China Maritime Report No. 21: Civilian Shipping And Maritime Militia: The Logistics Backbone Of A Taiwan Invasion, Lonnie D. Henley May 2022

China Maritime Report No. 21: Civilian Shipping And Maritime Militia: The Logistics Backbone Of A Taiwan Invasion, Lonnie D. Henley

CMSI China Maritime Reports

Most analysts looking at the Chinese military threat to Taiwan conclude that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is incapable of invading the island because it lacks the landing ships to transport adequate quantities of troops and equipment across the Taiwan Strait. This report challenges that conventional wisdom, arguing that the PLA intends to meet these requirements by requisitioning civilian vessels operated by members of China’s maritime militia (海上民兵). Since the early 2000s, the Chinese government and military have taken steps to strengthen the national defense mobilization system to ensure the military has ample quantities of trained militia forces to support …

Innovation, Interrupted—Next-Generation Surface-Combatant Design, David H. Lewis Apr 2022

Innovation, Interrupted—Next-Generation Surface-Combatant Design, David H. Lewis

Naval War College Review

Three ships designed in the 1930s that fought in the Pacific theater during the early months of America’s involvement in World War II represent three different ship design approaches that continue to create dissonance in the U.S. Navy’s current ship-design processes. The Navy must transition to a next-generation surface-combatant-design process to accommodate the future warfighting environment.


Nuclear-Crisis Management And Cyber War—A Dangerous Crossroads, Stephen J. Cimbala Apr 2022

Nuclear-Crisis Management And Cyber War—A Dangerous Crossroads, Stephen J. Cimbala

Naval War College Review

States’ actual experience in managing nuclear crises occurred almost entirely prior to the information age. The rule book for nuclear-crisis management in this era of cyber deterrence and cyber war remains to be written. Advanced cyberwar capabilities might interfere with future crisis management, resulting in misperceptions, faulty communications, and hasty judgments.


An Offensive Minelaying Campaign Against China, Matthew Cancian Apr 2022

An Offensive Minelaying Campaign Against China, Matthew Cancian

Naval War College Review

Using existing assets, it is feasible to lay minefields in the Taiwan Strait to delay any Chinese military movement against Taiwan, providing a crisis-response option more forceful than diplomacy but less risky than kinetic operations. This option must be developed in peacetime to be available to U.S. leaders in a crisis.

Active Resistance By Merchant Vessel Crews During International Armed Conflict Is Not “Direct Participation In Hostilities”, Robert Mclaughlin Apr 2022

Active Resistance By Merchant Vessel Crews During International Armed Conflict Is Not “Direct Participation In Hostilities”, Robert Mclaughlin

International Law Studies

Within the land, air, and cyber conflict contexts, the concept of "civilian direct participation in hostilities" has been subject to intense scrutiny, interpretive endeavor, and operational application over the last several decades. There is a risk, however, that interpretations and applications based on this experience may inappropriately permeate the law of naval warfare, where the scope of application of this concept is considerably narrower. This is because a key difference between allocating law of armed conflict status ashore and at sea is that the law of armed conflict status of people at sea tends to follow the status of their …


China Maritime Report No. 20: The Pla Army Amphibious Force, Dennis J. Blasko Apr 2022

China Maritime Report No. 20: The Pla Army Amphibious Force, Dennis J. Blasko

CMSI China Maritime Reports

The PLA Army’s (PLAA) amphibious units would serve as the core of any joint force charged with invading Taiwan. As a result of the 2017 reforms, the PLAA now possesses six amphibious combined arms brigades distributed across three group armies (the 72nd, 73rd, and 74th). During a cross-strait invasion, these brigades would likely receive support from other elements of the group armies to which they belong. This could include fire support, air defense, air transport, aerial fire support, and electronic warfare/cyber-attack.


The Prohibition On Intervention Under International Law And Cyber Operations, Ori Pomson Mar 2022

The Prohibition On Intervention Under International Law And Cyber Operations, Ori Pomson

International Law Studies

Given that cyber technologies have made way for attempts to influence the affairs of other States in novel and unique ways, scholars have turned to the international legal rule which is prima facie most relevant in addressing such meddling; namely, the prohibition on intervention. Moreover, there appears to be quite a wide-ranging consensus in scholarship that the prohibition on intervention applies to a broad range of cyber operations. In contrast to such scholarship, this article argues that, under the lex lata, the prohibition on intervention only applies to acts amounting to a use of force or constituting support for …

Targeting A Satellite: Contrasting Considerations Between The Jus Ad Bellum And The Jus In Bello, Hitoshi Nasu Mar 2022

Targeting A Satellite: Contrasting Considerations Between The Jus Ad Bellum And The Jus In Bello, Hitoshi Nasu

International Law Studies

With the development and greater availability of counter-space capabilities, satellites are becoming a prime target of military threats. However, the legal assessment for the targeting of a satellite requires careful analysis because of its impacts on terrestrial activities and the potential to affect the rights and interests of third parties when their payloads are carried by the targeted satellite. With these two unique characteristics in mind, this article unravels the complexity of international legal regimes applicable to military operations conducted against a satellite by contrasting threshold legal considerations necessary for the identification and application of relevant legal requirements under the …


China Maritime Report No. 19: The Pla Airborne Corps In A Joint Island Landing Campaign, Cristina L. Garafola Mar 2022

China Maritime Report No. 19: The Pla Airborne Corps In A Joint Island Landing Campaign, Cristina L. Garafola

CMSI China Maritime Reports

The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Airborne Corps would likely play an important role in a cross-strait invasion through operations behind enemy lines. During the landing campaign, the Corps would conduct paradrops or landing operations onto Taiwan, facilitated by PLA Air Force (PLAAF) aircraft. Once on island, airborne forces would seize and hold terrain and conduct a variety of operations to support the broader invasion. In recent years, the Corps has reorganized to improve its capability for mechanized maneuver and assault, leveraging the PLAAF’s larger inventories of transport aircraft, particularly the Y-20; improved the sophistication of its training at home; and …

Does The Revised U.S. South China Sea Policy Go Far Enough?, Raul (Pete) Pedrozo Feb 2022

Does The Revised U.S. South China Sea Policy Go Far Enough?, Raul (Pete) Pedrozo

International Law Studies

The United States issued a statement on July 13, 2020, outlining the U.S. Position on Maritime Claims in the South China Sea. The statement supplements existing U.S. policy for the South China Sea, making clear that the People’s Republic of China’s claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are unlawful. Still, the revised U.S. policy does not go far enough to contest China's faulty claims in the South China Sea. This article proposes specific issues that the revised U.S. policy should address.


Drawing The Cyber Baseline: The Applicability Of Existing International Law To The Governance Of Information And Communication Technologies, Dapo Akande, Antonio Coco, Talita De Souza Dias Feb 2022

Drawing The Cyber Baseline: The Applicability Of Existing International Law To The Governance Of Information And Communication Technologies, Dapo Akande, Antonio Coco, Talita De Souza Dias

International Law Studies

"Cyberspace" is often treated as a new domain of State activity in international legal discourse. This has led to the assumption that for international law to apply to cyber operations carried out by States or non-State actors, "cyber-specific" State practice and opinio juris must be demonstrated. This article challenges that assumption on five different bases. First, it argues that rules of general international law are generally applicable to all domains, areas, or types of State activity. In their interpretation and application to purported new domains, limitations to their scope of application cannot be presumed. Second, this article demonstrates that the …
