traditional focus of U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM); however, there is a compelling need to address West African issues before the region becomes the next primary challenge in the counterinsurgency (COIN) dilemma. Detailed USAFRICOM engagement can...

Thucydides on Policy, Strategy, and War Termination
ISBN: 9781505912920 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Running on Fumes: A Critical Look at Mexico's Natural Gas Transportation and Distribution Infrastructure
ISBN: 9781503099401 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since the advent of neo-liberalism in Mexico nearly 30 years ago, the country has seen sustained economic growth, particularly in the service and industrial export sectors. There is potential for this growth to continue and for Mexico to become one of the ten largest economies on the globe, but in order for this to happen there will need to be reliable and widespread access to energy. Natural gas is rapidly becoming the predominant energy source in Mexico, but the future of the natural gas industry there is in doubt. This paper assesses the status of Mexico's natural gas industry,...

Military Operations: The Harmful Effects of Hubris Influenced
ISBN: 9781500882372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

The Saratoga Campaign: Maneuver Warfare, The Continental Army, and the Birth of
ISBN: 9781493562800 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Saratoga Campaign (June-October 1777) was a watershed event for the United States. The American conduct of the campaign is a textbook study in the application of the tenets of maneuver warfare principles at the operational and tactical levels. General Schuyler's brilliant shaping campaign against the British Forces as they advanced from Fort Ticonderoga to Albany forced General Burgoyne to detach elements of his force, which the Americans were able to isolate, mass forces against, and destroy. Ultimately, Schuyler's shaping cased the British campaign to culminate prior to the main...

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. 16-18 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.
