Download or read book Defense at Low Force Levels: The Effect of Force to Space Ratios on Conventional Combat Dynamics written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops, tests and applies a systematic theory relating force to space ratios and conventional combat outcomes, and describes a simple PC-level computer model developed to automate the calculations associated with that theory. The paper is intended in part to illuminate policy issues relating to conventional force reductions in Europe, and the development of post Cold War strategy and force structure for the NATO Alliance. More broadly, however, it is also intended to contribute to an improved understanding of the dynamics of conventional warfare at low force levels generally-and to the development of an improved body of theory for explaining the outcomes of armed conflict at the theater level. The paper concludes that the widespread perception that there exists a minimum force to space ratio for successful defense is largely incorrect. While the force to space ratio does affect combat outcomes, and while lower force to space ratios do tend to favor attackers over defenders, this effect need not be decisive, and the relationship between force density and defense effectiveness is not independent of the size of the attacking force or the doctrine and weapons used by the two sides.

Download or read book Defense Positioning and Geometry written by Raj Gupta and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact in Europe and the end of the Cold war, many of the long-standing political and ideological obstacles to minimizing force levels have been removed. The overriding issue is no longer who commands the greatest force divisions; rather, the immediate concern is to establish a minimum threshold to which nations may reduce their force levels and still retain a meaningful defense. In this book, Raj Gupta examines the geometry and positioning of conventional forces, especially at low force levels. Defense Positioning and Geometry uncovers certain spatial relationships that the defending commander must abide by for an effective defense and shows how they can be exploited to construct stable military balances and reduce forces to minimum levels. The author considers a number of important questions that must be addressed to establish a new order of low force levels, such as: What is the absolute minimum force density necessary for a coherent and robust defense? How deep can mutual cuts go without irreparably damaging defense capability and upsetting conventional stability? How should an arms control treaty that cuts deployed forces by 50 percent or more be structured? There is an urgency to develop general, universally applicable principles that dictate how conventional forces should be optimally structured. Such principles, once defined, are certainly applicable directly on the battlefield—in the civil wars in Yugoslavia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, and in the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and the subsequent response. However, as the author demonstrates, these fundamental defense positioning rules can be employed more constructively in the task of dismantling the redundant firepower amassed by NATO, the Warsaw Pact countries, the Middle East, North and South Korea, and the China-India-Pakistan axis. The book shows how knowledge of the ideal force geometry at low force levels makes it possible to determine the arms control regimes necessary to fill any holes exposed by deep cuts.

Download or read book Emerging Technologies and International Stability written by Todd S. Sechser and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology has always played a central role in international politics; it shapes the ways states fight during wartime and compete during peacetime. Today, rapid advancements have contributed to a widespread sense that the world is again on the precipice of a new technological era. Emerging technologies have inspired much speculative commentary, but academic scholarship can improve the discussion with disciplined theory-building and rigorous empirics. This book aims to contribute to the debate by exploring the role of technology – both military and non-military – in shaping international security. Specifically, the contributors to this edited volume aim to generate new theoretical insights into the relationship between technology and strategic stability, test them with sound empirical methods, and derive their implications for the coming technological age. This book is very novel in its approach. It covers a wide range of technologies, both old and new, rather than emphasizing a single technology. Furthermore, this volume looks at how new technologies might affect the broader dynamics of the international system rather than limiting the focus to a stability. The contributions to this volume walk readers through the likely effects of emerging technologies at each phase of the conflict process. The chapters begin with competition in peacetime, move to deterrence and coercion, and then explore the dynamics of crises, the outbreak of conflict, and war escalation in an environment of emerging technologies. The chapters in this book, except for the Introduction and the Conclusion, were originally published in the Journal of Strategic Studies.
