Afghanistan: Reconstituting A Collapsed State, Raymond A. Millen Ltc Apr 2005

Afghanistan: Reconstituting A Collapsed State, Raymond A. Millen Ltc

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

LTC Raymond A. Millen examines warlordism as the principal impediment to Afghanistan's revival and offers a shift in strategy that addresses the war of ideas, the counternarcotics initiative, and the incorporation of the Afghan National Army into the provincial reconstruction teams. As Lieutenant Colonel Millen observes, all the resources are in place; they simply need a shift in focus. LTC Millen takes into account the historical, cultural, and economic factors that impede central authority and the eforms needed for modern states. His problem-solving approach is insightful, pragmatic, and innovative.


Transformation And Strategic Surprise, Colin S. Gray Dr. Apr 2005

Transformation And Strategic Surprise, Colin S. Gray Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The current process of military transformation will enable the Armed Forces to do better what they already do superbly well. It is important to excel at decisive maneuver and in the application of precise, yet overwhelming firepower. But those attributes, though key in warfare against regular enemies, tend to be less valuable in conflict with irregulars. In war after war, the United States has been surprised by the poor political reward it has earned for its military effort. The IT-led transformation will do nothing to help correct the persisting American difficulty in functioning strategically and politically in its conduct of …


American Grand Strategy After 9/11: An Assessment, Stephen D. Biddle Dr. Apr 2005

American Grand Strategy After 9/11: An Assessment, Stephen D. Biddle Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

In the three years since 9-11, the Administration has yet to arrive at a clear definition of the enemy or the aim in the War on Terrorism; to date, American policy has combined ambitious public statements with ambiguity on critical particulars. Heretofore, the costs of pursuing such ambitious but ill-defined goals have been high but tolerable. The ongoing insurgency in Iraq, however, is increasing the costs of grand strategic ambiguity to the point where fundamental choices can no longer be deferred. There are two broad alternatives for resolving these ambiguities and creating a coherent and logically sufficient grand strategy: rollback …

Saudi Arabia: Islamic Threat, Political Reform, And The Global War On Terror, Sherifa D. Zuhur Dr. Mar 2005

Saudi Arabia: Islamic Threat, Political Reform, And The Global War On Terror, Sherifa D. Zuhur Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

This monograph examines the convergence of the war on terror on Saudi soil, calls for and modest programs of political reform, and heightened post-9/11 tensions with the United States. Saudi Arabia has been condemned for its Wahhabist version of Islam, and linked to the growth of salafist extremism operating locally, regionally, and internationally. This monograph more clearly defines the background and nature of today's Islamic threat in Saudi Arabia, and argues for continuing counter- and anti-terrorist measures but also for political reform and development.

Strategic Implications Of Intercommunal Warfare In Iraq, W. Andrew Terrill Dr. Feb 2005

Strategic Implications Of Intercommunal Warfare In Iraq, W. Andrew Terrill Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

In the post-Saddam era, differences among Iraqi ethnic and religious groups will either emerge as a barrier to political cooperation and national unity, or they will instead be mitigated as part of the struggle to define a new and more inclusive system of government. Should Iraqi ethnic and sectarian differences become unmanageable, a violent struggle for political power may ensue. This study does not predict an ethnic or sectarian civil war in Iraq except as a worst case, which must be analyzed and considered. If Iraqi violence erupts along religious/sectarian and ethnic lines, this conflict will have thunderous echoes throughout …


The U.S.-India Relationship: Strategic Partnership Or Complementary Interests?, Amit Gupta Dr. Feb 2005

The U.S.-India Relationship: Strategic Partnership Or Complementary Interests?, Amit Gupta Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

This monograph examines the U.S.-India security relationship and argues that significant differences in their worldviews precludes the development of a strong strategic relationship at present. However, India's continued economic and military growth, as well as its ongoing commitment towards secularism and democracy, makes it a future ally towards establishing strategic stability in Asia and in assisting future nation-building efforts across the globe. In the short run, therefore, the relationship should be based on securing complementary interests: ensuring stability in the Indian Ocean; promoting secularism and democracy across the world; and getting the Indian government to work proactively to prevent the …


Insurgency In Iraq: An Historical Perspective, Ian F.W. Beckett Dr. Jan 2005

Insurgency In Iraq: An Historical Perspective, Ian F.W. Beckett Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The continuing proliferation of insurgent organizations suggests that insurgency is still widely perceived as an effective means either of achieving power and influence, or of bringing a cause to the notice of an international or national community. The end of European decolonization and the collapse of the Soviet Union together removed the motivational impulse for much conflict between the late 1940s and the late 1980s. However, new ideological, political, and commercial imperatives are now encouraging intrastate conflict and insurgency amid the breakdown of the international bipolar political system and the emergence of identity politics and of many more nonstate actors. …


The Impact Of Missile Threats On The Reliability Of U.S. Overseas Bases: A Framework For Analysis, Joel Wuthnow Mr. Jan 2005

The Impact Of Missile Threats On The Reliability Of U.S. Overseas Bases: A Framework For Analysis, Joel Wuthnow Mr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Although the United States will continue to utilize overseas military bases in the next decade, the acquisition and improvement of long-range missiles by several potential aggressors will pose new operational and strategic problems for U.S. forces. Several states will likely attain a credible capability to threaten U.S. bases within their respective regions, despite the sophistication of U.S. missile defenses. Strategically, there are uncertainties about whether the United States can deter some of these new missile-capable actors. Deterrence problems will create new risks to U.S. deployed forces: if deterrence fails, U.S. troops will be at a higher level of exposure. Alternately, …

Deception 101--Primer On Deception, Joseph W. Caddell Dr. Dec 2004

Deception 101--Primer On Deception, Joseph W. Caddell Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author reviews the basic concepts related to "deception." Dr. Joseph Caddell defines terms, provides historical examples, and discusses problems associated with deception. He provides a general overview, a "primer" which is not directed at those who already possess a working knowledge of deception operations. Nevertheless, given the complex and everchanging nature of deception in the political-military environment, it may serve as a useful reminder of the basic assumptions and methods concerning the subject.
