The Other Clash of Civilizations - Samuel Huntington and American Civil Military
ISBN: 9781497533240 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work examines three American civil-military relationships using two frameworks presented by Huntington. Huntington's frames illustrate more clearly how the relationships in these three presidential administrations-Wilson, Truman, and Johnson-functioned and how the level of functionality influenced the prosecution of a war. The first framework consists of the three types of civil military relationships - balanced pattern, coordinated scheme and vertical pattern. The second framework is the patterns of civil-military relations. He addresses five combinations of three variables to explain...

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...

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. It is one of the most dynamic policy areas in the framework of the European Union (EU) and is a substantial integration project. Behind this background the study analyzes the question, What has ESDP achieved in its main fields of action (capabilities, operations/missions and strategic partnership with NATO to include transatlantic relations) to meet the requirements of the European Security Strategy (ESS)? The ESS as the overarching strategic document for the ESDP claims an encompassing security approach and calls...

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,...

Enemies into Allies: American Stability Operations and the Transformation of Japan 1945-1952
ISBN: 9781502926173 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Stability operations secure national goals for military action by establishing the conditions for lasting peace after conflict or by mitigating the effects of humanitarian crisis. During the occupation of Japan following the end of World War II, American forces conducted stability operations that effectively did both. In the process, the American occupation forces transformed a defeated enemy nation into valued ally. This study identified lessons applicable to future missions from the American stability operations conducted in Japan from 1945 to 1952 by examining the strategy for the...

This monograph studies the racial integration of Army ground combat units in Eighth (US) Army during the Korean War. The purpose of the monograph is to determine how this change in the utilization of African-American combat soldiers impacted the effectiveness of a US Army organization engaged in fighting a war.

To answer the primary research question, this monograph also...

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...

Operational Main Effort and Campaign Planning
ISBN: 9781511734011 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study examines the main effort concept to determine if it is a necessary element for the design of a campaign plan. Current joint operational doctrine fails to address the main effort concept. This study examines service tactical doctrine, service operational doctrine, theory, and contemporary writers to articulate an operational main effort concept. The main effort concept and ends, ways and means variables are then used to analyze four campaigns: Germany's successful 1940 campaign to conquer France; Germany's unsuccessful 1942 campaign on the Russian Southern Front; Japan's...

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...

How Should the Fires Network for the Future Force BDE Level UA Be Structured?
ISBN: 9781480030169 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A network is a system of sensors, information processing and decision-making centers, and firing platforms connected by communications lines. The concept of Network-Centric Warfare originated to solve operational level problems at the joint level. Networking fires at the brigade level unit of action could theoretically add to the efficiency and effectiveness of lower level tactical fires by giving units at all levels direct access to all available fires in the area of operations. This monograph constitutes an exploratory study of and preliminary analysis of the effects of networking all...

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...

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...
