Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - One of the greatest challenges military commanders face in the planning and execution of warfare is minimizing the fog of war. That gray area in which there is a knowledge gap of what the adversary is going to do at a given time or place, or how ones#65533; own forces will react to a given scenario during a campaign. The great military strategist Carl Von Clausewitz, in his work On War, described this phenomenon as an uncertainty that is present in three quarters of the factors on which action in war is based, and as such results in war being a realm of chances. In an effort to mitigate this uncertainty, commanders have historically relied on intelligence collection as one of the primary means for establishing better battlefield situation awareness.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In 1986, the fiscal year 1987 Defense Authorization Act containing the Nunn-Cohen amendment passed creating United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). Among the many authorities it was given, is the requirement to organize, train, and equip Special Operations Forces (SOF). Concomitant to this responsibility was the creation of a funding stream, Major Force Program 11, dedicated solely for the purchase of SOF-peculiar equipment, material, supplies, and services for SOF where there is no Service-common equivalent. From inception, there was no overarching organization charged with adjudication or determination of items that are contentious, or are currently paid for by SOF, but now used as Service-common, and thus should transition. Presently, transition decisions are piecemeal, occurring through mutual agreements between a Service and USSOCOM; binding acquisition decisions; or through budget documents. In an internal audit, USSOCOM found that it is paying for items which meet the definition of Service-common.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Critics argue that during Operation Desert Storm (ODS) Patriot missiles, never successfully destroyed any of the SCUD missiles that Iraq launched into Saudi Arabia. (Anderson, 8) So, from November 2002 to mid February 2003, as Patriot air defense units trickled into Kuwait in preparation for Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), the Army was not sure if the 12 years of organizational training since ODS, had prepared the Patriot community for another series of SCUD volleys. US forces on the ground were relieved when the Patriot technology of 2003 proved worthy of the task. Patriots destroyed eight SCUD missiles. Organizational training for US Patriots, however, did not improve with the technology. During the interwar years, Patriot training only focused on the technology of destroying a SCUD, ignoring the security and maneuver tasks of future operations. In OIF, US Patriots destroyed two friendly aircraft and killed three aircrew members. Additionally, the performance of a Patriot maintenance unit, the 507th Maintenance Company, proved that organizational leaders had not adequately trained Patriot forces to maneuver with tactical units.
