Book Synopsis Through the Joint, Interagency, and Multinational Lens: Challenges in a Fiscally Constrained Environment by : Heather Karambelas
Download or read book Through the Joint, Interagency, and Multinational Lens: Challenges in a Fiscally Constrained Environment written by Heather Karambelas and published by . This book was released on 2019-08 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new anthology from CGSC's Department of Joint, Interagency, and Multinational Operations includes discussions on developing strategy at the national level, current challenges in Asia and Africa, and how to lead joint, interagency, and multinational teams.The government shutdown of January 2019 demonstrated the challenges of managing a nation's budget. A wall? Universal health care? Debt relief for student loans? Collective security of our Allies? These are all concerns that continue to face our nation. Questions of sovereignty and security versus diplomacy and humanitarian concerns are real. To be a successful nation, all of these issues must be addressed. How should the executive and legislative branches accomplish everything? How should domestic agencies respond? Where do defense priorities fall? There are risks with inaction, but there are additional risks in putting limited resources into actions that will not achieve the strategic ends desired for the country. Volume 3 addresses different challenges the United States faces when confronted with fiscal constraint. Department of Joint, Interagency, and Multinational Operations faculty once again apply their experiences in the chapters of this compendium to present well-researched recommendations on a variety of challenges faced in planning the use of vital resources during fiscal constraint.The underlying theme of this volume is to address global security challenges in a fiscally constrained environment. In that vein, John H. Modinger's article examines how the United States can effectively deal with China's increasingly assertive (some would say belligerent) behavior from a military perspective, amidst growing financial constraints. In Chapter 5, David A. Anderson writes about the role that investment plays in Africa's stability and economic development. His article also addresses the particular challenge of enticing foreign investment during times of fiscal constraint. In Chapter 6, Jeff D. Vordermark expands on his work from previous volumes to emphasize the importance of preparing for water scarcity when planning to provide security around the world. In Chapter 7, I seek to create an understanding that more money and education may be necessary to prepare leaders against the insider threat within their organizations. Even in a fiscally constrained environment, leaders cannot afford to be complacent against these threats. William J. Davis Jr. concludes Volume 3 with a compelling discussion about the adaptive leadership required in the joint, interagency, interorganizational, and multinational (JIIM) environment. These chapters consider national security interests while recognizing that funding is limited. Priorities must be made in how to educate, organize, train, and plan within this fiscally constrained environment. There are many topics on fiscal priorities that could be studied; the goal of this compendium is to provoke thought regarding some of the key issues that impact military planners.

Download or read book Through the Joint, Interagency, and Multinational Lens written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume begins with some thinking about thinking. Mr. Kurt VanderSteen will help us with this by providing some insights into looking at military operations from a system's perspective; to view the operational environment as an interconnected whole having properties and characteristics with far reaching impacts. Next, Lieutenant Colonel Paul Oh will build on this perspective by considering a framework to use various metaphors to better understand the different types of systems we are likely to face in the future. Beyond just center of gravity, he posits that using other metaphors is a way planners can creatively and critically explore uncertain environment and formulate possible solutions. Next we will look to some of our authors for views about our national strategy. Lieutenant Colonel Greg Sharpe and Major Ken Rich (PhD) share their vision of an expansion beyond our traditional instruments of national power of diplomacy, information, military, and economics (DIME) to include the space domain. Their chapter highlights the vital nature of assured access to space as a key consideration in developing our national security strategies. For his chapter, Dr. Rich Berkebile examines how the organizational structure of terrorism manifests in the domestic environment. He suggests contrary to public discourse, hierarchically organized terrorist groups are more dangerous than networked or leaderless resistance arrangements. Nonetheless, leaderless resistance is the dominant 21st Century domestic threat and requires new approaches to combating terrorism. Together, these two chapters remind us that a strategy must be ever responsive to evolving technologies and challenges. There is always a challenge when you try to assess the future. Two of our authors attempt to do that by analyzing the past to gain insights into what may be ahead. These authors have identified specific issues of concern. Dr. David Anderson provides a qualitative analysis into the economics associated with genocide and proposes that there are indicators and warnings to prevent future genocides. As a result of his research, he also identities some long-term economic consequences following a genocide. As Dr. Anderson looks to economics as a way to predict genocide, the next author, Mr. Jeff Vordermark explores the complex aspects of water availability/scarcity as a national security issue that represents both a likely trigger for future conflict and also a unique challenge to national interests and operational planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conducting the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) and projecting United States (US) influence worldwide has meant an increasing number of US diplomats and military forces are assigned to locations around the world, some of which have not previously had a significant US presence. In the current security environment, understanding foreign cultures and societies has become a national priority. Cultural understanding is necessary both to defeat adversaries and to work successfully with allies.
Book Synopsis Partnership for the Americas: Western Hemisphere Strategy and U.S. Southern Command by : James G. Stavridis
Download or read book Partnership for the Americas: Western Hemisphere Strategy and U.S. Southern Command written by James G. Stavridis and published by NDU Press. This book was released on 2014-02-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its creation in 1963, United States Southern Command has been led by 30 senior officers representing all four of the armed forces. None has undertaken his leadership responsibilities with the cultural sensitivity and creativity demonstrated by Admiral Jim Stavridis during his tenure in command. Breaking with tradition, Admiral Stavridis discarded the customary military model as he organized the Southern Command Headquarters. In its place he created an organization designed not to subdue adversaries, but instead to build durable and enduring partnerships with friends. His observation that it is the business of Southern Command to launch "ideas not missiles" into the command's area of responsibility gained strategic resonance throughout the Caribbean and Central and South America, and at the highest levels in Washington, DC.
Book Synopsis Examining War and Conflict around the World by : David Jerome Ph.D.
Download or read book Examining War and Conflict around the World written by David Jerome Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses 10 issues pertaining to war and conflict, such as ethics of war, national security, and refugees, and examines how countries around the world are facing these issues. To truly explore war and conflict, one must consider why the peoples and the leaders of the world behave the way that they do toward one another. For instance, why are refugees, in a variety of circumstances, treated so inhumanely in times of conflict and unrest through no fault of their own? How are women and those in the LGBTQ community treated in terms of service to their country? Examining War and Conflict around World includes ten chapters, each addressing a specific issue relating to war and conflict as it pertains to a variety of countries, including anti-Americanism, military robots and drones, nuclear weapons and proliferation, and torture. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the issue. Following the chapter introduction, each chapter highlights that issue in eight countries. Chapters provide historical perspective, but the book addresses each of the issues in a contemporary context. This work will provide an overview for all readers of ten very important topics that address matters relating to war and conflict in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Cross-Domain Synergy written by Usmc Command USMC Command and Staff College and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's strategic environment is dynamic and rapidly changing. Warfighting domains, including air, land, and sea, where the United States has dominated for almost one half-century, are increasingly being tested by traditional states, as well as non-state actors. Globalization has facilitated the ability of less capable nations to garner critical warfighting technology. The parity in technology between nations at war is no longer as great. This leveled the playing field and allowed for non-state actors to have dramatic influence on powerful nations, which has not been the case in the past. Fiscal limitations, unsustainable operations tempos, inadequate training, and current operational planning paradigms and processes have put the United States Military in a perilous situation and hindered its ability to conduct effective and efficient defense. The greatest calamity that could arise from these realities is the inability to address XDS in full-spectrum combat operations against a near-peer adversary.
Book Synopsis Counterinsurgency Field Manual by : The U.S. Army Marine Corps
Download or read book Counterinsurgency Field Manual written by The U.S. Army Marine Corps and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the U.S. military invaded Iraq, it lacked a common understanding of the problems inherent in counterinsurgency campaigns. It had neither studied them, nor developed doctrine and tactics to deal with them. It is fair to say that in 2003, most Army officers knew more about the U.S. Civil War than they did about counterinsurgency. The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual was written to fill that void. The result of unprecedented collaboration among top U.S. military experts, scholars, and practitioners in the field, the manual espouses an approach to combat that emphasizes constant adaptation and learning, the importance of decentralized decision-making, the need to understand local politics and customs, and the key role of intelligence in winning the support of the population. The manual also emphasizes the paradoxical and often counterintuitive nature of counterinsurgency operations: sometimes the more you protect your forces, the less secure you are; sometimes the more force you use, the less effective it is; sometimes doing nothing is the best reaction. An new introduction by Sarah Sewall, director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, places the manual in critical and historical perspective, explaining the significance and potential impact of this revolutionary challenge to conventional U.S. military doctrine. An attempt by our military to redefine itself in the aftermath of 9/11 and the new world of international terrorism, The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual will play a vital role in American military campaigns for years to come. The University of Chicago Press will donate a portion of the proceeds from this book to the Fisher House Foundation, a private-public partnership that supports the families of America’s injured servicemen.

Download or read book Enhancing Organizational Performance written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-04-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total quality management (TQM), reengineering, the workplace of the twenty-first centuryâ€"the 1990s have brought a sense of urgency to organizations to change or face stagnation and decline, according to Enhancing Organizational Performance. Organizations are adopting popular management techniques, some scientific, some faddish, often without introducing them properly or adequately measuring the outcome. Enhancing Organizational Performance reviews the most popular current approaches to organizational changeâ€"total quality management, reengineering, and downsizingâ€"in terms of how they affect organizations and people, how performance improvements can be measured, and what questions remain to be answered by researchers. The committee explores how theory, doctrine, accepted wisdom, and personal experience have all served as sources for organization design. Alternative organization structures such as teams, specialist networks, associations, and virtual organizations are examined. Enhancing Organizational Performance looks at the influence of the organization's norms, values, and beliefsâ€"its cultureâ€"on people and their performance, identifying cultural "levers" available to organization leaders. And what is leadership? The committee sorts through a wealth of research to identify behaviors and skills related to leadership effectiveness. The volume examines techniques for developing these skills and suggests new competencies that will become required with globalization and other trends. Mergers, networks, alliances, coalitionsâ€"organizations are increasingly turning to new intra- and inter-organizational structures. Enhancing Organizational Performance discusses how organizations cooperate to maximize outcomes. The committee explores the changing missions of the U.S. Army as a case study that has relevance to any organization. Noting that a musical greeting card contains more computing power than existed in the entire world before 1950, the committee addresses the impact of new technologies on performance. With examples, insights, and practical criteria, Enhancing Organizational Performance clarifies the nature of organizations and the prospects for performance improvement. This book will be important to corporate leaders, executives, and managers; faculty and students in organizational performance and the social sciences; business journalists; researchers; and interested individuals.
