Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report is a research byproduct that documents the Front End Analysis for development of the Brigade-Battle Staff Training System (BDE-BSTS). BDE-BSTS, a set of functional area training packages for brigade level staff officers, is a combination of text and computer based instruction (CBI). Sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the BDE-BSTS was developed for use by the U.S. Army National Guard (ARNG). The prototype BSTS comprised 13 courses for training brigade staff officers in individual functional areas and those tasks required to prepare staffs for collective battle staff tasks. The BSTS program, sponsored under the DARPA program umbrella of Simulation in Training for Advanced Readiness (SIMITAR), is coordinated with three other programs: Simulation Based Mounted Brigade Training Program (SIMBART), Simulation Based Multiechelon Training for Armor Units (SlMTA), and Combat Service Support (CSS) Training System Development for the National Guard."--DTIC.

Download or read book Training for operations other than war (stability operations): front end analysis written by Margaret S. Salter and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Army Research Institute Infantry Forces Research Unit work program on Improving Light Forces Low Intensity Conflict Training for Operations Other Than War was planned as research on Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations but expanded to address the gamut of stability and security operations. This report documents a Front End Analysis and literature review. The literature review, the majority of this report, examined the doctrinal manuals and other Governmental publications, including articles from the Center for Army Lessons Learned, the Government Accounting Office, military magazines and professional papers. The literature review was supplemented by observations and interviews. Doctrine indicates that a unit trained for war is considered to be trained for other than war operations. Leaders who know the prevailing rules of engagement can adapt unit warfighting skills to meet the requirements of the mission. Popular literature increasingly discusses the area, and soldiers involved in recent deployments are eager to share the unique lessons learned. Stability operations may be more complex than first apparent. The bibliography and some summary reports on stability operations show that information on stability operations goes beyond specific tasks, in preparing leaders for rapidly changing, always challenging, and often difficult missions.

Book Synopsis Operations Other Than War and Its Impact on Combat Training Readiness by : Michael J. Walsh
Download or read book Operations Other Than War and Its Impact on Combat Training Readiness written by Michael J. Walsh and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every commander, soldier, and unit in a force-projection Army must be trained and ready to deploy. All concerned share this solemn responsibility. Commanders must remember that their primary mission is always to prepare for, fight, and win America's wars. This rigorous task requires nothing less than the highest priority when training and equipping the forces. FM 100-5, Operations, along with other Army doctrine and Joint doctrine document the criticality of preparedness. However, both sets of doctrine also define another commitment, a "non-lethal" operation called Operations Other Than War (OOTW)'. As we continue to deploy on these "other" operations, we must continually assess their impact on the primary mission. This study describes some OOTW impacts on training readiness through interviews with those who have served in OOTWs. This study is based on the results of a survey distributed to the US Army War College students from the l997 and 1998 year groups. The study identifies a widespread and significant "cost" of OOTW in training readiness with recovery time ranging from 7l/2 weeks to 13 weeks. However, the survey also describes a changing Army. Doctrine may be changing from below through the initiative of unit commanders and their training plans.
Book Synopsis Easier Said Than Done: Making the Transition Between Combat Operations and Stability Operations by : David P. Cavaleri
Download or read book Easier Said Than Done: Making the Transition Between Combat Operations and Stability Operations written by David P. Cavaleri and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-06-28 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Easier Said Than Done: Making the Transition Between Combat Operations and Stability Operations is another in the Combat Studies Institute's (CSI) Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) Occasional Papers series. The impetus for this series that concerns topics relevant to ongoing and future operations came from the Commanding General, Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth. Lieutenant General William S. Wallace, V Corps commander in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, directed CSI to examine historical topics that would benefit American and coalition soldiers and planners in both Iraq today, and in the broader GWOT spectrum now and in the future. One of those topics was the transition from combat (Phase III) operations to stability (Phase IV) operations, to use the current phasing construct familiar to campaign planners. Mr. David Cavaleri, a retired Armor lieutenant colonel and current CSI historian, has produced a study that examines nine critical factors that should be addressed in stabilization planning and execution. Mr. Cavaleri then presents a case study of the US occupation of Japan after World War II, followed by a parallel analysis of the case study and ongoing stability operations in Afghanistan and Iraq through the lens of the critical planning factors. This study serves as a bridge between the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) found in stability operations “how-to” manuals and the broader military operations other than war (MOOTW) concepts found in joint doctrine. Its purpose was to identify key themes that merit consideration when planning or conducting transitions between combat operations and stability operations. These themes were identified by combining a review of joint and US Army stability operations doctrine with a specific case study analysis of the US occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1952 and then extrapolated those themes to current stability operations to assess their applicability. The Japanese occupation is useful as a case study because it required that occupation forces address several challenges similar to those facing current stability operations in the Middle East, such as a fundamental change in governance philosophy, a long-term democratization program, a critical regional security challenge, and a complex economic reconstruction challenge. This analysis is not designed to serve as a “one answer fits all challenges” solution set, but rather as a practical vehicle for informing time-constrained professionals operating at the tactical and operational levels. One can easily identify several instances where the US Army has faced stability operations challenges; Cuba, Germany, the Philippines, the Dominican Republic, Panama, and Vietnam immediately come to mind. Each case involved stability operations challenges unique to its environment, but only one time during the 20th century did the United States take the lead in stabilizing the entire infrastructure—political, economic, industrial, military, educational, and even societal—of a former enemy. During this complex stability operation, the US Army implemented a number of planning themes related to transitioning between the full spectrum operations components of offense/defense and stability/support. These themes were applied, depending on the US Army's ability to manipulate each, with varying degrees of success. A RAND Corporation study published in 2003, titled America's Role in Nation-Building: From Germany to Iraq, developed six such themes, traced each through seven case studies, and concluded by drawing implications for future US military operations.

Book Synopsis Operation Just Cause by : Jennifer M. Taw
Download or read book Operation Just Cause written by Jennifer M. Taw and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1996 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of past operations is helpful in defining U.S. Army roles and functions in military operations other than war (OOTW) and in assessing the range of missions and requirements the Army is likely to face in the future. Operation Just Cause (OJC) can be distinguished from subsequent OOTW--in Kuwait, Iraq, Bangladesh, Bosnia, and Somalia--in part because it was a unilateral effort that did not involve coalition issues or problems. Nor did the United States have to coordinate its efforts with nongovernment organizations or humanitarian relief organizations. Nevertheless, OJC offers the Army some practical lessons for current and future OOTW: (1) Army training in military operations on urban terrain (MOUT) is inadequate; (2) electronic intelligence is insufficient in OOTW and must be supplemented by human intelligence and imagery; (3) efforts to streamline joint operations must not overlook service-specific needs, and must take care to maximize the use of special operations forces by employing them in the specialized tasks for which they were trained; (4) more emphasis is needed on equipment technology for the special requirements of MOUT; (5) planning for OOTW must not overlook or underemphasize stability operations (as was the case in OJC); and (6) civilian agencies (including the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development) must be involved in the planning for most OOTW, but need to develop the capability to offer valuable and timely contributions.

Book Synopsis Military Realism by : Peter Campbell
Download or read book Military Realism written by Peter Campbell and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army considered counterinsurgency (COIN) a mistake to be avoided. Many found it surprising, then, when setbacks in recent conflicts led the same army to adopt a COIN doctrine. Scholarly debates have primarily employed existing theories of military bureaucracy or culture to explain the army’s re-embrace of COIN, but Peter Campbell advances a unique argument centering on military realism to explain the complex evolution of army doctrinal thinking from 1960 to 2008. In five case studies of U.S. Army doctrine, Campbell pits military realism against bureaucratic and cultural perspectives in three key areas—nuclear versus conventional warfare, preferences for offense versus defense, and COIN missions—and finds that the army has been more doctrinally flexible than those perspectives would predict. He demonstrates that decision makers, while vowing in the wake of Vietnam to avoid (COIN) missions, nonetheless found themselves adapting to the geopolitical realities of fighting “low intensity” conflicts. In essence, he demonstrates that pragmatism has won out over dogmatism. At a time when American policymakers remain similarly conflicted about future defense strategies, Campbell’s work will undoubtedly shape and guide the debate.
