In The Politics of Coercion: Toward a Theory of Coercive Airpower for Post-Cold War Conflict, Lt. Col. Ellwood P. "Skip" Hinman IV confronts an issue of high interest to airmen and policy makers alike: What does coercion theory suggest about the use of airpower in the early twenty-first century? More specifically, Colonel Hinman seeks to determine whether any of the existing theories of coercion can stand alone as a coherent, substantive, and codified approach to airpower employment. Framing his analysis on three key attributes of conflict in the post-Cold War era - limited, nonprotracted...

Virtual Wingman: Harnessing the Future Unstructured Information Environment to Achieve Mission Success: Wright Flyer Paper No. 48
ISBN: 9781479281442 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Department of Defense (DOD) is quickly reaching an information technology (IT) crossroad; its choices will determine whether it achieves decisional superiority or becomes paralyzed and drowns in its own data. Information management technologies and practices currently used to exploit the exponentially growing volumes of data are rapidly becoming inadequate. For instance, a battalion intelligence analyst requires time-critical information spread across 200 different networks in 20 different languages. Upon uncovering a bad lot of batteries, a satellite program manager must survey 15...

Examining the Effectiveness of SWET and the Sons of SWET in OIF
ISBN: 9781479281503 / Angielski / Miękka / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After the United States (U.S.) Coalition forces invaded Iraq, the transition to stability operations has been difficult for the U.S. Coalition forces. One method used by the 1st Cavalry Division, in 2004, was to develop logical lines of operations that provided units with methods and guidance to accomplish key tasks in the stability operations phase. Under the essential services line of operations a concept that was implemented to help win the hearts and minds of the local Iraqi population was the sewage, water, electricity, and trash program also known as SWET. SWET became known as the...

Designing Bare Base Systems for Logistics Efficiency in the Joint Operational Environment: Wright Flyer Paper No. 28
ISBN: 9781479287031 / Angielski / Miękka / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The current service-centric approach to bare base capability has produced capability overlaps and logistics inefficiencies. The two primary bare base systems-the Air Force Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR) and the Army Force Provider-have limited interoperability. In recent conflicts, the lack of joint doctrine or joint bare base architecture has hampered the ability of the services to achieve fully operational forward locations within a satisfactory length of time. The current approach to bare base operations is at odds with Department of Defense (DOD) transformation plans, which...

Division METL - Clinging to an Antiquated Paradigm?
ISBN: 9781479287093 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the end of the Cold War and its associated deterrent strategy, the United States' global responsibilities have not only increased the U.S. Army's tempo in stability and support operations but has also increasingly challenged longstanding roles of traditional Army headquarters - particularly the division headquarters. U.S. Army divisions over the last decade have increasingly found themselves operating beyond the tactical level of war - an area they are not organized or prepared for. Division doctrine over the last decade has clearly framed the division as the Army's highest tactical...

Do the Principles of War Apply to Cyber War?
ISBN: 9781479291939 / Angielski / Miękka / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The purpose of this monograph is to examine whether the Principles of War, as defined within the U.S. military's Joint Publication 3-0, Joint Operations, can be applied to cyber war. Since 2005, the U.S. military recognized cyber conflict as a new domain for conducting military operations. Consequently, in order to ensure future success on the battlefield, commanders need to understand cyberspace operations and how these operations fit within the Principles of War. The methodology of this paper is to first examine, and subsequently show the history of the Principles of War in order to provide...

Airpower in the Context of a Dysfunctional Joint Doctrine: Maxwell Paper No. 7
ISBN: 9781479349661 / Angielski / Miękka / 34 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This important research deals with the intellectual foundation of the American profession of arms - our joint doctrine. The author, Lt. Col. Carl R. Pivarsky, Jr., USAF, argues that the current doctrine development process has become a zero-sum game driven by the chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff (CJCS) declaring joint doctrine to be "authoritative." The resultant interservice competition has produced a keystone joint doctrine publication, Joint Publication (Pub) 301, Doctrine for Joint Operations, that unfortunately has been corrupted to serve parochial service interests. This research...
