Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The adequacy and timeliness of the dissemination of army pay and fringe benefits information to ROTC cadets and to junior ROTC officers is examined. To obtain data for this study, questionnaires were sent to college ROTC units, to army schools conducting branch basic courses, and to ROTC officers attending selected basic courses. The responses to these questionnaires provided the information necessary to determine the amount of formal instruction presented. Lesson plans were requested, and the adequacy of the instruction was determined by reviewing the lesson plans submitted. The amount of literature issued on pay and fringe benefits was also ascertained from the questionnaire. In addition to the original data obtained utilizing questionnaires, a review of the literature showed that pay and fringe benefits is an important factor in career decisions, but is not the most important factor. This review also established the importance of providing the junior officer with information that may affect his career decision very early in his military career. Existing guidance and requirements for the dissemination of pay and fringe benefits information are presented. This includes background information on the Army Information Program, the college ROTC program, and the army school system, career counseling and recruiting for ROTC are also addressed. Each individual's knowledge of pay and fringe benefits, his opinion of the relative merits of army and civilian compensation, his primary source of information on this subject, and the manner in which he would prefer to receive new information were all explored. Several conclusions were reached which relate to improvements in the existing programs for the dissemination of pay and fringe benefits information.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 Georgian government strongly follows the policy of supporting peace and stability in the country and abroad, including military participation. With a worldwide shift of battlefields from sparsely to highly populated areas, Georgian units will most probably find themselves participating in urban operations. The purpose of this study is to examine how prepared Georgian light infantry battalions are to meet the challenges of operations in urban environments. To answer this question, the thesis examines these battalions' capabilities against the most critical requirements, using the aspects of weapons, equipment, and training as a framework for discussion. The thesis identifies the need for further improvements and concludes with respective recommendations.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 - Economic development is not the primary field of expertise of the military. However, sustainable growth and security are interrelated and interdependent. Without sustainable economic growth, stability will be hard to achieve. Although the traditional assumption is that security should precede development, the central theme in this thesis is that economic development and the development of capacity for a banking system should start as soon as possible. This thesis therefore examined two case studies in Kosovo and Afghanistan to determine whether there is a viable role the military can play in re-establishing a banking system in a country undergoing stabilization and reconstruction. Both situations, as well as historical cases, shows that the role of the military is limited to providing logistical or security support for key infrastructure and personnel. The study also demonstrates that the military should be empowered with financial knowledge that is needed to assess the situation, shape the development of the banking system and synchronize military efforts with activities of other financial and development-focused organizations.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 - Major Schmidt analyzes the evolution of targeting organizations to identify their strengths and evaluate their impact on future organizations. He discusses both strategic and tactical targeting with primary emphasis on strategic targeting. Because Desert Shield/Desert Storm revealed that centralized targeting of a conventional war from the United States could also work well, Major Schmidt proposes creation of a centralized targeting organization. He indicates that a centralized strategic-targeting agency could ensure ready access to strategic target lists, thus allowing the United States to strike at the heart of the enemy at a moment's notice.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.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. 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 - Air Force intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) is undergoing a tremendous transition-as a growing core competency and an operational entity in its own right. This paper draws on well-established close air support doctrine and organizational models to build new ISR organizational and execution constructs to bridge the gap between theater-level ISR assets and tactical operations. These models bind ISR asset, exploiter, CAOC, and the supported unit together through face-to-face interactions and standardized processes that apply across any theater of operations or combatant command.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 twentieth century's first decades were a time of enormous technological achievement that had profound influences on the modern battlefield. The invention of the airplane and its subsequent adaptation for military use inarguably changed the face of twentieth-century warfare. It was during this dynamic period that America's earliest Airmen began to articulate ideas on how airpower might best be used and what its presence might mean to the future conduct of war. These thoughts represented the barest beginnings of an airminded culture in the US military. In addition to defining what American soldiers knew and believed about aviation, this culture eventually founded the professional impetus for a separate air arm. Thus, a study of the ideas put forth by these first Airmen is an important historical endeavor, lending a more complete understanding of the development of American airpower. This paper relies primarily on articles that appeared in contemporary professional journals and popular periodicals. Airmen laid out a collective argument from which emerge several identifiable themes-crude tenets about the application of airpower as a weapon of war. Conclusions posit these themes as the reflection of a coherent air-minded perspective and discuss their historical relevance as a benchmark for later efforts to further develop American airpower. Secondary support comes from extant historical monographs that provide an account of military aviation's early development.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 - Nigeria is an oil-rich but staggering democracy that has become increasingly important to U.S. strategic interests. The U.S. imports more than 10% of its oil from Nigeria, which holds critical reserves of oil and natural gas. Nigeria is a key partner in the struggle with Islamic extremism in the Sahel region and shares common interest with the U.S. in achieving security in the Gulf of Guinea to secure foreign trade and investment opportunities in Africa. However, Nigeria's persistent internal trends had a negative impact on its development and could even set ablaze the whole area in the near future if not dealt with properly. . this paper contends that U.S. Special Forces can help achieve the strategic goal of helping Nigeria become a stable regional power in Western Africa. It identifies the critical factors that characterize the environment in which SOF will have to operate in Nigeria, and explains why U.S. SOF is well suited for this job. It recommends four lines of operations that directly address Nigeria's critical issues.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 - Warfare is an ever evolving mixture of combinations: attack and defense, symmetry and asymmetry, maneuver and firepower, mass and economy of force, etc. True operational art manifests itself when the right balance of these combinations is applied to war fighting. This paper analyzes one such combination; ground maneuver and air interdiction. Indeed, this is a treatise on the synchronization of land power and air power, and how these two vital elements can better contribute to a successful operational campaign. The fundamental thesis is that the Joint Force Commander (JFC) must do more than merely balance this combination as separate entities, he must employ them as coequals in mutually complementary operations.The synergistic relationship between ground maneuver and air interdiction is explored and supporting historical precedents discussed. Next, Army, Air Force and joint doctrine is analyzed to determine the prevailing views on the subject. Finally, the author makes recommendations which enhance the orchestration of ground maneuver and air interdiction in achieving the JFC's objectives.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 elucidates lessons of trust learned through the study of historical command relationships between soldier and airman. The purpose of this monograph is to highlight the need to apply the lessons learned from these case studies in today's operating environment. To accomplish this purpose, the work examines three historical case studies: Generals Bradley and Quesada in WWII, Generals Schwarzkopf and Horner in Operation Desert Storm, and Generals Clark and Short in Operation Allied Force. By illustrating differing airpower conceptualizations in these case studies, this monograph examines efforts to establish solid relationships built on trust and competence needed to overcome these conceptual differences to accomplish the mission. Beginning with a review of early airpower theory and concepts, the first case study examines both sides of competing airpower concepts as well as the individual officers' thoughts on the employment of airpower. The chapter then highlights the existing command structure these officers operated within, specifically noting the command arrangements in place and where each officer stood in this chain of command in relation to his counterpart. The second case study begins with a brief glimpse into the importance and evolution of AirLand Battle doctrine, focusing on its impact on airpower conceptualization. The chapter then examines the trust General Schwarzkopf had for General Horner, and how Horner fostered that trust through competence. The last relationship examined is an example of a lack of trust between airman and soldier, and the impact it had on future airpower conceptualization. The final chapter begins by indentifying the contextual differences in today's operating environment and then highlights command and control nodes where the airman and soldier interact. The monograph then elucidates conclusions drawn from studying the selected command relationships.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Abu Ghraib prison incident was highly publicized and controversial when the story first broke in April 2004. Now the story has all but disappeared, however the subject remains controversial to this day. The subject of torture and United States policy with regard to its detainees is prominent in the news today, four years later. Abu Ghraib was ground zero and is what sparked debate and controversy on torture and U.S. policy that continues today. This paper aims to prove the Abu Ghraib prison incident directly impacted the U.S. Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) strategy. Specifically with regard to the treatment of Prisoners of War (POW) and the projection of American values to the rest of the world including potential adversaries. To accomplish this, GWOT, torture and American policy is defined both before and then after the Abu Ghraib incident. Some background is provided on Abu Ghraib as well. Government documents and laws are examined, expert opinion is examined and government officials' statements on the subject are examined in order show how the Abu Ghraib incident helped shape GWOT strategy today. I recommend Congress ensure that United States Policy and the actions of the United States reflect the will and values of the people of this great nation. I also recommend America starts earning back its credibility and diplomatic currency on American terms, not terms created by terrorists which cause us to compromise American values.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 paper addresses the subject of diversity. The changing demographics in America projects by the year 2000, almost two-thirds of new entrants into the workforce will be women, and 29 percent will be non-white. The key to successful leadership will be an understanding and awareness of diversity in the organization. The purpose of this research is to provide a consolidated source of educational references on diversity. Although this project is narrow in scope and breadth it serves as a point of departure for those attempting to improve their understanding and awareness of the leadership challenges of diversity.Diversity was initially defined as: the different or dissimilar attitudes, values, and way of life between people based on race, religion, color, national origin, economic status, and gender. This definition paved the evolution of diversity around five approaches: (1) the golden rule, (2) assimilation, (3) righting the wrong, (4) culture specific approach, and (5) the multicultural.The prevailing idea on diversity broadens the scope and defines diversity as any mixture of items characterized by differences and similarities. The key here is the inclusion of similarities and synergy created between differences and similarities to achieve an effective workforce reflective of the America society. To assist leaders and mangers in the 'diversity challenge,' several tools are available. Two such tools are the diversity management process and the diversity paradigm options for action.In conclusion, diversity has made significant improvements in the lives of the American workforce. Although more work lies ahead, diversity's impact on the workforce will continue to evolve with the changing values of our society.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 purpose of this paper is to recommend a method to implement RETO. This method entails an Army managed, contractor assisted, application of Instructional System Development concepts and principles to solve the problem of curriculum management. The paper includes a detailed Statement of Work which specifies the contractor deliverable items by phase. The Statement of Work is a stand-alone document which can be extracted from this paper and used as necessary by Army program managers. The paper recommends contractor assistance rather than an in-house effort because: (1) While the necessary array of resources required by this effort exists within the Army, it is doubtful that the Army could or would commit those resources to this system in the required quantity and quality at the right time; (2) A contractor provides continuity, flexibility, and credibility; (3) Since certain system components are purchased, there is a reduced likelihood that the system would be subverted through whimsical decisions, intuition, or trial and error.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 - U.S. Army direct and organizational level leaders faced challenges in Operation ENDURING FREEDOM and Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, which combined to create an environment permeated by ambiguity and replete with uncertainty. Although it may be impossible to predict future operational environments, it is likely that adversaries will continue to apply asymmetric warfare against the U.S. to attenuate her superiority in conventional warfare. The purpose of this monograph is to determine whether U.S. Army direct and organizational level leaders are equipped with the competency to adapt successfully in asymmetric environments. Doctrine cannot prognosticate the exact nature and form of asymmetric conflict, but it can forecast traits and conceptual knowledge required for leaders to maintain the initiative and dictate the terms of the operation. Emerging leadership doctrine should include adaptability as a competency consisting of five components. These components are: maintain situational awareness, know yourself and the adversary, take intelligent risks, exercise mental agility and demonstrate strength of character. Furthermore, the definition of adaptive leadership requires revision. This research posited a working definition: the capacity to recognize and respond to changing situations and variable circumstances within the operational environment and to proactively take steps to maintain the initiative and dictate the terms of the operation.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 - A strategy for the decontamination of large areas and or equipment contaminated with Biological Warfare Agents (BWAs) and Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) was demonstrated using a High Energy Arc Lamp (HEAL) photolysis system. This strategy offers an alternative that is potentially quicker, less hazardous, generates far less waste, and is easier to deploy than those currently fielded by the Department of Defense (DoD). For example, for large frame aircraft the United States Air Force still relies on the combination of weathering (stand alone in environment), air washing (fly aircraft) and finally washing the aircraft with Hot Soapy Water (HSW) in an attempt to remove any remaining contamination. This method is laborious, time consuming (upwards of 12+ hours not including decontamination site preparation), and requires large amounts of water (e.g., 1,600+ gallons for a single large frame aircraft), and generates large amounts of hazardous waste requiring disposal. The efficacy of the HEAL system was demonstrated using diisopropyl methyl phosphonate (DIMP) a G series CWA simulant, and Bacillus globigii (BG) a simulant of Bacillus anthracis. Experiments were designed to simulate the energy flux of a field deployable lamp system that could stand-off 17 meters from a 12m2 target area and uniformly expose a surface at 1360 W/m2. The HEAL system in the absence of a catalyst reduced the amount of B. globigii by five orders of magnitude at a starting concentration of 1.63 x 107 spores. In the case of CWA simulants, the HEAL system in the presence of the catalyst TiO2 effectively degraded DIMP sprayed onto a 100mm diameter Petri dish in 5 minutes.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.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The National Guard has a more viable role now then ever seen before. Is the National Guard ready for the next call up Is Active Component / Reserve Component (AC/RC) enhanced Support Battalion (eSBn) concept effective in training a priority National Guard unit for activation Additionally, how well does the National Guard priority unit compare to a non-priority unit And furthermore, to an active duty unit In Aug of 1990, The 48th Infantry Brigade was alerted for possible activation to round out the 24th Infantry Division during the deployment to operation Desert Shield. By November of 1990, the brigade was placed on active duty. Before the 48th Brigade could deploy to southwest Asia (SWA), they first had to complete a Brigade level training exercise at Ft Irwin, California to validate their combat readiness. After almost 90 days of intensive training, the Brigade was not certified for the mission. Based on Desert Shield and Storm, the Senate Armed Services enacted Title XI in 1992. This title states that active headquarters of round-out units would take a vested interest in National Guard priority unit-training programs. In 1996, the enhanced Separate Brigades (eSB) replaced the round out unit concept. The new eSB concept identified fifteen (15) priority combat brigades within the National Guard. As a result of the Gulf War, Currently over 5000 active duty soldiers serve as coaches, trainers, and mentor to Army National Guard and Reserve units. This research identifies three specific areas. First, it addresses training concepts used by the Army and corporate America. These concepts assist in training effectiveness. Second, it compares a non-priority unit, a priority unit, and an active duty unit's gunnery qualification data. Finally, it compares, contrasts, and analyzes active duty and priority units in the Combat Training Center (CTC) environment. The research found that National Guard priority unit performed better then the non-priority unit and was very close.…

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.
