Book Synopsis Threat Assessment: The Role of Vulnerabilities by :
Download or read book Threat Assessment: The Role of Vulnerabilities written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Threat assessment is crucial in each step of thinking about military strategy. Identifying political and military objectives, deterring or fighting, taking the offensive or the defensive, pursuing annihilation or attrition, using the direct or the indirect approach -- each of these basic choices in military strategy depends primarily on the threat. Indeed, without an actual or potential threat, it would be impossible and pointless to construct a military strategy. A fundamental difficulty in threat assessment is that, paradoxically, it is not just the enemy situation that defines the threat. The "friendly situation" also defines the threat. People naturally tend to focus on the adversary's capabilities and intentions in gauging the threat. But an adversary can be a threat only in relation to one's own situation. An accurate and complete threat assessment requires an accurate and complete assessment of both the enemy and friendly situation. To show the critical but elusive role of friendly vulnerabilities in threat assessment, the author first describes a framework for thinking about threats. He then applies this framework to the origins of the Korean War. The outbreak of the Korean War is relevant because it involved, and may even have resulted from, a threat assessment based on mistakes about friendly capabilities and intentions. Finally, the author use the Korean War example to say that self-awareness of vulnerabilities plays a dual role in threat assessment: people use vulnerabilities not only to calculate the threat level and prescribe a response to the threat, but also to describe the threat in the first place.
Book Synopsis Toward a Risk Management Defense Strategy by : Nathan Freier
Download or read book Toward a Risk Management Defense Strategy written by Nathan Freier and published by Strategic Studies Institute. This book was released on 2009 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph offers key considerations for DoD as it works through the on-going defense review. The author outlines eight principles for a risk management defense strategy. He argues that these principles provide "measures of merit" for evaluating the new administration's defense choices. This monograph builds on two previous works-- Known unknowns: unconventional "strategic shocks" in defense strategy development and The new balance: limited armed stabilization and the future of U.S. landpower. Combined, these three works offer key insights on the most appropriate DoD responses to increasingly "unconventional" defense and national security conditions. This work in particular provides DoD leaders food for thought, as they balance mounting defense demands and declining defense resources.
Book Synopsis Rethinking Asymmetric Threats by : Stephen Blank
Download or read book Rethinking Asymmetric Threats written by Stephen Blank and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several years U.S. policymakers, officials, and writers on defense have employed the terms "asymmetric" or "asymmetry" to characterize everything from the nature of the threats we face to the nature of war and beyond. The author challenges the utility of using those terms to characterize the threats we face, one element of the broader debate over the nature of war, U.S. strategy, and the threats confronting us. As a work of critique, it aims to make an important contribution to the threat debate. A correct assessment of the nature of the threat environment is essential to any sound defense doctrine for the U.S. Army and the military as a whole. That correct assessment can only be reached through a process of critique and debate.
Book Synopsis Transnational Threats: Blending Law Enforcement and Military Strategies by :
Download or read book Transnational Threats: Blending Law Enforcement and Military Strategies written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 2-3, 2000, the U.S. Army War College, the Triangle Institute for Security Studies, and the Duke University Center for Law, Ethics, and National Security co-sponsored a conference in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The conference examined transnational threats, including terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction, cyber threats to the national infrastructure, and international organized crime. The goal was to evaluate the seriousness of such threats and discuss strategies for dealing with them. In particular, the conference sought to address the question of how military and law enforcement could blend their strategies to better counter transnational threats. A secondary purpose was to clarify the role of the military in meeting challenges that transcend national borders and threaten our national interests. This book highlights some of the main issues and themes that ran through the conference. After looking at the various threats and undertaking a risk assessment, the report considers the unique aspects of transnational threats, and then identifies the key challenges facing the United States, paying particular attention to the role of the military. The book concludes with discussions of some of the steps that should be taken to secure ourselves against transnational threats.
Book Synopsis Strategic Information Warfare by : Roger C. Molander
Download or read book Strategic Information Warfare written by Roger C. Molander and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1996-02-28 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Future U.S. national security strategy is likely to be profoundly affected by the ongoing, rapid evolution of cyberspace--the global information infrastructure--and in particular by the growing dependence of the U.S. military and other national institutions and infrastructures on potentially vulnerable elements of the U.S. national information infrastructure. To examine these effects, the authors conducted a series of exercises employing a methodology known as the Day After ... in which participants are presented with an information warfare crisis scenario and asked to advise the president on possible responses. Participants included senior national security community members and representatives from security-related telecommunications and information-systems industries. The report synthesizes the exercise results and presents the instructions from the exercise materials in their entirety.

Book Synopsis The Growing Threat to Air Force Mission-Critical Electronics by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book The Growing Threat to Air Force Mission-Critical Electronics written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-performance electronics are key to the U.S. Air Force's (USAF's) ability to deliver lethal effects at the time and location of their choosing. Additionally, these electronic systems must be able to withstand not only the rigors of the battlefield but be able to perform the needed mission while under cyber and electronic warfare (EW) attack. This requires a high degree of assurance that they are both physically reliable and resistant to adversary actions throughout their life cycle from design to sustainment. In 2016, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop titled Optimizing the Air Force Acquisition Strategy of Secure and Reliable Electronic Components, and released a summary of the workshop. This publication serves as a follow-on to provide recommendations to the USAF acquisition community.

Book excerpt: "In a period of budget austerity and emerging threats, defense policymakers must contend with a range of competing requirements. And while current conflicts take precedence, the Defense Department must also focus on developing the force of the future. To do so, it is first necessary to consider the nature of conflict and types of missions the U.S. military may face in the coming decades. By assessing the key components, or drivers, of the future security environment (FSE), an unknowable future becomes a bit clearer. This report provides such an assessment. Drawing on qualitative data such as national security and foreign policy literature, Defense Department strategy and operational documents, and interviews with leading academics and practitioners, this study identifies and examines the drivers of the FSE in order to guide analysis and decisionmaking"--Publisher's web site.

S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-26 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Security Council (NSC) is the locus of strategic policy planning for the United States, as it serves as the statutory strategic coordinating cell for the President. With the recent shift toward great power competition, consideration must be given to how the military and interagency integrate into policy at the strategic and operational levels of war. This study seeks to examine how the United States conducts strategic planning to understand the implications for the U.S. effort in preparing for great power conflict and large scale combat operations.Recommendations from this study include making structural improvements in the NSC system that establish the importance of strategic planning, policy evaluation, and talent management. To accomplish this, both legislative and executive measures should be implemented to support progressive change. The study concludes by offering that synchronizing strategy across the interagency is a complex problem with no perfect solution. Instead, incremental changes should be made to improve the system with continued study focused on refining the process given a changing environment.This compilation also includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.1.

Book Synopsis Hybrid Threat Concept by : Brian P. Fleming
Download or read book Hybrid Threat Concept written by Brian P. Fleming and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hybrid threat actors seek to master unrestricted operational art in order to reconcile overmatch and protect or advance their interests. As interest-based rational actors, hybrid threats translate strategic intent into unrestricted distributed operations. The hybrid threat concept represents the evolution of operational art and a potential paradigm shift as a doctrinal and organizational Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA). Baptized in its modern form after the 1991 Gulf War, the hybrid threat construct is a sophisticated amalgam of unrestricted threat activities that have resisted codification and generated a labyrinth of contradictory explanation. As an unrestricted collective methodology, the hybrid concept bypasses the cognitive boundaries of traditional threat characterization and the application of organized collective violence. United States military operational and strategic planners who choose to ignore emerging hybrid threats or meet them with intellectual contempt are accepting strategic risk, as they aim to set conditions for strategic opportunity and prevent the U.S. tendency to dominate the battlefield. This study demonstrates the tendency for hybrid threat actors to increase in frequency and diversity of ways and means in the pursuit of their interests in the next decade. The hybrid threat construct offers a framework to describe the evolving character of contemporary threat actors, challenge conventional threat assessment methodologies and understand the anomalies in the contemporary operating environment. As such, the hybrid construct presents numerous implications for visualizing the future operational environment and for how the U.S. military will formulate strategy, policy and resource investment priorities in the near future."--Page ii.
Book Synopsis Cybersecurity Risk Management Process for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) at the Strategic Level - Increasing Use of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS), Joint Risk Analysis Methodology (JRAM) Process by : U. S. Military
Download or read book Cybersecurity Risk Management Process for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) at the Strategic Level - Increasing Use of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS), Joint Risk Analysis Methodology (JRAM) Process written by U. S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, the integration of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into military operations has grown substantially. UAS have significantly contributed to U.S. military tactical, operational and strategic operations. Recently, the U.S. military has made increasing use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) UAS, yet none of the U.S. military services have a defined cybersecurity risk management process for COTS UAS. These systems have been susceptible to cyber attacks, leading to the May 2018 ban on the use of these systems across the Department of Defense (DoD). This research effort has developed a multi-echelon cybersecurity risk assessment process for the DoD. The proposed process would enable strategic, operational and tactical commanders to assess and communicate cybersecurity risks associated with COTS UAS. The process combined four steps from the Joint Risk Analysis Methodology (JRAM) framework and seven steps from a strategic risk business management process. This process would allow commanders to have an enhanced awareness of cybersecurity risks associated with COTS UAS operations, improved current cyber threat assessments, and tailored action plans for their areas of responsibility. The proposed process would help units and agencies across the DoD to resume their use, test and purchase of COTS UASs without the need for the current centralized waiver process.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.
