This book was released on 1988 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the proposition that low-intensity conflict is our most likely form of military involvement in the Third World for the rest of the century, it is vital that we understand what it involves, the situation in our most likely area of involvement, and how we can use our forces in the different mission categories for a successful outcome. Military medicine's role, both in the historical concept of counterinsurgency and in the contemporary low-intensity conflict mission categories, will be outlined. This will come mainly from a research of the literature and the author's experience in Latin America in the 1960's and 1980's. An answer to what is low-intensity conflict, where are we primarily involved, and how can military medicine be of assistance in this type of environment, will be attempted. (sdw).

Download or read book The Air Force Role in Low-Intensity Conflict written by Lieutenant Colonel Usaf David J Dean and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grew from an opportunity to study a third world air force fighting an externally supported insurgency. The players were the Royal Moroccan Air Force and the Polisario, the latter trying to wrest control of the Western Sahara from the Kingdom of Morocco. The United States has also been a player in the Morocco-Polisario war as the source of much of Morocco's war material, especially the weapons used by the Royal Moroccan Air Force. Help from the United States was especially important when the Polisario deployed Soviet-built SA-6 surface-to-air missiles to counter the growing effectiveness of the Royal Moroccan Air Force. For many reasons, the United States and the US Air Force were not able to assist the Moroccans effectively. The Morocco-Polisario-US scenario that provides the basis for this study was a tiny aspect of the US foreign and military policy in the early 1980s. But it shows a political-military problem that deserves a good deal of thought now. That problem simply stated is: How is the United States going to exert political-military influence in the third world during the next twenty years? Clearly, overall US influence in the third world will be a combination of political, military, economic, and social activity. But the military, in many cases, will be the most visible form of assistance, and one upon which the recipient nation will depend for immediate results. Are the military components as instruments of national policy able to act effectively in the third world? If not, what needs to be done? The US Air Force (and the other services) needs to consider the question of effective assistance to third world countries as part of a basic shift in strategic thinking. Our primary strategic planning effort has been to insert large numbers of US ground and air forces into an area such as the Persian Gulf to accomplish our policy objectives. That planning effort must continue, but with the understanding that inserting a major US force in any third world region is extremely unlikely, both for domestic political reasons and because potential host nations are reluctant to support large US forces. Our primary strategic focus for planning needs to shift to providing effective leverage for third world friends and allies. That leverage can be in the form of arms sales, training, doctrine, or even small specialized forces. But providing leverage depends on effective planning that builds the data base which allows us to pinpoint the host country's needs and capabilities. Developing that kind of expertise in the USAF, and in the other services, will be a difficult and frustrating long-term proposition. The Air Force must recognize the need for a change and must act upon it. Planning to exert effective political-military influence in the third world may not be a glamorous task, but it will be the name of the game for the next twenty years and beyond. This book offers some ideas in that regard.

Book Synopsis Military Medicine in Low Intensity Conflict by : James W. Kirkpatrick
Download or read book Military Medicine in Low Intensity Conflict written by James W. Kirkpatrick and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military medical personnel and units have participated and will continue to participate in U.S. low intensity conflict (LIC) operations. Previous missions have included care of U.S. personnel, training of host nation medical personnel, disaster medicine during peacetime contingency operations, and, most frequently, medical humanitarian/civic action. U.S. efforts in this area have suffered from the lack of a coherent strategy for using military medicine in LIC. This paper begins with an analysis of the pressures which lead to involvement of military medicine in LIC. The defined ends to which military medicine is directed in LIC are presented followed by the ways in which it contributes to those ends and the means by which operations are conducted. Guidelines for successful military medicine operations in LIC are also detailed. The author proposes a range of new organizations and personnel specialties to strengthen military medicine's contribution to LIC operations and doctrine.

Book Synopsis Army Veterinary Service Role in Low-intensity Conflict by : Gary L. Stamp
Download or read book Army Veterinary Service Role in Low-intensity Conflict written by Gary L. Stamp and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National security of the United States depends on stability in the Western Hemisphere, and this stability in turn depends in large part on the respective governments being able to control disease, malnutrition, and poverty in their exploding populations. In spite of the remarkable trend of democratization in Latin America, there continues to be widespread political unrest and terrorism as fledgling democracies strive for moral legitimacy to govern. Terrorism and insurgency are basically rooted in economic and social inequality that can only be improved by providing a broader and more equitable access to economic resources and the benefits they imply (health, education, housing, etc.) The low-intensity conflict environment of Latin America then extends beyond military confrontation. It is characterized more by confrontation between man and his socioeconomic and political situation, of which health and nutrition are integral parts. Properly applied veterinary medicine programs can make a difference in this struggle. They impact on health, economics, and nutrition more than any other single discipline. The Army Veterinary Service has the capability to contribute more in LIC and nation assistance, but its role must be clarified and expanded. The author examines past veterinary civic action experiences, reviews the health component of LIC in Latin America, and proposes recommendations to more effectively use the Army Veterinary Service as a resource in LIC and peacetime engagement activities.

Book Synopsis Military Medicine as an Instrument of Power by : Robert G. Claypool
Download or read book Military Medicine as an Instrument of Power written by Robert G. Claypool and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the United States Military medical forces have historically had patient care and medical research as primary responsibilities, they have recently been afforded the opportunity to contribute to our national security by participating in humanitarian or civic action programs or by conducting ventures which lead to training of friendly nations' medical services. The Army Medical Department (AMEDD) has been involved with formal, established programs beginning at the close of World War II, continuing through Korea and Vietnam, and extending to the low intensity conflict ongoing in Central America. In addition, it has participated in a number of ad hoc exercises in various other areas on the globe. It is my contention that, for the most part, substantive benefit was realized to some degree from all of these events. However, some were more effective than others in terms of promoting our national security strategy. This paper will review some military medical endeavors, comment about shortfalls as well as positive points, and offer recommendations for future success.

Book Synopsis U.S. Medical Imperatives for Low Intensity Conflict by : Peter B. Cramblet
Download or read book U.S. Medical Imperatives for Low Intensity Conflict written by Peter B. Cramblet and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military imperatives provide a framework for concept and professional development by highlighting key elements or attributes characteristic of successful operations. This paper will endeavor to develop a set of medical imperatives for Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) based on accepted doctrine and recent medical experience. Over the past decade emerging LIC doctrine began to establish parameters within which medical operations would be conducted. Low Intensity Conflict imperatives from FM100-20 coupled with sustainment imperatives from FM 100-5 provide the initial basis from which to develop a consistent and appropriate LIC medical doctrine. Vietnam and more recent medical operations conducted in various low intensity environments to include: Beirut, Honduras, El Salvador, and Panama provide practical experience from which we can evaluate lessons learned and formulate concepts. The result is a set of medical imperatives that include: integration, legitimacy, continuity, responsiveness, medical intelligence, and simplicity. These imperatives are consistent with published military doctrine and tend to characterize key elements of successful medical operations in low intensity conflict.

Book Synopsis Civic Action Versus Counterinsurgency and Low Intensity Conflict in Latin America by : Regina Gaillard
Download or read book Civic Action Versus Counterinsurgency and Low Intensity Conflict in Latin America written by Regina Gaillard and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay argues that civic action should once again be a topic that inflames our hearts and minds. The author points out that with 'peace breaking out' in much of the world, and with shrinking U.S. military budgets, civic actions and humanitarian and civic assistance by U.S. military personnel hold the promise of meaningful training opportunities and the use of force structure. Moreover, she argues that civic assistance projects can advance the interest of the United States in supporting democracy throughout a Third World that is increasingly unable to pay for development commercially. But the author finds that these opportunities are opening at a time when civic action is severely constrained by law and misunderstood by the public, both in the United States and in Latin America. Using the history of the civic action concept as applied to Latin America, the author examines the linkage between civic action and counterinsurgency/low intensity conflict and delineates a framework for the future in the form of a new 'U.S. Development Corps' which would be structured to avoid political and doctrinal pitfalls that have marked the history of the civic action concept.
