Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This study attempts to determine the impact of the M198 howitzer's mobility on its ability to perform as a direct support weapon during amphibious operations. The focus of this analysis is on the weapon's amphibious adaptability, ground mobility and helicopter transportability as compared to the howitzer it is replacing. The study indicates that the M198 suffers a relative loss of mobility in two critical areas. It requires a greater effort to be transported in the landing craft currently available and it requires an auxiliary mover for positioning in the absence of its prime mover. The most significant of these deficiencies is the degraded ground mobility. The development of an auxiliary propulsion unit which is an integral part of the howitzer will tremendously improve its maneuverability.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This monograph examines General J. Lawton Collins' career and argues that his command style was characterized by technical and tactical competence, the practical ability to lead from the front and sound judgment. This monograph examines these key factors in three subsections. General Collins gained his technical and tactical competence by theoretical preparation as a student and instructor. He first demonstrated the ability to position himself at the critical point on the battlefield as the commander of the 25th Infantry Division during the Guadalcanal Campaign in January 1943. As the commander of the VII Corps during the Allies' Campaign in northwest Europe from 1944 to 1945, he refined this ability. Finally, he developed sound judgment while performing key postings both during the interwar period and during the Second World War. This monograph shows how General J. Lawton Collins' command style translated into action and made him such an effective combat leader.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Why It is not because private companies cannot handle it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This monograph will present an option for US Special Operations regional force structure in light of budget constraints on manpower and acquisition programs. NATO#65533;s creation of a combined Special Operations Headquarters provides an excellent framework for the US to partner with other regional SOF in an effort to maximize burden sharing in counterterrorism and military assistance. It will first discuss the future of conflict and changes to the way America will have to do business on the battlefield with a smaller footprint. By leveraging technological and operational innovations, the US can still meet its national security requirements by presenting the right sized force with a proper mindset for the conflict at hand. Access in areas such as the Pacific remains a challenge for the US both for basing and regional public perception. NATO#65533;s newly created Special Operations Headquarters and burgeoning SOF Air Wing is a model that can be franchised to this region to bolster partner nation counterterrorism and unconventional warfare capabilities without significantly increasing US SOF footprint or expenditures. The Pacific region is but one of many that could benefit by this model.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Currently NATO forces in Central Europe face a potential adversary who possesses a marked numerical superiority in artillery firepower. This fact is due in part to a political and military decision which tips our doctrine in favor of maneuver and technology. This monograph discusses the U.S. field artillery's approach to our doctrine and attempts to answer the question: Has the artillery to date succeeded in incorporating the potential, while avoiding the vulnerabilities, of recent technological developments that might defeat the Soviet artillery in the close battle The monograph first surveys the history of Russian and Soviet artillery, specifically its reliance on massive amounts of firepower as an integral part of overall Soviet doctrine. Next, it examines the salient features of current Soviet doctrine and the U.S.'s approach to Soviet mass. Lastly, the monograph examines the field artillery's current technological thrust to determine whether new technology was grafted to the old doctrine or whether doctrine was modified to take advantage of technology. Finally, the monograph explores the doctrinal implications of employing recent technology. It concludes that doctrine is basically sound; however, steps should be taken to enhance the potential of the advances in light of Soviet attempts to counter them.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In February the Department of Defense (DoD) issued a policy addressing social media use. Little guidance is provided to DoD organizations and members on effective use of social media to present a positive image of the US military. Reviewing social media guidelines for businesses, how to use social media handbooks and other material on social media, led to the development of a social media framework for the DoD. This framework will help the DoD maximize the potential of social media and help to exploit it. The simple framework is to be proactive, transparent, build trust and evolve. The framework for social media use was then applied to three focus areas: recruiting, crisis/emergency response, and impression management. There are caveats to social media use that the military needs to consider: privacy and accountability are addressed as relating to the military use of social media.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The objective of the research was to determine what, if any, relationship existed between the United States' nuclear weapons employment policy and its arms control policy from the 1950s to the present. Specifically, we sought to determine if one policy was a causal factor for the other, or if the policies evolved in a cooperative manner. The research involved building a comparative chronology of the development and implementation of the two policies. After examining the history it was apparent they are linked in every case. Because the relationship was so variable, it must be described as a function of time; the driving force behind the relationship changed with successive US administrations and as the relative balance of nuclear strength shifted between the US and the Soviet Union. However, running through the decades were two discernible threads. One was that the short term goal for arms control always seemed to be to create an equivalence of capability, and the other was that the long term goal for both employment policy and arms control was to create the appropriate conditions to avoid nuclear war. The conclusion is that long term stability must take priority over short term numerical equivalenceThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The end of the Cold War and the changing world strategic environment has brought about a dramatic shift in the emphasis of forces throughout the military. In the past decade, the U.S. has continually been sending ad hoc deployments of forces in reaction to Iraqi actions. Several times the Air Force has deployed forces to augment a Carrier Battle Group (CVBG) already in theater or to fill a gap left behind when a CVBG could not remain on station. This study compares the Aerospace Expeditionary Force (AEF), which will be implemented in January 2000, and the CVBG. In particular, it looks at the ability of each to project power throughout the world. The National Security Strategy guides and directs military doctrine. This study shows how joint doctrine, as well as Air Force and Navy doctrine, has developed to provide viable power projection forces. The AEF is a very capable, mobile force which brings flexible firepower to the fight. It is able to respond rapidly and provide combat operations within 72 hours of execution, anywhere in the world. The AEF is limited by logistics, host nation support and overfly rights. The CVBG is also a capable force, providing flexible firepower. It is expeditionary in nature, but is limited by sortie generation, logistics and speed of deployment. The situation will dictate what forces will be necessary to meet our objectives. Commanders of tomorrow will have to analyze the situation and determine the appropriate force required and decide whether to ask 'Where is the Carrier ' or say, 'Send an AEF!'. -- Abstract.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This study explores the capability of the commander of a military installation to debar--that is, permanently remove--individuals from the installation under his or her command. Debarment is one of many tools installation commanders can use to maintain good order and discipline on the installation. Often the most extreme of the tools available to commanders, a debarment must be used appropriately. This study gives installation commanders the historical, legal, and practical background concerning debarring individuals from military installations which commanders can readily use to their benefit. The study delineates the important statutes involved in debarments as well as the courts' interpretation of those statutes, and the Air Force's implementation of the laws pertaining to debarment. The information used in this research paper was gathered from a variety of sources including relevant case law, statutes, and other federal laws and regulations, as well as a review of the available opinions of The Judge Advocates General of the United States Armed Forces.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - As the United States military simultaneously transforms itself and engages in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), several things are clear. Technological dominance is important and does give our forces the advantage on both conventional and asymmetric battlefields. But there is more to think about in regards to technology and technological dominance. First, technology can be defeated, so there is constant pressure to improve today's technology to meet the threats of tomorrow. Second, while we can share cutting-edge technology with our allies, our competitors can often acquire similar technology through the global economy which has made the technology available to all. Thomas Friedman, in the World is Flat, epitomizes this viewpoint as he states, '.if you can do it, you must do it, otherwise your competitors will.' This availability of technology serves as a means of reducing or eliminating the advantage we hold or may have held over our competitors.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Efforts to integrate ISR capabilities across the DoD are hampered by diverse organizational cultures, independent requirements processes and different funding mechanisms. As a result, the complex acquisition process through which the DoD identifies, procures and implements advanced ISR systems is characterized by gaps in capabilities, growing competition for assets and systems that do not fully complement one another.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In response to a question about believing in God, Lieutenant General Romeo Dallaire, commander of the United Nations peace keeping force in Rwanda, known as the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda or UNAMIR, stated that he had shaken hands with the devil in Rwanda, and since he knew the devil existed, he had to believe in God.1 While most Americans simply changed the channel during news broadcasts of the savage violence that decimated Rwanda, the 2,548 members of UNAMIR and the estimated 800,000 people that were murdered during 100 days of organized killing could not. In the aftermath of this tragedy, four clear questions emerge. The first question is why the perpetrators pursued genocide as a final solution. Before answering this question, one must first understand three ingredients that set the stage for selecting genocide as a viable course of action. These include a history of ethnic conflict, devaluation of human life, and a small group that believed in the final solution.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This study focuses on the development of aerial refueling methods and procedures for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The author states the need for UAVs, lists assumptions, and gives a brief background on them. His discussion of the three current Air Force UAV systems (Predator, DarkStar, and Global Hawk) is followed by some proposed methods and procedures for rendezvous and aerial refueling of these UAV platforms. The author rounds out his discussion by comparing and analyzing both the current UAV systems and the methods of air refueling. After proposing the UAV system best suited for air refueling, the most effective type of rendezvous for this UAV system, and the best method for con-trolling the UAV during the air refueling, the author concludes with a brief review of the implications for the Air Force and airpower enthusiasts.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Worldwide proliferation of weapons of mass destruction has risen since the end of the Cold War. This escalation has brought about a new set of challenges for strategists and policy makers within the United States. No longer is the United States facing a single nuclear threat within the relative 'security' of a bipolar global arrangement. Rather, emergent nuclear states with marked political, cultural, and ideological differences with the US are on the increase. Iran is one such state. A keystone nation bridging the Middle East with the Near East, Iran is currently pushing the nuclear weapons envelope despite protestations from the global community. The Iranian nuclear problem has vast regional implications not only for the near future, but also presents long term global security issues. What's motivating Iran to make the leap into the nuclear frying pan Are the mad mullahs in charge driving Iran toward a course of global terrorism with an 'Islamic Bomb' Or, is the nuclear course within Iran a well thought out process, carefully calculated to maximize strategic leverage in order to gain and maintain regional hegemony Finally, what are the strategic implications for the United States of a nuclear armed Iran And, does the current US military strategy of detect, deter, and defend against weapons of mass destruction adequately address this threat This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Why does it seem like most of the world hates the United States (US) Why is the US fighting in Afghanistan Iraq What's the trouble with Iran North Korea Venezuela To Mr. Joe Average, the answers are either illusive or unimportant. Yet they highlight a major issue: Americans are generally ill-educated in world affairs. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and time zones seemingly compress, Americans can no longer afford this viewpoint. Enter the Air Force Cyber Command (AFCYBER). The newly created AFCYBER is responsible to secure our nation by employing world-class cyberspace capabilities to control cyberspace, create integrated global effects, and deliver sovereign options. That's fancy-talk for using and controlling all things electronic, such as radios, radar, lasers, and televisions. By assuming a public education role, AFCYBER could provide a home to the dormant governmental education responsibility. Think of it as continuing adult education on current events. The education is necessary for one major reason: to safeguard the American public will. As the most important part of the nation's power, public will supplies the strength to that power. In a world of readily available imagery and increasing computer production capability, the enemies of the US have an influential tool to shape that public will. As proof, think of how the public will suffered from the beheadings in Iraq or any Osama bin Laden video. Experienced (i.e. older) folks will remember the powerful Blackhawk Down images from Somalia. Even more experienced folks will remember the Tet Offensive from Vietnam. Indeed, the enemies of the US use their powerful perception tool to influence Americans. However, this influence can be countered. By educating Americans on world issues, the public is better able to come to their own conclusions regarding a conflict. Thus, support for long term-conflicts, like those in Iraq or Vietnam, would be resistant to exterior influence. This would resu.…

Neuware - 'Operation Desert Storm, the 1991 Gulf War, and Operation Allied Force, the 1999 Air War over Serbia, saw US and coalition Air Forces attacking enemy fielded forces at unprecedented levels. Given the real change in the nature, strategy, and conduct of air operations in the last decade, this study examines how to most efficiently employ airpower to achieve its objectives in the asymmetric attack against a fielded army. During Desert Storm, US Air Forces developed medium altitude tactics increasing survivability by over-flying the range of Iraqi AAA and MANPADS. Difficulties in attacking from medium altitude were countered with massed formations of specialized armor-killing A-10s, the development of F-16. Killer Scouts, and the F-111 and F-15E tactic of ' Tank Plinking' with laser guided bombs. During Allied Force, the challenge lay not in attacking the enemy, but in locating and identifying an army interspersed with a large number of civilian refugees. A systems approach is required to most efficiently attack a fielded army by air. The key is the integration of ISR assets through an intelligence 'flex targeting' cell and the use of terminal air controllers such as Forward Air Controllers Airborne (FACAs), along with trained strikers capable of precision attack. This approach requires a change in Joint and Air Force doctrine acknowledging the supported role that US Air Forces have performed against enemy fielded forces over the last decade. It calls for the adaptation of the tactics, techniques, and procedures necessary to ensure the USAF prepares for these kinds of operations in the future.'This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Joint Chiefs of Staff have commissioned a study through the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to investigate both the background and personality characteristics of those individuals who proliferate weapons of mass destruction. The DIA is hopeful that some particular background traits will stand out and allow them advanced warning that the potential for proliferation exists in a suspect. This study will be limited to three individuals: Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan who specializes in the proliferation of nuclear weapons, General Anatoly Kuntsevich who specializes in the proliferation of chemical weapons, and Dr. Rihab Taha who specializes in the proliferation of biological weapons. The study will provide extensive information regarding the history, education, political affiliation, and writings of each individual. The hypothesis of 'Weapons of mass destruction proliferants have common background traits' will be tested via a traditional research methodology. The personality characteristics of these individuals will be analyzed in another study.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The report investigates the controversy regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions. It provides Iran's side of the issue, as well as the US position. It reviews Iran's aggressive pursuit of nuclear technical capabilities and investigates why Iran sees itself as a sovereign nation with a legitimate right to pursue the capabilities necessary to develop peaceful nuclear power. Due to the dual-use nature of the technologies involved and the inherent capability to develop nuclear weapons, the United States is extremely concerned Iran is disguising its true intent and fully intends to develop nuclear weapons. The United States is worried that once Iran develops nuclear weapons it will use them to press its regional agenda, as well as provide them to terrorist organizations. The United States is worried a nuclear Iran will work against US national security interests, namely US regional influence, energy resource availability, and the stability of the world's energy market. The research question is, will the United States be able to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power and developing nuclear weapons The research method used is the 'problem solution' approach. The problem is the United States does not want Iran to become a nuclear power; however, Iran continues to pursue its nuclear ambitions. The report looks at several courses of action available to the United States. It investigates and analyzes economic, diplomatic, regime change, and military intervention as potential courses of action. Each course of action is described and a probable outcome is predicted. Based on the predicted outcome, the action's effectiveness is evaluated, as well as its impact on US regional influence, regional stability, energy resource availability, and the stability of the world's energy market. Using the effectiveness and impact analysis, the viability of each course of action is assessed.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The United States ensures its national security with the world's most dominant military force. Its strong economy--currently the world's largest--provides the means for this dominance. Cheap oil has fueled the American economic infrastructure for decades--principally from imports of foreign oil. The base of this infrastructure has been the transportation system which consumes over 70 percent of the country's petroleum. Designed primarily around motor vehicles, it has enabled the movement of goods and people for the optimum benefit of the economy and shaped the American way of life. Now rapid industrialization of developing nations has increased demand for oil to a point where remaining excess capacity is relatively trivial. This has resulted in rising oil prices which threaten the continuing strength of the US economy and, in turn, its ability to maintain its national security. This vulnerability demonstrates the close link between US national defense, economic strength, and energy security. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) asserts in its 2009 Energy Outlook that oil demand will rise by almost 20 percent by 2030. Oil prices will continue to rise as production is increased to meet demand, negatively impacting the United States' gross domestic product (GDP). The driving factors include the increasing costs of producing oil from existing oil fields at a constant rate and the higher costs associated with developing new oil fields. Given this scenario, action must be taken to decrease the direct effect oil has on the US economy. Only by starting now will the nation have sufficient time to overcome organizational inertia caused by naysayers and build the requisite infrastructure to make the goal of energy security through diversification both realistic and achievable. There is no single solution for solving the Energy Security dilemma in which the United States finds itself. Since it is made up of many different climate zones and has a large regional varia.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Since 9/11, our nation has had to focus its foreign policy on failing, failed, and fragile states. The U.S government has struggled not only with using the correct compliment of instruments of power with regard to stability and reconstruction operations but with also integrating them when required. The Department of State's Coordinator for Stabilization and Reconstruction was stood up in 2004 to the lead U.S. government agency in these operations. However, the struggle continues as the office has neither the authority, funding or internal capacity to effectively integrate all agencies across the government. This paper addresses the current issues with the existing construct and identifies that the Department of Defense must be able to complete tasks when the civilian capability is not able such as in a non-permissive environment. The argument is that the U.S Air Force has within its support structure, many of the skills sets required to accomplish many of the tasks required in all phases. However, the Air Force has had a myopic view of how to adapt to meet today's requirements. Therefore, this paper provides a methodical review of capabilities and the changes required to training, doctrine, education, and force structure to enable the Air Force to respond to the full spectrum of operations. Additionally, the recommendation will suggest creating a new Air Force Specialty Code in order to maintain the cultural and language nuances of a respective geographic area and build relationship with the interagency as well as other actors. Creating a new Air Force will develop and focus leaders to work collaboratively among all of the actors involved in addressing instability problems caused by F3 states.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
