Book Synopsis Technology and the Military Reform Debate by : Kevin Neil Lewis
Download or read book Technology and the Military Reform Debate written by Kevin Neil Lewis and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most military experts agree that the development of new technology must be encouraged in the interest of national security. Some of the most important determinants of design success--the effects of political pressures on weapons programs. Chief among them--are not discussed. Nonetheless, the US can improve its ability to get the most from its military technologies. If we can conduct productive debates on operational concepts and doctrine, keep operational tradeoffs in mind, and introduce more flexibility and competition into our system acquisition planning process, we can expect slightly better decisions about what technologies are appropriate for a particular weapon and when to incorporate them. Project examples are cited.
Book Synopsis Defense Reform and Technology by : Serge Herzog
Download or read book Defense Reform and Technology written by Serge Herzog and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1994-05-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To capture the defense reform debate surrounding the proper application of high technology in military systems, this study focuses on tactical aircraft, an area epitomizing cutting-edge technology. Air combat history is revisited (including the 1991 Persian Gulf War) to confirm, reject, or qualify positions advocating certain technologies in tactical aviation. Emphasis is placed on enduring combat ideas and aircraft design principles. The interaction between mission requirements, inventory composition, and aircraft design is discussed to illustrate the dynamics of constrained choice that enters acquisition decisions. The relevance of reform arguments in the post-Cold War era is assessed, including the impact of political and economic constraints on future force-mix options, the shift from NATO-centered contingencies to Third World Low Intensity Conflict (LIC), and the threat of conventional arms proliferation.

Download or read book Military reform written by Walter Kross and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author identifies the two sharply opposing schools of thought about how best to organize, equip, and train our military forces. 'Military reformers' and 'defense planners' clash on the strategy for and the use of high-technology weapons systems. The author's focus on the debate over tactical air forces and missions defines and illustrates the broader, more consequential issue of weapon system sophistication. In concrete point-counterpoint fashion, he objectively lays out the successes and failures, strengths and weaknesses of each side's argument.
Book Synopsis Defense Policymaking by : Michael A. Hall
Download or read book Defense Policymaking written by Michael A. Hall and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the ability of the President, Congress and Armed Services to formulate and implement defense policy that eliminates duplication and inefficiencies within service roles and missions. The hypothesis examined is that the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the four military Services will be unable to formulate any significant changes in their own roles and missions because there is a dichotomy between what the Services see as significant change (read structure) and what Congress sees as significant change (read budget). The Services inability to make change will force Congress to take the lead in the defense reform effort. However, congressional efforts to formulate and implement defense policy will prove imperfect again, unless Congress can first reform itself. Secretary Defense Les Aspin has the best opportunity to formulate and implement defense policy for a post-Cold War environment. This thesis begins with a brief overview on the origins of the present day roles and missions debate, and is followed by an examination of the Goldwater-Nichols Act that provides insight as to how legislators might work with or against the President and Services in reallocating service roles and missions. The current debate over service roles and missions is examined along with constraints and implications of defense policymaking. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Congress, Service Roles Missions and Functions, Defense Policymaking, Executive Branch, Post-Cold War, Defense Reform, National Security Act of 1947, The 1948 Key West Agreement, Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986.
Book Synopsis Post-Cold War Defense Reform by : István Gyarmati
Download or read book Post-Cold War Defense Reform written by István Gyarmati and published by Potomac Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the landslide political changes in Europe in the early 1990s, politicians and military planners started to contemplate the possible effects on military postures. Most countries, however, did not enforce plans for post-Cold War reform because they lacked political will and money, their conservative militaries resisted, and they felt no real pressure from any clear and present threat. September 11 was seen in many cases as a loud wake-up call, but nonetheless it did not elicit a clear response. Even in the United States, where calls for defense reform were the strongest, real defense reform seems to be another casualty of the terrorist attacks. Fortunately, debates have begun about the future of military forces, the "revolution in military affairs," and the plans for NATO and European security and defense cooperation. Whether these initial discussions will lead to real strategic thinking, to threat analysis, and finally to a meaningful strategic review is uncertain. This publication serves as a timely contribution to the debate on determining which lessons have, and have not, been learned while suggesting possible courses for the way ahead.

Book Synopsis Chinese Military Reform in the Age of Xi Jinping: Drivers, Challenges, and Implications by : Joel Wuthnow
Download or read book Chinese Military Reform in the Age of Xi Jinping: Drivers, Challenges, and Implications written by Joel Wuthnow and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) has embarked on its most wide-ranging and ambitious restructuring since 1949, including major changes to most of its key organizations. The restructuring reflects the desire to strengthen PLA joint operation capabilities- on land, sea, in the air, and in the space and cyber domains. The reforms could result in a more adept joint warfighting force, though the PLA will continue to face a number of key hurdles to effective joint operations, Several potential actions would indicate that the PLA is overcoming obstacles to a stronger joint operations capability. The reforms are also intended to increase Chairman Xi Jinping's control over the PLA and to reinvigorate Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organs within the military. Xi Jinping's ability to push through reforms indicates that he has more authority over the PLA than his recent predecessors. The restructuring could create new opportunities for U.S.-China military contacts.
