Book excerpt: This monograph examines whether the current focus of Classroom XXI provides the adequate advanced military education necessary to prepare company and field grade leaders for the future battlefield. Technology has become the driving factor as the Army enters into the twenty-first century. In line with this focus, the Army has taken a more scientific approach to military education and training while neglecting the human dimension of combat. Technology, and digitization in particular, are an important factor in the composition of tomorrow's force, but it cannot be the sole nor even the central element controlling the education and training in line with the Force XXI initiative. This monograph first explains the connectivity of Classroom XXI, the institutional classroom education and training, to the Force XXI initiative and the impact on the force. Secondly, this paper discusses the present course of the Warrior XXI and Classroom XXI initiatives, the goals and objectives and desired endstate for the force. This portion is a brief description of TRADOC's campaign plan to support the Force XXI plan from the institutional perspective. Thirdly, this monograph analyzes each designed goal with analysis of the present situational developments under the execution of the Classroom and related Warrior XXI initiatives. As part of this analysis, the successes and shortcomings of the entire Army Training XXI initiatives are addressed, in general, in order to establish a base of reference for recommended solutions in the final chapter. Finally, this paper provides some general recommendations intended to refocus the Classroom and related Warrior XXI initiatives in order to achieve the proposed goals and objectives for the program. The recommendations proposed in this monograph are centered on de-emphasizing technology and adding emphasis to the human dimension.

Download or read book Command and General Staff Officer Education for the 21st Century Examining the German Model written by Major Luke G. Grossman USAF and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education has been the foundational cornerstone to every profession and continues to be so in the 21st Century. As a profession, the military is obligated to conduct not only training but also education of the keepers of the profession, the officer corps. Since the rise of large military bodies enabled by the levee en masse and industrialization, armies have required educated officers skilled in both command and staff functions. The Prussian-German model of staff officer education embodied in the Kriegsakademie of the Nineteenth and first half of the Twentieth Century’s, was highly regarded and much copied. The education officer received at the Kriegsakademie directly contributed to an efficiently organized and employed Prussian-German Army at the tactical and operational levels. The investment in Kriegsakademie officer education paid huge dividends at Gravelotte-St Privat and Sedan 1870, Tannenberg 1914, Battle of Poland 1939, and the Battle of France 1940, critical first battles. With the rearming of Germany in 1955 came the need for the fledgling Bundeswehr to educate general staff officers. This need was met by establishing the Führungsakademie (German Armed Forces Command and Staff College). The Führungsakademie was created with the same time honored principles that had served general staff officer training previously: careful selection of the most highly qualified and promising officers and a broad based education rigorously applied. However, little information on the current Führungsakademie Education System is available in the English language. This monograph attempts to address this void. The author conducted research and interviews with the faculty, staff, and students at the Führungsakademie in Hamburg, Germany in order to understand and assess the education given to German general staff officer aspirants. The central general staff officer’s education course is the National General/Admiral Staff Officers Course.

Book excerpt: As the nature of warfare evolves, the Army must produce leaders who comfortably interact with diverse populations and embrace complexity. This emerging truth dictates a need for change in how Army officers are trained and selected to lead at the highest levels in order to regain the initiative in managing today's fluid operational environment. The concept of strategic leadership, therefore, must be examined closely in Army doctrine. Social, cultural, and complex problem-solving skills are becoming a priority and must be developed in young officers to provide enough knowledge for senior leaders to leverage later in their careers. Rarely does the typical Army career prepare someone to succeed in the strategic arena where the non-military elements of national power carry greater effects than large numbers of troops and equipment. The basic question addressed in this study is "how effective is the U.S. Army at developing strategic thinkers capable of leading decisively in complex and adaptive environments?" To answer this question, three distinct areas are analyzed: (1) the ability of the Officer Education System (OES) to distinguish critical abilities deemed necessary to succeed in the modern security environment, (2) the ability of the Officer Evaluation Reporting System (OERS) to measure an individual's dedication to self study and lifelong education, and (3) the ability of the same OERS to measure individual skills acquired through operational experience.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States military forces face a different world as the 21st century begins. The phenomenon known as 'globalization' has created increased political, economic, and social interdependence among nations. With the emergence of new regional and transnational threats, world stability becomes a far greater challenge for the engagement strategies of the United States. For the United States to retain its prominent role in world affairs it must continue to exercise leadership abroad. Evolving national security policy originating from the United States Commission on National Security in the 21st Century (the 'Hart-Rudman' Commission), the National Security Strategy, and national security directives are suggesting the continued use of U.S. military force deployments in support of peace operations, notwithstanding criticism that utilization of military forces in peace operations degrades warfighting capability. This monograph traces the development of current national security themes from American preference for annihilation strategies and distaste of limited wars, and the historical dissonance between military resources allocated in peacetime and those found to be required for war. It examines recommendations of the Hart-Rudman Commission, and implementation of national security policy through Presidential Decision Directives (PDDs), to evaluate their probable impact on the operational preparedness of U.S. military forces and military 'readiness'. It concludes that use of U.S. military forces for engagement strategies in support of peace operations is a valid and wise exercise of the military implement of national power. In the 21st century the need for peace operations is likely to increase, rather than decrease, and future coordination between the military and other U.S. agencies such as the Department of State will become all the more important.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional Military Education (PME) is broader and more rigorous than is widely understood in the United States. Improving educational programs within the military service branches is at the very center of ongoing force transformation efforts and advanced educational opportunities occur at various, set levels of military experience. Military education increasingly conforms to standards imposed by outside civilian accrediting bodies and is mandated and monitored, to an extent, by Congress. Military Educationexplores this often-overlooked area of education within the context of the modern military force structure. In this unique work, Watson chronicles the evolution of professional military education during the last sixty years. Careful to draw distinctions between training and education, she briefly traces the history of PME and examines some of the major personalities involved in shaping it, as well as the evolution of the curriculum stressed in PME programs. Her narrative, combined with key documents, a glossary, and a timeline of important events, dispels popular notions of an uneducated military force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smallholder farmers and pastoralists fulfil an invaluable yet undervalued role in conserving biodiversity. They act as guardians of locally adapted livestock breeds that can make use of even marginal environments under tough climatic conditions and therefore are a crucial resource for food security. But in addition, by sustaining animals on natural vegetation and as part of local ecosystems, these communities also make a significant contribution to the conservation of wild biodiversity and of cultural landscapes. This publication provides a glimpse into the often intricate knowledge systems that pastoralists and smallholder farmers have developed for the management of their breeds in specific production systems and it also describes the multitude of threats and challenges these often marginalized communities have to cope with.

Download or read book European Military Culture and Security Governance written by Tamir Libel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first systematic, comparative analysis of military education and training in Europe within the context of the post-Cold War security environment. Based on an analysis of military education institutions in the UK, Germany, Finland, Romania and the Baltic States, this book demonstrates that the convergence of European military cultures since the end of the Cold War is linked to changes in military education. The process of convergence originates, at least in part, from the full or partial adoption of a new concept by post-commissioning professional military education institutions: the National Defence University. Officers are now educated alongside civilians and public servants, wherein they enjoy a socialization experience that is markedly different from that of previous generations of European officers, and is increasingly similar across national borders. In addition, this book argues that with the control over the curricula and graduation criteria increasingly set by civilian higher education authorities, the European armed forces, while continuing to exist, and hold significant (although declining) capabilities, stand to lose their status as a profession in the traditional sense. This book will be of much interest to students of military, European security policy, European politics, and IR in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the recent shift in US space policy and the forces that continually draw the US back into a space-technology security dilemma. The dual-use nature of the vast majority of space technology, meaning of value to both civilian and military communities and being unable to differentiate offensive from defensive intent of military hardware, makes space an area particularly ripe for a security dilemma. In contrast to previous administrations, the Obama Administration has pursued a less militaristic space policy, instead employing a strategic restraint approach that stressed multilateral diplomacy to space challenges. The latter required international solutions and the United States, subsequently, even voiced support for an International Code of Conduct for Space. That policy held until the Chinese anti-satellite (ASAT) test in 2013, which demonstrated expanded Chinese capabilities. This volume explores the issues arising from evolving space capabilities across the world and the security challenges this poses. It subsequently discusses the complexity of the space environment and argues that all tools of national power must be used, with some degree of balance, toward addressing space challenges and achieving space goals. This book will be of much interest to students of space policy, defence studies, foreign policy, security studies and IR.

Download or read book Operational Employment Of The Airborne Brigade Combat Team: The 503d Parachute Infantry Regiment As A Case Study written by Major Matthew J. Konz and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the focus on the Brigade Combat Team as the Army’s primary combat unit, the limited availability of U.S. Air Force airlift assets, and the U.S. Army history of employing predominantly medium sized airborne units, future airborne operations in support of operational level objectives will likely center around the Airborne Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). The combat airborne operations of the 503d Parachute Infantry Regiment will provide a case study to assess the elements of risk, surprise and the operational context of how the airborne unit contributed to the achievement the operational and strategic outcomes. The combat airborne operations discussed are the jump to re-take the island of Corregidor in the Philippines in February 1945, Operation Junction City in February 1967, and the airborne insertion of the 173d Airborne Brigade onto the Bashur airfield in Northern Iraq in March 2003. The intent of this monograph is to provide insights into the possible employment of the current ABCT and how to best use the resources and organization that we have, not necessarily to advocate a radically new airborne organization, propose new equipment, or recommend a new mission for airborne forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every operation, the functions of command, control, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), and communications are all fundamental to success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference work examines how sophisticated cyber-attacks and innovative use of social media have changed conflict in the digital realm, while new military technologies such as drones and robotic weaponry continue to have an impact on modern warfare. Cyber warfare, social media, and the latest military weapons are transforming the character of modern conflicts. This book explains how, through overview essays written by an award-winning author of military history and technology topics; in addition to more than 200 entries dealing with specific examples of digital and physical technologies, categorized by their relationship to cyber warfare, social media, and physical technology areas. Individually, these technologies are having a profound impact on modern conflicts; cumulatively, they are dynamically transforming the character of conflicts in the modern world. The book begins with a comprehensive overview essay on cyber warfare and a large section of A–Z reference entries related to this topic. The same detailed coverage is given to both social media and technology as they relate to conflict in the 21st century. Each of the three sections also includes an expansive bibliography that serves as a gateway for further research on these topics. The book ends with a detailed chronology that helps readers place all the key events in these areas.
