Book excerpt: This volume presents a selection of papers from the 13th International Conference on Military Geosciences (ICMG), held 24-28 June 2019 in Padua, Italy. It covers a wide range of subjects within the confines of military geoscience written by scientists with a variety of different backgrounds from many countries throughout the world. Many of the papers focus on subjects related to Italy and World War I, but additional subject areas include international perspectives in the military geosciences, international security, geospatial intelligence and remote sensing, subterranean and underground warfare, analyses of historical battlefields and fortifications, and military archaeology. The book will be of interest to academics (e.g., military historians, military archaeologists, military geographers and geologists), applied geoscientists (e.g., engineering geologists and geologists working in other areas of applied geology), professional geoscientists, and those with a general interest in military geoscience and history.
Book Synopsis Military Geosciences and Desert Warfare by : Eric V. McDonald
Download or read book Military Geosciences and Desert Warfare written by Eric V. McDonald and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-10 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of papers presented at the 9th International Conference of Military Geoscience that was held in 2011. The conference included discussion on a diverse range of geosciences, including military history, military geology, teaching geology from a military prospective, geological influence on the battlefield, and environmental and cultural issues related to management of military lands. Geology and geography have played a significant role in military history, from providing the stone for primitive tools and weapons, to the utilization of terrain in offensive and defensive strategies. Specific to this volume, deserts comprise nearly a third of the Earth’s surface and have been the site of numerous battles where the dust, heat, and a lack of food and water have provided challenges to military leaders and warriors. This book examines the role of deserts in past and modern warfare, the problems and challenges in managing military lands in desert regions, and how desert environmental conditions can impact military equipment and personnel. This proceedings volume should be of interest to scholars, professionals, and those interested in military history, warfare, geology, geography, cultural resources, general science, and military operations.

Book Synopsis International Law of Underwater Cultural Heritage by : Kim Browne
Download or read book International Law of Underwater Cultural Heritage written by Kim Browne and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together three distinct areas of International Law – namely Environmental, Heritage and Ocean Law – to address the international legal protection of historically significant wrecks, with particular focus on the environmental hazards they may pose. The confluence of Heritage Law and the Law of the Sea with International Environmental Law represents an important development in international governance strategies for the twenty-first century, in particular those legal and administrative regimes that concern the world’s oceans and underwater cultural heritage protection. Importantly, connections between international legal regimes, such as the 1982 Law of the Sea, and institutions like the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and United Nations Education Scientific Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), can play a crucial part in governance strategies that involve the regulation of marine pollution and historic shipwrecks.

Book Synopsis The Scope of Military Geography by : Eugene Joseph Palka
Download or read book The Scope of Military Geography written by Eugene Joseph Palka and published by McGraw-Hill Primis Custom Pub. This book was released on 2000 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a fresh approach to the study of Military Geography! Palka and Galgano truly understand the impact of geographic information on the conduct of military operations! Moreover, they clearly appreciate the changing nature of conflict and as a result have addressed the effect of geographic conditions across the full spectrum of military operations. From peacekeeping to small scale contingencies to all out war, they precisely address the range of geographic challenges encountered by military commanders in the past and the anticipated challenges of the future. The vignettes address key issues that the military leader must understand to make timely and accurate decisions. Overall, this book is essential reading for the military leader and a must add to his professional library. Although this is a great military book, the geographic community and public in general would most certainly enjoy looking at classic military operations through a geographic lens. Additionally, all will benefit from the information presented as the traditional lines between peace and war continue to blur.

Download or read book The Future of American Landpower written by Strategic Studies Strategic Studies Institute and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time has come for a reappraisal of the U.S. Army's forward presence in East Asia, given the significantly changed strategic context and the extraordinarily high, recurring costs of deploying U.S. Army forces from the 50 states for increasingly important security cooperation activities across the Indo-Asia-Pacific theater. For economic, political, diplomatic, and military reasons, the Indo-Asia-Pacific theater continues to grow in importance to the United States. As part of a broad, interagency, multifaceted approach, the U.S. military plays a critical role in the rebalancing effort now underway. The U.S. Army in particular has a special role to play in bolstering the defense of allies and the deterrence of aggression, promoting regional security and stability, and ameliorating the growing U.S.-China security dilemma. In particular, military security cooperation programs are becoming increasingly important for achieving U.S. security goals. These military-to-military programs and activities are designed to shape the security environment; prevent conflict through deterrence, assurance, and transparency; and build operational and tactical interoperability. As wartime requirements decrease in the coming year following the end of extensive American involvement in Afghanistan and as the U.S. military undergoes a dramatic yet historically typical post-war drawdown, security cooperation activities will comprise the primary way in which a leaner U.S. military contributes to broad American national security objectives in the next decade.

Book Synopsis Australian Contributions to Strategic and Military Geography by : Stuart Pearson
Download or read book Australian Contributions to Strategic and Military Geography written by Stuart Pearson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from military geography’s spatial roots, its embrace of dynamic systems, and integration of human and biophysical environments, this book helps in understanding the value of analyzing patterns, processes and systems, and cross-scale and multi-disciplinary ways of acting in a complex world, while making the case for a resurgence of strategic and military geography in Australia. Here, leading experts demonstrate that geography retains its relevance in clarifying the scale and dynamics of defense activities in assessments of the international, regional, national, and site impacts of changes in physical, cyber and human geographies. The cases presented show Australia contributing to a growing strategic and military geography.

Book Synopsis Special Operations and Strategy by : James Kiras
Download or read book Special Operations and Strategy written by James Kiras and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2006 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special Forces have always been misused and misunderstood; they are surrounded by myth and misconceptions. This new book gives the reader a uniquely clear insight into their place in modern conflict. It shows how a number of different special operations, in conjunction with more conventional military actions, achieve and sustain strategic effect(s) over time. In particular, it argues that the root of effective special operations lies in understanding the relationship existing between moral and material attrition at the strategic level. This detailed examination delivers: a fascinating account of the Special Air Service (SAS); the only theoretical framework for understanding how special operations achieve strategic effects; a unique synthesis of strategic theory and case studies; key case studies, highly relevant to contemporary issues; and a clearly written analysis, free from excessive academic terminology. This study shows how the key to understanding how special operations resides in the concept of strategic attrition and in the moral and material nature of strategy. and Mao Zedong, who understood these complexities and were experts in eroding an enemy's will to fight. These and other examples provide a superb explanation of the complexities of modern strategy and the place of special operations in a war of attrition. This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of strategic studies and all readers with an interest in Special Forces.
Book Synopsis Two Historians in Technology and War by : Sir Michael Howard
Download or read book Two Historians in Technology and War written by Sir Michael Howard and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-27 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 1994, the Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute held its annual Strategy Conference. The theme for this year's conference was "The Revolution in Military Affairs: Defining an Army for the 21st Century." Sir Michael and Professor Guilmartin are historians who have experienced warfare; indeed, have distinguished themselves in combat. Sir Michael Howard served in the Coldstream Guards in Italy in the Second World War. Dr. Guilmartin served two tours as a U.S. Air Force rescue helicopter pilot in Vietnam. Their personal experience with warfare is expressed eloquently in the following pages as they make the point that war is, as Carl von Clausewitz defined it nearly 200 years ago, a distinctly human endeavor. Because the Revolution in Military Affairs makes warfare all the more complex and changeable, one would be well advised to heed another of Clausewitz's admonitions, "The use of force is in no way incompatible with the simultaneous use of the intellect."
