Naval History: Operation Rhine Exercise, May 18–27, 1941, Milan Vego

Naval War College Review

The pursuit and sinking of the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941 constituted one of the largest fleet-versus-fleet operations in European waters during World War II. The British used forty-one surface ships, eight submarines, and fifty aircraft to hunt the Bismarck combat group. Detaching so many ships from convoy duty to take part in the pursuit represented a high but prudent risk by the Admiralty.


Asia Rising: China’S Global Naval Strategy And Expanding Force Structure, James E. Fanell Jan 2019

Asia Rising: China’S Global Naval Strategy And Expanding Force Structure, James E. Fanell

Naval War College Review

The balance of power in the Indo-Pacific is shifting as China spends its national treasure to build a modern, blue-water navy and exerts its influence around the region, and the world, through economic investment and military power projection. Beijing’s pursuit of the China Dream is pushing America and its allies toward a decade of concern, when the already tenuous situation may experience further destabilization.

Taiwan’S Offshore Islands, Pathway Or Barrier?, Bruce A. Elleman Jan 2019

Taiwan’S Offshore Islands, Pathway Or Barrier?, Bruce A. Elleman

Newport Papers

This Newport Paper will examine the role of offshore islands in twentieth-century East Asian history, in particular those islands in the Taiwan Strait that were disputed by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC) during the 1950s and afterward, and how these apparently insignificant islands impacted Cold War history.


On Wargaming, Matthew B. Caffrey Jr. Jan 2019

On Wargaming, Matthew B. Caffrey Jr.

Newport Papers

Wargames are as old as civilization—and perhaps older. In his informative and entertaining Public Broadcasting series Connections, James Burke argued that the first invention, the one that enabled all later inventions, was the plow. It allowed agriculture, and as agriculture permitted denser populations, the frequency of inventions increased, due either to “connecting” with new applications or combining with other inventions to create one that was greater than the sum of its parts.


International Humanitarian Law And The Targeting Of Data, Tim Mccormack Nov 2018

International Humanitarian Law And The Targeting Of Data, Tim Mccormack

International Law Studies

The 2013 publication of the Tallinn Manual on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Warfare confirmed the view of the majority of the international group of experts that data was not an object and therefore not subject to the rules of targeting during an armed conflict. Intuitively, a number of scholars reacted negatively to this view, and instead were drawn to the Tallinn Manual minority position that data did constitute an object. The significance of data, particularly personal data, is only increasing, and the purpose of the law of armed conflict is to reduce the deleterious impact of armed conflict …


Ethics And The Twenty-First-Century Military Professional, Timothy J. Demy Nov 2018

Ethics And The Twenty-First-Century Military Professional, Timothy J. Demy

The van Beuren Leadership and Ethics Series

We enter into military service with the belief that joining the profession of arms means being part of something greater than ourselves. Being part of something greater requires each member of the profession to grow individually, improving every day to be better. This pattern of seeking growth is at the very core of the most successful professionals, including their contributions to the profession of arms.


China Maritime Report No. 3: China’S Distant-Ocean Survey Activities: Implications For U.S. National Security, Ryan D. Martinson, Peter A. Dutton Nov 2018

China Maritime Report No. 3: China’S Distant-Ocean Survey Activities: Implications For U.S. National Security, Ryan D. Martinson, Peter A. Dutton

CMSI China Maritime Reports

Today, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is investing in marine scientific research on a massive scale. This investment supports an oceanographic research agenda that is increasingly global in scope. One key indicator of this trend is the expanding operations of China’s oceanographic research fleet. On any given day, 5-10 Chinese “scientific research vessels” (科学考查船) may be found operating beyond Chinese jurisdictional waters, in strategically-important areas of the Indo-Pacific. Overshadowed by the dramatic growth in China’s naval footprint, their presence largely goes unnoticed. Yet the activities of these ships and the scientists and engineers they embark have major implications for …

These accounts of the early lives, Navy appointments, and career accomplishments of the African American officers who followed in the trail that Vice Admiral Gravely blazed are offered to document the determination demonstrated and the successes achieved, under the often trying circumstances of bias encountered and obstacles that had to be overcome that the admiral mentioned in his formula for success.


Weapons Review Obligation Under Customary International Law, Natalia Jevglevskaja Sep 2018

Weapons Review Obligation Under Customary International Law, Natalia Jevglevskaja

International Law Studies

Under Article 36 of the 1977 Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, States are required to review new weapons for their compliance with international law. While recent discussions on the regulation of lethal autonomous weapons systems under the auspices of the UN Certain Conventional Weapons Convention increasingly emphasize the importance of national weapons review mechanisms, Article 36 is known to be implemented only by a handful of States. Some legal scholars have nonetheless argued that the Article 36 obligation has attained customary international law status. Remarkably, substantive analysis of State practice and opinio juris required to evidence that certain …


The Role Of Labor In War, Victor G. Reuther Sep 2018

The Role Of Labor In War, Victor G. Reuther

Naval War College Review

I have a very strong and a very deep conviction that in the final analysis the victory of the free world will depend in far greater measure on what is done at the social, the economic and the political level - at the level where we seek to win the hearts, the minds and the souls of men and where we can mobilize our resources to do justice to the democratic cause in that area - than in the area of traditional warfare alone.


Concepts And Nature Of Air Warfare, Grover C. Brown Sep 2018

Concepts And Nature Of Air Warfare, Grover C. Brown

Naval War College Review

For the next two days we will be considering together the concepts and nature of air warfare, for in a sense, all of our discus- sions will be dealing with different aspects and different views of this same subject. So much has to be left unsaid on so broad a topic that our problem for the next two days is really one of selec­tion - the selection of the key ideas, facts, and relationships for study.


Psychological Warfare, Charles H. Smith Sep 2018

Psychological Warfare, Charles H. Smith

Naval War College Review

I am truly delighted to have this opportunity-and this honor-of talking with you about Psychological Warfare, because I have no doubt that some among you will, in your next duty assignments, learn that this subject is receiving considerably more attention than it was receiving when you left your last duty sta­tions.


Psychological Warfare, Paul M.A. Linebarger Sep 2018

Psychological Warfare, Paul M.A. Linebarger

Naval War College Review

Gentlemen, psychological warfare is an elaborate and curently popular label for a wide variety of subjects. I cannot present specifically naval doctrine to you, nor is it my province to delineate those distinctions which—in sound naval theory­—should prevail between psychological warfare, political warfare, "special operations," economic warfare, sabotage activities, guer­rilla warfare, and a variety of other related subjects.


Wildlife Trafficking And Poaching: Contemporary Context And Dynamics For Security Cooperation And Military Assistance, Christopher Jasparro Sep 2018

Wildlife Trafficking And Poaching: Contemporary Context And Dynamics For Security Cooperation And Military Assistance, Christopher Jasparro

CIWAG Case Studies

Wildlife Trafficking and Poaching: Contemporary Context and Dynamics for Security Cooperation and Military Assistance, by Dr. Christopher Jasparro, examines the impact wildlife crime has played on exacerbating the delicate security situation in Africa, and the effectiveness of the security cooperation and assistance programs that have formed as a result. Wildlife crime has become a significant international security issue as poaching is used to fund terrorism, drug trades, and other illicit activities that destabilize local African governments and endanger vulnerable species. Wildlife crime is complex and varied with no individual solution. To combat this growing issue, plans and programs carefully …


Are Enhanced Warfighters Weapons, Means, Or Methods Of Warfare?, Rain Liivoja, Luke Chircop Aug 2018

Are Enhanced Warfighters Weapons, Means, Or Methods Of Warfare?, Rain Liivoja, Luke Chircop

International Law Studies

Advances in science and technology have made it possible to improve the physical and cognitive capabilities of warfighters by biomedical interventions, such as the administration of drugs, the implantation of devices, and the magnetic stimulation of the brain. These advances raise the question as to whether enhanced warfighters ought to be considered weapons, means of warfare, or methods of warfare, for the purposes of the law of armed conflict. An affirmative answer to this question would make human enhancement subject to various restrictions arising from the law of armed conflict as well as arms control law. This article disagrees with …
