Book Synopsis Learning Large Lessons by : David E. Johnson
Download or read book Learning Large Lessons written by David E. Johnson and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007-03-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relative roles of U.S. ground and air power have shifted since the end of the Cold War. At the level of major operations and campaigns, the Air Force has proved capable of and committed to performing deep strike operations, which the Army long had believed the Air Force could not reliably accomplish. If air power can largely supplant Army systems in deep operations, the implications for both joint doctrine and service capabilities would be significant. To assess the shift of these roles, the author of this report analyzed post?Cold War conflicts in Iraq (1991), Bosnia (1995), Kosovo (1999), Afghanistan (2001), and Iraq (2003). Because joint doctrine frequently reflects a consensus view rather than a truly integrated joint perspective, the author recommends that joint doctrine-and the processes by which it is derived and promulgated-be overhauled. The author also recommends reform for the services beyond major operations and campaigns to ensure that the United States attains its strategic objectives. This revised edition includes updates and an index.
Book Synopsis Recent Military Operations Other Than War by : Carol A. Miller
Download or read book Recent Military Operations Other Than War written by Carol A. Miller and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamic environment of the post-Cold War era has increased the probability that the United States will be called upon more frequently to use military personnel in untraditional, noncombat missions. In his January 1994 report to the President and Congress, Secretary of Defense William J. Perry stated: "The fundamental foreign policy goal of the United States is a stable world order in which democratic values and free trade can flourish." The evolving multipolar world, with its border disputes and ethnic, tribal, and religious conflicts, jeopardized the United States' interests in regional security, democratic freedoms, free markets, and human rights. Historically, governments have utilized their armed forces as instruments of national power in order to achieve political objectives. Today, the US and other nations continue to supplement their political, economic, and informational instruments of national power with use of their military forces through what are broadly termed "peace operations" or "Operations Other Than War." Unlike its counterparts in other nations, the US military has a unique asset which can enhance the success of peace operations. This asset is the Civil Affairs units which are specially trained to support the civil-military aspects of missions during either wartime or peacetime. This paper will discuss the United States use of Army Civil Affairs elements in the peace operations recently undertaken in Somalia and Rwanda plus a limited synopsis of the recent deployment to Haiti. First, it will provide an overview of emerging military doctrine and definitions of peace operations and operations other than war. It will include a brief review of the types of military activities in these operations and the complex environments in which they occur. Second, this paper will briefly review recent historical examples of US involvement in peace operations. This will be followed by a review of the organization, roles, and capabilities of Army Civil Affairs (CA) elements. Next, an overview of US military involvement in the recent missions in Somalia, Rwanda, and Haiti will follow. This discussion will include a summary of the utilization of CA elements in these operations. Finally, recommendations will be offered to strengthen planning and preparation for future military support of peace activities.

Book Synopsis The U.S. Military and Civil Rights Since World War II by : Heather Stur
Download or read book The U.S. Military and Civil Rights Since World War II written by Heather Stur and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through examinations of U.S. military racial and gender integration efforts and its handling of sexuality, this book argues that the need for personnel filling the ranks has forced the armed services to be pragmatically progressive since World War II. The integration of African Americans and women into the United States Armed Forces after World War II coincided with major social movements in which marginalized civilians demanded equal citizenship rights. As this book explores, due to personnel needs, the military was a leading institution in its opening of positions to women and African Americans and its offering of educational and economic opportunities that in many cases were not available to them in the civilian world. By opening positions to African Americans and women and remaking its "where boys become men" image, the military was an institutional leader on the issue of social equality in the second half of the 20th century. The pushback against gay men and women wishing to serve openly in the forces, however, revealed the limits of the military's pragmatic progressivism. This text investigates how policymakers have defined who belongs in the military and counts as a soldier, and examines how the need to attract new recruits led to the opening of the forces to marginalized groups and the rebranding of the services.
Book Synopsis The Evolution of US Army Tactical Doctrine, 1946-76 by : Robert A. Doughty
Download or read book The Evolution of US Army Tactical Doctrine, 1946-76 written by Robert A. Doughty and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the formulation of doctrine since World War II. In no comparable period in history have the dimensions of the battlefield been so altered by rapid technological changes. The need for the tactical doctrines of the Army to remain correspondingly abreast of these changes is thus more pressing than ever before. Future conflicts are not likely to develop in the leisurely fashions of the past where tactical doctrines could be refined on the battlefield itself. It is, therefore, imperative that we apprehend future problems with as much accuracy as possible. One means of doing so is to pay particular attention to the business of how the Army's doctrine has developed historically, with a view to improving methods of future development.
Book Synopsis The U.S. Army Before Vietnam, 1953-1965 by : Donald A. Carter
Download or read book The U.S. Army Before Vietnam, 1953-1965 written by Donald A. Carter and published by Department of the Army. This book was released on 2015 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Before Vietnam, 1953-1965, by Donald A. Carter, covers the period between the end of the Korean War and the initial deployment of ground combat troops to Vietnam. It describes the organizational and doctrinal changes the Army implemented as it attempted to digest the lessons of one conflict and to prepare the force for another. The pamphlet also discusses the service's efforts to maintain its position in national defense within the parameters of President Eisenhower's New Look strategic policy. A key issue for the Army was the question of how to prepare a force to operate on an atomic battlefield. In order to compete with the Air Force and the Navy for a diminishing defense budget, the Army had to show that it, too, was a modern, forward-thinking organization, prepared to integrate a new family of tactical atomic weapons into its organization and doctrine. The resulting experiment with the Pentomic division forced Army leaders to reexamine some of their most basic assumptions about future conflict. With the increasing influence of Communist China throughout Southeast Asia, the Army also began to pay greater attention toward counterinsurgency and guerilla warfare. President Kennedy's interest in a doctrine of flexible response and his concern for combatting Communist inspired insurrections prompted the Army to increase training in unconventional warfare and to highlight the capabilities of its developing special forces--the Green Berets.

Book Synopsis US Military's Experience in Stability Operations, 1789-2005 by :
Download or read book US Military's Experience in Stability Operations, 1789-2005 written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides a brief overview of the US military?s involvement in stability operations and draws out the salient patterns and recurring themes that can be derived from those experiences. It is hoped that a presentation and critical analysis of the historical record will assist today?s Army in its attempts, now well under way, to reassess its long-standing attitudes toward stability operations and the role it should play in them. The US military?s experience in the conduct of stability operations prior to the Global War on Terrorism can be divided chronologically into four periods: the country?s first century (1789-1898); the?Small Wars? experience (1898-1940)7; the Cold War (1945-1990); and the post-Cold War decade (1991-2001). Reference will be made to a group of 28 representative case studies. The list of these case studies can be found at appendix A; synopses of the cases, written by members of the Combat Studies Institute, are located in appendix B.

This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay is a brief history of the U.S. army during the years immediately following the Korean War. For many in our own time that period-corresonding to the two terms of the Eisenhower presidency-has acquired an aura of congenial simplicity. Americans who survived Vietnam, Watergate, and painful economical difficulties wistfully recall the 1950s as a time when the nation possessed a clearly-charted course and had the will and the power to follow it.
Book Synopsis Military Coercion and US Foreign Policy by : Melanie W. Sisson
Download or read book Military Coercion and US Foreign Policy written by Melanie W. Sisson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the use of military force as a coercive tool by the United States, using lessons drawn from the post-Cold War era (1991–2018). The volume reveals that despite its status as sole superpower during the post-Cold War period, US efforts to coerce other states failed as often as they succeeded. In the coming decades, the United States will face states that are more capable and creative, willing to challenge its interests and able to take advantage of missteps and vulnerabilities. By using lessons derived from in-depth case studies and statistical analysis of an original dataset of more than 100 coercive incidents in the post-Cold War era, this book generates insight into how the US military can be used to achieve policy goals. Specifically, it provides guidance about the ways in which, and the conditions under which, the US armed forces can work in concert with economic and diplomatic elements of US power to create effective coercive strategies. This book will be of interest to students of US national security, US foreign policy, strategic studies and International Relations in general.
Book Synopsis Fighting with One Hand Tied by : Timothy A. Jones
Download or read book Fighting with One Hand Tied written by Timothy A. Jones and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been much debate in recent years over constraints on military force in wartime. American civil-military relations are based on civilian control of the military. Concerns over how that control is exercised, however, fuel the debate. Concerns center around fears that political factors will interfere with how the military prosecutes the war. The genesis of these fears lies in the perceptions that political constraints tied the military's hands unnecessarily in Vietnam, contributing to the loss of the war. This monograph examines the role of the Vietnam War in shaping how policy makers and the military view the military use of force and the relationship between military force and the policy it supports. The Gulf War and the U.S. intervention in Somalia offer perspectives from both ends of the limited war spectrum on how political factors impact on military operations in the post-Cold War era. The paper concludes that military force is not likely to be constrained significantly by political considerations when combat is expected. A more significant impact occurs when military operations other than war escalate into combat operations. In general, however, events since the Vietnam War have built a greater degree of cooperation and trust between the military and it's civilian leadership. A careful analysis and understanding of national security objectives allows the military to plan and execute missions within self-imposed limits on force, preempting policy constraints and their impact on military operations.
