Illicit Drug Funding: The Surprising Systemic Similarities Between the FARC and the Taliban
ISBN: 9781480023840 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The preponderance of literature and scholarly debate on counterinsurgency (COIN) focuses on the strategic or operational approach: leader-focused; large group-focused; special operations; conventional operations; enemy centric; and the latest, population-centric. While the criticism on the latter approach accuses it of plagiarizing work on the subject written in the 1960s, the current debate may result in distraction from how to effectively do long-term damage to insurgent groups. There is a relatively small conglomerate of scholarly work that focuses on the illicit sources of funding for...

Will U.S. Forces Be "Hollow" Once Again?
ISBN: 9781503219021 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the current debates surrounding "hollow forces" and the decrease in the defense budget following prolonged conflict. Leaders' strategic choices, which lead to decreasing resources, sometimes create the perception of hollow forces. The author uses the case study methodology to examine potential causal relationships. The case studies examined are the Korean War, following the Vietnam War, after the Cold War, and the present conflict. The author discovered that the lack of training and numbers led to a perception of a hollow force in those cases. In addition, the author...

Globalization of the International Arms Industry: A Step Towards ABCA and NATO Interoperability?
ISBN: 9781480022850 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This paper explores the relationship between globalization of the arms industry and interoperability. Its premise is that while the arms industry has undertaken significant steps to globalize, NATO and ABCA military force interoperability levels remain woefully inadequate. Over sixty years ago NATO and the ABCA program sought to standardize the militaries of their member nations. Each member country agreed to take steps to ensure that interoperability among force elements was achieved. A truly globalized arms industry offers a platform to achieve greater standardization and interoperability...

ISBN: 9781479286898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. After ten years the ESDP has reached an important milestone in its development.

The ESS as the overarching strategic document for the ESDP claims an encompassing security approach and calls...

Commander's Emergency Response Program: A Flawed Metric
ISBN: 9781500530327 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Throughout its military history, the United States has demonstrated poor institutional memory resulting in a tendency to reinvent the wheel. The development of counterinsurgency doctrine in Vietnam, for instance, yielded valuable knowledge about combating an irregular enemy. Regardless, the subsequent foray into a counterinsurgent environment during Operation Iraqi Freedom proved problematic as the U.S. scrambled to adapt to yet another asymmetric threat. Operationally, the selection of performance metrics by the U.S. in complex and adaptive battlefields has mirrored this argument. Throughout...

Military Pundits: Retired but Still Serving?
ISBN: 9781479329557 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In September of 2001, 90% of America received most of their news on the terrorist attacks against the United States from television; a number that would hold steady at 89% throughout Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). In April of 2003 while the United States led the coalition of the willing in OIF, many retired officers stated on television that the Department of Defense had not planned and resourced the war properly, resulting in an operation that would proceed longer than expected. Unsecured supply lines and a shortage of troops involved in the campaign were the largest criticisms, earning...

Balancing the Societal Dimensions of Venezuela and Colombia through the Amnesty, Reconciliation, and Reintegration (AR2) Process
ISBN: 9781479200139 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This paper explains that in order for a fractured society to forge a lasting, stable peace, it requires not only a holistic approach to amnesty, reintegration, and reconciliation (AR2) but also a balance of three critical dimensions within its process: the political, security, and economic dimensions. It contends that if the process of AR2 is not complete or there is an imbalance in the system, the fractured society will either remain at an unstable peace, if contained, or move to crisis or possibly to war. On the surface, a government may seem successful in its quest at conflict resolution,...

The IDF: Tactical Success - Strategic Failure, SOD, the Second Intifada and Beyond
ISBN: 9781481166201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Throughout its history the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has exhibited brilliant tactical performance. The War of Independence, the Sinai Campaign, the Six Day War, and even the 1973 War placed Israel on a martial pedestal with few peers. On closer inspection, examination reveals a lack of operational foresight and the failure to achieve its ultimate objective - peace with its Arab neighbors. The IDF, because of its perilous strategic geography and small regular military force, became wedded to an exclusive offensive and preemptive doctrine that was shattered during the 1973 War, or October...

Operational Control of Global Airpower
ISBN: 9781505378214 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines operational control of bombers stationed in the United States but employed halfway around the world. When a contingency arises, operational control should be clear-cut from the beginning. Air Force doctrine concerning command and control is easily understood for assets that deploy into a theater. The mere issue of proximity to the commander makes control seem somewhat less confusing. However, when bombers generate under one combatant commander and execute their mission under the operational control of another combatant commander, the timing of when one commander...

Missing in Action: African American Combat Arms Officers in the United States Army
ISBN: 9781500830908 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to examine the subject of African American United States Army officers and their service in the combat arms branches. The research uncovered the complex roles that African American combat arms officers assumed during the past century, and how these roles evolved into their current variation that benefits from the army's unwavering commitment to equal opportunity. A historic snapshot of 20th century America's domestic tensions adequately framed the pressing issue of why African American officers currently choose to serve in the combat arms at a disproportional rate...

Second Manassas- An Operational Dynamics Perspective
ISBN: 9781511728829 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 44 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The concept of winning wars when outnumbered is critical to United States doctrine in the 1980s and- 1990s. As the product of domestic and allied force structuring, our most dangerous enemy has developed a clear cut superiority in mass. That disadvantage does not however, relieve planners of the responsibility for developing plans that propose ways of defeating our larger enemy. This study examines the elements of operational dynamics in light of their use as tools in the development of such a plan. The vehicle for this examination is the Second Manassas Campaign of the American Civil War....

Effect of Context on Internal and External Actor's Perception on COIN
ISBN: 9781479271146 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Tactical level nuances between COIN by an external and an internal actor are barely distinguishable. The successful COIN practices for an external actor listed in FM 3-24 COIN manual of US Army include maintaining a constant, forward presence with the population, acquiring and disseminating accurate and timely intelligence, and avoiding overreaction to insurgent activity. These well recognized and established principles are also applicable to COIN conducted by internal actors. At the operational level, however, the context in which both the actors operate is fundamentally different. COIN...
