Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the toughest challenges an operational-level commander has to face is fighting as the leader of a coalition. Political issues and interoperability problems in the operational functions (intelligence, movement and maneuver, fires, logistics, command and control, and protection) create impediments to effective coordination and communication within the coalition. The coalition area that is impacted the most is ground warfighting. Combatant commanders faced with conducting operations under the umbrella of a coalition need to drive the joint community toward improvements in US/coalition interoperability, common doctrine and procedures, and more effective ground operations. Analyzing past problems in the operational functions and developing solutions to them will help future coalition commanders tackle the complex challenges of coalition warfighting. Providing the combatant commanders with operational-level recommendations is part of the way ahead for improving US/coalition operations in the twenty-first century. The most important step is following through on these recommendations at both the operational and strategic levels.

Book excerpt: This paper analyzes U.S. special operations at the operational-level. The role of the Joint Special Operations Task Force (JSOTF) is the focus. As envisioned by the authors of the Cohen-Nunn Amendment to the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1987, U.S. SOF were placed under one command, the U.S. Special Operations Command. Ten years later, the intent of the Cohen-Nunn Amendment (to ensure the readiness of this nation's special operations capability) has been achieved. Yet, the institutional separation between conventional forces and SOF creates a void in the knowledge of special operations at the operational-level. Despite the efforts and successes of the theater Special Operations Commands (SOC), this lack of knowledge risks misuse or under use of SOF in an environment where SOF possess a comparative advantage: coalition operations. Using recent coalition operations as illustrative case studies, the author details SOF's history, their comparative advantage in coalition operations, and the unique characteristics of the JSOTF. It is the author's intent to improve the level of understanding of future conventional force commanders and staff involved in the planning and execution of coalition operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligence support in a coalition environment is broken. Using a case study method of intelligence support during the Vietnam War, Bosnia intervention and most recently during OIF the theme that US operational intelligence support to our coalition partners is not adequate is explained through a lack of: proper doctrine, SOPs and memorandums, lack of production of intelligence products at a releasable level, and non existent communications architecture to our coalition partners.
Book Synopsis Problems and Solutions in Future Coalition Operations by : Thomas J. Marshall
Download or read book Problems and Solutions in Future Coalition Operations written by Thomas J. Marshall and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, the United States Army, Europe (USAREUR) undertakes a conference-study program on a matter of strategic significance, with several objectives. The topic relates to USAREUR's mission; anticipates future requirements; contributes toward building democratic norms within the militaries of emerging democracies; and serves to inform the USAREUR staff, higher headquarters and other U.S. Government agencies of active measures to improve current practices. In 1996, USAREUR undertook to study "Problems and Solutions in Future Coalition Operations." That topic was germane not only because of the U.S. Government's participation in several current coalitions, but also because USAREUR will continue to be in the vanguard, participating in a wide variety of multinational operations. While coalitions may be a way of life for most militaries, changes in the geostrategic environment over the past several years have created new challenges and opport- unities for U.S. participation. Protecting the Kurds in Iraq after the Gulf War, supporting humanitarian relief operations in Rwanda, deploying a preventive diplomacy force to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to guard against a spillover of the Balkan conflict, and providing forces to support the implementation of the Dayton Accords for Bosnia have tested the United States' ability to work with new partners, in support of new missions, in unfamiliar parts of the world. There are important similarities and differences between these new coalition operations, and large military operations and bygone NATO plans for operations in Europe against the Warsaw Pact. In fact, some of the former Warsaw Pact states are now partners in coalitions with the United States Other countries from Africa and Asia Minor have participated as well.

This book was released on 2007-07-03 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ongoing operations and emerging mission requirements place a heavy burden on Army resources, resulting in capability gaps that the Army is unable to fill by itself. One solution is to build the appropriate capabilities in allies and partner armies through focused security cooperation. To do this, Army planners need a more comprehensive understanding of the capability gaps and a process for matching those gaps with candidate partner armies.

Book Synopsis Operationalizing Coalitions of the Future by :
Download or read book Operationalizing Coalitions of the Future written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specific operational staff structures, procedures, and plans must be developed in order to address the issue of military cooperation amongst a coalition's members. Many trends in the future of warfighting have been identified and discussed but few are as fundamental as the trend towards multinational operations. In responding to future crises the military will be required to cooperate at the operational level with other nations in order to provide international legitimacy for military actions. This quest for international legitimacy will require military planners to develop operational options that allow all coalition members to effectively participate. Simply dividing the area of operations into different sectors for each coalition member is not enough. To truly achieve the potential synergistic effects of a coalition it will be necessary to alter staff organizations and procedures in order to harmonize the utilization of each coalition member's capabilities. The capabilities that the various nations offer to a coalition will be varied and disparate. One cooperating nation may be able to provide forces that can conduct ground operations but lacks logistical sustainment capability and a means of strategic projection. Another might only be able to provide maritime forces but lacks the means to sustain them. Another nation might be willing to provide extremely capable forces but chooses for political reasons to limit the actions in which they can participate. The question of how these disparate forces and capabilities are brought together to conduct cohesive military operations is currently left to the operational military headquarters. This additional responsibility has required operational staffs to create international cooperation structures that normally find ad hoc measures to achieve integration.
Book Synopsis The Concept of Military Objectives in International Law and Targeting Practice by : Agnieszka Jachec-Neale
Download or read book The Concept of Military Objectives in International Law and Targeting Practice written by Agnieszka Jachec-Neale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept that certain objects and persons may be legitimately attacked during armed conflicts has been well recognised and developed through the history of warfare. This book explores the relationship between international law and targeting practice in determining whether an object is a lawful military target. By examining both the interpretation and its post-ratification application this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the definition of military objective adopted in 1977 Additional Protocol I to the four 1949 Geneva Conventions and its use in practice. Tackling topical issues such as the targeting of TV and radio stations or cyber targets, Agnieszka Jachec-Neale analyses the concept of military objective within the context of both modern military doctrine and the major coalition operations which have been undertaken since it was formally defined. This monograph will be of great interest to students and scholars of international law and the law of armed conflict, as well as security studies and international relations.
Book Synopsis Leaders for Tomorrow: Challenges for Military Leadership in the Age of Asymmetric Warfare by : Marina Nuciari
Download or read book Leaders for Tomorrow: Challenges for Military Leadership in the Age of Asymmetric Warfare written by Marina Nuciari and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-09 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of bipolarism, the concept of asymmetric warfare, and of asymmetric conflict in general, has been increasingly applied with regard to armed forces activities and tasks. This book presents the findings of comparative empirical research conducted in selected military units by a group of distinguished experts on military organization, who hail from the eight participating countries: Bulgaria, Cameroon, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Lithuania, the Philippines and Spain. It discusses remarks made by military leaders with extensive experience in the field regarding current doctrines on military leadership and their applicability in the field, as well as proposals and suggestions for new directions. “It is a complex relation, always based on respect and politeness, but often with mismatched interests.” (Army Colonel). “It makes you realize that there is a cultural gap. You must firstly understand who you are going to relate to, and the culture of these people, and then try to establish a certain kind of relationship. Often the platoon commander states his objective and must try to establish a relationship, contact with the village chief.” (Army Lieutenant, Platoon Commander). “[In Afghanistan] We had meals with the locals, sometimes the food didn’t taste good, but you had to eat it if you wanted to be welcomed back again” (Army Captain, Company Commander). These are just some of the many voices stemming from the ground in diverse international asymmetric conflict theatres (in Iraq, in Kosovo, in Afghanistan...), comments by military officers, commanders at different hierarchical levels, asked to reflect on their experiences as military leaders in crisis response operations. Military professionals, and military leaders in particular, perceive themselves as facing ambiguous situations that require an update in their professional training, and new skills to confront unexpected and unpredictable factors. Drawing on lived experiences, the book offers insights into what a new kind of leadership means when leaders have to cope with diverse and unclear missions. It also addresses leadership styles and behaviours, as well as individual adaptive behaviours on the part of military leaders, with special reference to middle and middle-high level ranks, such as captains, majors and colonels. Given its scope, the book will appeal not only to military professionals and military affairs scholars and experts, but also to readers interested in gaining a better understanding of the challenges that international expeditionary units are facing in crisis areas around the globe.
Book Synopsis Improving Army Planning for Future Multinational Coalition Operations by :
Download or read book Improving Army Planning for Future Multinational Coalition Operations written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army Vision recognizes explicitly that in future operations, Army forces will perform missions as part of a larger joint-combined- multinational force. Given the importance that Army doctrine places on coalition operations, and the capability gap between the U.S. Army and even the most sophisticated partner ground forces, it will be critical to take steps to increase multinational force compatibility (MFC) before any deployment. Preparing for such a future is one aspect of the Army's Title 10 functions, and it entails finding ways to enhance the long-term compatibility of its units with units of the most important and most likely coalition partners. The Army's international activities (IA), most of which enhance MFC, are the main vehicle for meeting this goal. This study's principal purpose is to help improve the Army's planning of its IA activities, in order to enhance the performance of ground forces in coalition operations across the spectrum of missions. This entails two key steps: (1) improve the organizational mechanisms to monitor and administer Army international activities, and (2) devise a long-term MFC plan.
Book Synopsis Coalition Warfare by : Mark J. Thornhill
Download or read book Coalition Warfare written by Mark J. Thornhill and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War there has been an increased willingness for countries to engage in coalition operations for peacekeeping, peace enforcement and resolving regional conflict. Coalition operations have increasingly become the primary focus of military activity and consequently nations have displayed an increased willingness to join coalitions of the willing on an ad hoc basis as a means of delivering their foreign and security policy. Since Vietnam, the American elite has been increasingly aware of the dangers of going it alone in military affairs and the legitimacy of its military operations overseas has become more dependent on persuading other states to join the U.S. as coalition partners. Indeed, for the U.S. coalition warfare is increasingly seen as the future of war. Coalition objectives will often be more focused on political than military objectives. The very existence of the coalition may become the imperative. This monograph highlights that effective senior military leadership in coalition operations demands a range of leadership skills that differ from those required when operating within a unilateral military environment where the commander is working to a unified civilian and military leadership. This examination of coalition operations and the attributes required by a successful senior coalition commander will be extremely valuable for future commanders as they prepare to operate in a multinational or coalition environment. In order to determine the leadership attributes of the successful coalition commander at the strategic and operational levels this monograph analyzes coalition operations. A definition of coalition operations is provided and a comparison is made between coalitions and alliances. The monograph determines the characteristics of coalition operations, looking specifically at the political and military nature of these operations. This monograph shows that coalition commanders face a series of challenges that are wide ranging in nature. This monograph determines that leading a coalition operation successfully demands a range of skills that are more consultative than they are direct in their approach. The effective commander will listen attentively to his coalition partners and will have a keen appreciation of their military capabilities as well as an understanding of their domestic political interests and motivations for being in the coalition. The capable coalition commander will be able to make decisions based on judgments about a wide range of competing priorities, not only those concerning his own nation, but also from those of the contributing nations. He will determine clear objectives that are in line with the political intent of the various nations within the coalition, and will ensure these are well understood by all participants. When necessary he will accept a degree of compromise to achieve the objective, but will ensure he does not compromise on the objective to achieve the victory. The effective commander will maintain a sharp focus on the central aim of the coalition and will work tirelessly to ensure the cohesion of the coalition is preserved.
Book Synopsis Network Centric Warfare and Coalition Operations by : Paul T. Mitchell
Download or read book Network Centric Warfare and Coalition Operations written by Paul T. Mitchell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-02-05 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that Network Centric Warfare (NCW) influences how developed militaries operate in the same fashion that an operating system influences the development of computer software. It examines three inter-related issues: the overwhelming military power of the United States; the growing influence of NCW on military thinking; and the centrality of coalition operations in modern military endeavours. Irrespective of terrorist threats and local insurgencies, the present international structure is remarkably stable - none of the major powers seeks to alter the system from its present liberal character, as demonstrated by the lack of a military response to US military primacy. This primacy privileges the American military doctrine and thus the importance of NCW, which promises a future of rapid, precise, and highly efficient operations, but also a future predicated on the ‘digitization’ of the battle space. Participation in future American-led military endeavours will require coalition partners to be networked: ‘interoperability’ will therefore be a key consideration of a partner’s strategic worth. Network Centric Warfare and Coalition Operations will be of great interest to students of strategic studies, international security, US foreign policy and international relations in general.
