“An Object Lesson To The Country”—The 1915 Atlantic Fleet Summer Exercise And The U.S. Navy On The Eve Of World War I, Ryan Peeks
Naval War College Review
This unrealistic summer exercise scenario was designed to embarrass the Secretary of the Navy and force the Wilson administration to expand the Navy, illuminating three aspects of the service on the cusp of America’s entry into war: a rupture in civil-military relations, the use to which the Navy put its German counterpart, and Navy leaders’ assessment of the service after two decades of naval buildup.
The Transformation Of The Israel Defense Forces, Avi Jager
The Transformation Of The Israel Defense Forces, Avi Jager
Naval War College Review
Recent major changes to the Israel Defense Forces that reduced infantry, armor, and artillery elements in response to the rise of nonstate adversaries mean that in any future multifront war it will be much more difficult for IDF ground forces to capture areas in the Gaza Strip, southern Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere.

Transformational Leadership In The Navy—Cultivating A Learning-Organization Culture, Brenda Oppermann, William Nault
Naval War College Review
By shifting its workplace culture from one that was stratified, stovepiped, and command-and-control oriented to one that encourages risk taking, adaptation, and individual empowerment, Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard not only improved its performance significantly but expanded the notion of what it means to be a leader in the Navy.

Surging Second Sea Force: China’S Maritime Law-Enforcement Forces, Capabilities, And Future In The Gray Zone And Beyond, Andrew S. Erickson, Joshua Hickey, Henry Holst
Naval War College Review
As China’s sea services continue to expand, the consolidating China Coast Guard (CCG) has taken the lead as one of the premier sea forces in the region—giving China, in essence, a second navy. With 1,275 hulls and counting, the CCG carries out the maritime law-enforcement activities that dominate the South China Sea as the People’s Republic exerts its claims and postures for dominance.

The Responsibility Of Naval Line Officers In Determining Weapon System/Platforms, Samson Mikitarian
The Responsibility Of Naval Line Officers In Determining Weapon System/Platforms, Samson Mikitarian
Naval War College Review
The Navy of today has adopted modern and systematized management techniques that are designed to receive and process large volumes of data from the fleet and other sources. As evidenced by the great number of studies, congressional inquires, and organizational changes., the Navy's entire process of research and development, equipment design, procurement, and operational maintenance has been taken under close scrutiny in an effort to achieve the most efficient system possible.

Naval War College Review
The nature of the challenges we foresee for the Navy and the nation in the decades ahead has resulted in a series of organizational changes and realignments at the Naval War College since the summer of 2016.

Institutionalizing Innovation: Objective Or Oxymoron?, Bradd C. Hayes
Naval War College Review
To say that the naval service should be open to innovative ideas is all well and good; but how is an institution to foster innovative technological, doctrinal, and organizational change? More to the point, can innovation be institutionalized at all?
Thr Erosion Of Civilian Control Of The Military In The United States Today, Richard H. Kohn
Thr Erosion Of Civilian Control Of The Military In The United States Today, Richard H. Kohn
Naval War College Review
In over thirty-five years as a military historian, I have come to have great respect for and trust in American military officers. The United States is truly blessed to have men and women of the highest character leading its youth and safeguarding its security. That fact makes the present subject all the more troubling and unpleasant, whether to write or read about it. However, the subject is crucial to the nation’s security and to its survival as a republic. I am speaking of a tear in the nation’s civil and political fabric; my hope is that by bringing it to …
Why Russia And China Have Not Formed An Anti-American Alliance, Richard Weitz
Why Russia And China Have Not Formed An Anti-American Alliance, Richard Weitz
Naval War College Review
Notwithstanding predictions since 1991 that Russia and China would form an anti-U.S. bloc, the normalization of their relations has proceeded for reasons mostly unrelated to any joint effort to counterbalance the United States. Russian arms sales do not constitute a military alliance. The two countries’ policies on important issues have been uncoordinated and often conflicting. Finally, despite security agreements signifying the end of their Cold War hostility, nondefense economic ties and societal contacts between Russia and China have remained minimal.
What Do We Mean By “Transformation”?, Andrew L. Ross, Michèle A. Flournoy, Cindy Williams
What Do We Mean By “Transformation”?, Andrew L. Ross, Michèle A. Flournoy, Cindy Williams
Naval War College Review
What is “defense transformation” (by whatever name), and how might it affect strategy? What might it cost, and how could its cost affect military forces? What systemic impediments to implementation does it face, and what are its competitors in the budgetary realm? A distinguished panel of the Secretary of the Navy’s Current Strategy Forum held at the Naval War College on 12–13 June 2001 addressed these issues from various perspectives.
Change And Continuity—The U.S. Coast Guard Today, Thomas H. Collins
Change And Continuity—The U.S. Coast Guard Today, Thomas H. Collins
Naval War College Review
The year 2003 was a watershed for today’s Coast Guard. The Coast Guard’s roles as a military service, as a federal law-enforcement agency, as a regulatory authority, and as a member of the new Department of Homeland Security place it squarely at the center of national initiatives to reduce security risks to our nation.
From Kadesh To Kandahar, Michael Evans
From Kadesh To Kandahar, Michael Evans
Naval War College Review
The problems facing strategists and military professionals in the early twenty-first century have changed dramatically and decisively. Military power and capability have expanded into a network of transnational interconnections. As a result, preparing for armed conflict is no longer only a matter of simply assembling battlefield strength to destroy defined adversaries.
Transforming The Navy, Peter J. Dombrowski, Andrew L. Ross
Transforming The Navy, Peter J. Dombrowski, Andrew L. Ross
Naval War College Review
Judged against the expectations created by President Bush and his defense team, the Navy’s transformation enterprise falls short. However, no compelling strategic rationale for military transformation has yet been articulated. A revolution in military affairs is not required for the maintenance of U.S. military dominance specifically or American primacy generally, or for fighting and winning the global war on terror.
China’S Maturing Navy, Eric A. Mcvadon
China’S Maturing Navy, Eric A. Mcvadon
Naval War College Review
A new and much more capable Chinese navy, especially its submarine force, is being acquired and deployed. It is not yet mature, but its rapid and impressive modernization is making it a navy that is arguably the only one that the U.S. Navy must deter or be able to defeat—unless, under other circumstances, it becomes a high-seas partner.
Developing The Navy’S Operational Leaders, Christopher D. Hayes
Developing The Navy’S Operational Leaders, Christopher D. Hayes
Naval War College Review
Admiral Mullen’s words accurately reflect the Navy’s traditional pronounce- ment on leadership. Yet for most of the past century the Navy has struggled to define formally and institutionalize its development process for naval leaders. Just as the Navy accepts that “everything starts and ends with leadership,” it comfortably assumes that leadership “just happens,” as a natural derivative of operational assignments.

Learning The Hard Way, John Callaway
Learning The Hard Way, John Callaway
Naval War College Review
The October 2000 terrorist attack on the guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67) in the port of Aden, Yemen, is commonly viewed in the larger context of al-Qa‘ida’s September 11th campaign. Beyond the initial official investigations, the military force-protection context of the attack has largely been overlooked as analysts have traced the movements of al-Qa‘ida operatives who were traversing the globe at the time. But the proper context of the Cole bombing is a series of terrorist attacks against U.S. military forces abroad that started in 1983.

The Port Moresby–Solomons Operation And The Allied Reaction, 27 April–11 May 1942, Milan Vego
Naval War College Review
The ultimately unsuccessful Japanese attempt to capture Port Moresby in May 1942 is commonly referred to as the “battle of the Coral Sea.” Almost all fo- cus is usually given to the decisive tactical engagement between carrier forces. However, the Japanese effort was officially code-named Moresby Operation and was often called the “Port Moresby–Solomons operation.” In formal terms, it was on the Japanese side a major offensive and joint operation, planned and executed to achieve an op- erational objective—the capture of Port Moresby, on the Australian territory of New Guinea (now Papua New Guinea). For the Allies, in contrast, “the …

Marching Toward The Sweet Spot, Robert P. Kozloski
Naval War College Review
Before leaving his position as Secretary of Defense in 2010, Robert Gates of- fered a wake-up call in a speech to the Marine Corps Association in 2010: “It [is] time to redefine the purpose and size of the Marine Corps.” The perception even then was that the Marine Corps had become too big, too heavy, and too far removed from its maritime roots.

Cyber War, Cybered Conflict, And The Maritime Domain, Peter Dombrowski, Chris C. Demchak
Naval War College Review
Those who dismiss cyber war as mere hype or as driven by potential profits dismiss much too quickly growing evidence of the importance of cyber operations—to which the Navy may be uniquely qualified to adapt.

Organization And Innovation, Greg Smith
Naval War College Review
In 2015, the Secretary of the Navy asserted that the F-35 likely would be the last manned fighter aircraft the Navy would buy, and the Department of Defense (DoD) embarked on a Third Offset Strategy that plans to leverage unmanned and autonomous systems (UASs) and human-machine teams to ensure technologi- cal superiority over potential adversaries.
