By employing mounted raids. commandeers eliminate the need for a logistics "tall" to follow the ground force, and they gain the flexibility...

A Federal Volunteer Regiment in the Philippine Insurrection: The History of the 32nd Infantry (United States Volunteers) 1899 to 1901
ISBN: 9781511568890 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The federal volunteer regiments that fought in the Philippine insurgency from 1899 to 1901 were the product of intense political infighting, negotiation and compromise at the highest levels of the American government. Oddities among military units, these regiments were neither state militia nor regular army. They were national units filled with state volunteers. The federal volunteer regiments were fleeting organizations. They had no history and no future. Not only did they lack unit legacies to inspire their soldiers; they were disbanded within two years of their creation. Yet, in 1899, 1900...

ISBN: 9781507564936 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Could the United States have capitalized on the Green Movement's activities after the 2009 presidential...

ISBN: 9781503204003 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The term operational reach, an element of operational design, is new to U.S. Army doctrine. Operational reach is not found in the previous edition of the Army's basic operational doctrine, Field Manual (FM) 100-5, Operations, published in June 1993.

As battalions began execution of C-H-B operations, a critical issue emerged: how to design such operations for execution at the tactical (battalion) level....

United States' Grand Strategy Through the Lens of Lebanon in 1983 and Iraq in 2003
ISBN: 9781500742447 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The United States failed in both Lebanon in 1982-1984 and Iraq in 2003, to achieve its political objectives. While there are many reasons for this, perhaps the greatest is that the government failed to coordinate and direct all of its resources in a unified manner to achieve its goals. This book outlines four key indicators, present in both Lebanon and Iraq, that suggest the United States did not have a grand strategy. Further, this book reveals that Lebanon and Iraq are not anomalies; there are both historical and structural reasons why the United States struggles to implement grand...

Adaptation, Learning, and the Art of War: A Cybernetic Perspective
ISBN: 9781511452977 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this study is to research and examine the processes of living complex adaptive systems in the context of an uncertain and ever-changing environment. Drawing from the works of William Ross Ashby and contemporary cybernetic thought, the study modeled the adaptive systems as control loops and the processes of adaptive systems as a Markov process. Using this model, the study concluded that systems would return to the same relative equilibrium point, expressed in terms of requisite variety, with their environment unless they changed the rate of relative adaptation into their favor...

Security: Individuals and Leviathans
ISBN: 9781511445108 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is human security and how does it fit in the current world order? The United Nations (UN) proposed human security in 1994 at the end of the Cold War. In Western liberal tradition, individuals cause the state to exist for each of their several basic needs and interests, which constitutes a relationship between a state and its people. Human security is a UN prescription for governing constructively on behalf of the interests and needs of people. This paper operates on a Western political history assumption: security requires a leviathan, an enforcer. The monograph considers different world...

The staff of the Army of the Potomac serves as the best example of the adaptive transformation of capabilities out of necessity and experience. It developed systems similar to an operations process, organic intelligence processing capabilities, and advised the commanding general whose span of control and operational reach surpassed the capacity of his mental genius. Staff processes evolved because of the decentralization of responsibilities to staff departments and away from the commander. Accurate assessment of enemy and friendly combat power were critical to battle planning, including long...
