Mapping Colombia: The Correlation Between Land Data And Strategy, Geoffrey Demarest Dr. Mar 2003

Mapping Colombia: The Correlation Between Land Data And Strategy, Geoffrey Demarest Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The mapping of Colombian national territory, however, is fundamental to the problem of control of national territory. As a threshold matter, policy, strategy, and military asset management in contemporary conflict in virtually any unstable part of the world must deal with the problem of governance in "lawless areas." Unless a central government such as that in Colombia can exert legitimate control and governance in the 60+ percent of the municipalities not under its control, there can be no effective judicial system and rule of law; no effective legal crop substitution programs; no effective democratic processes; and, only very little military …


Strategic Effects Of Conflict With Iraq: Post-Soviet States, Stephen J. Blank Dr. Mar 2003

Strategic Effects Of Conflict With Iraq: Post-Soviet States, Stephen J. Blank Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author has been asked to analyze four issues: the position that key states in their region are taking on U.S. military action against Iraq; the role of America in the region after the war with Iraq; the nature of security partnerships in the region after the war with Iraq; and the effect that war with Iraq will have on the war on terrorism in the region. Conclusions reached are: Ashort war with rapid decisive victory minimizes future risks connected with Iraq to our force stationed in the former Soviet Union. However, it does not eliminate existing threats or allow …


Future War/Future Battlespace: The Strategic Role Of American Landpower, Steven Metz Dr., Raymond A. Millen Ltc Mar 2003

Future War/Future Battlespace: The Strategic Role Of American Landpower, Steven Metz Dr., Raymond A. Millen Ltc

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The authors examine the trends in the strategic environment in their development of the Future War/Future Battlespace. One fact is clear. Traditional warfighting has changed in the post 9-11 era. The U.S. military must adapt or fail. There is no other recourse. The authors have superbly framed the strategic environment into four strategic battlespaces and have examined the ways future adversaries will operate within them to thwart U.S. strategic initiatives. In this context, these variables influence the path that Transformation must take.


Globalization And The Nature Of War, Antulio J. Echevarria Ii Mar 2003

Globalization And The Nature Of War, Antulio J. Echevarria Ii

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author explores the nature of war, and how it has changed as a result of globalization. He uses the Clausewitzian model of war's trinity (political guidance, chance, and enmity) as a framework for understanding the nature of war, a concept that has been only vaguely represented in defense literature. He then analyses the global war on terrorism via that framework. He concludes that the Clausewitzian trinity is alive and well. Globalization is strengthening the role that political guidance is playing in war, it may well increase the elements of chance and uncertainty, and it is clearly exacerbating basic feelings …


Russia In Afghanistan And Chechnya: Military Strategic Culture And The Paradoxes Of Asymmetric Conflict, Robert M. Cassidy Major Feb 2003

Russia In Afghanistan And Chechnya: Military Strategic Culture And The Paradoxes Of Asymmetric Conflict, Robert M. Cassidy Major

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author uses a detailed assessment of the Russian experience in Afghanistan and Chechnya to draw important conclusions about asymmetric warfare. He then uses this to provide recommendations for the U.S. military, particularly the Army. Major Cassidy points out that small wars are difficult for every great power, yet are the most common kind. Even in this era of asymmetry, the U.S. Army exhibits a cultural preference for the "big war" paradigm. He suggests that the U.S. military in general, including the Army, needs a cultural transformation to master the challenge of asymmetry fully. From this will grow doctrine and …


Waging Ancient War: Limits On Preemptive Force, D. Robert Worley Dr. Feb 2003

Waging Ancient War: Limits On Preemptive Force, D. Robert Worley Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author addresses the ways that the age of terrorism is affecting American grand strategy. He contends that terrorism has made many of the basic concepts of international relations and national security obsolete. Declaring war on a tactic—terrorism—erodes the clarity necessary for coherent strategy. Dr. Worley then develops what he calls a "guerra strategy" more appropriate for dealing with terrorism and other nonstate threats.

European Adaptation To Expeditionary Warfare: Implications For The U.S. Army, Andrew M. Dorman Dr. Nov 2002

European Adaptation To Expeditionary Warfare: Implications For The U.S. Army, Andrew M. Dorman Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author briefly examines the European response to the changing security environment and the opportunities presented by the European Security and Defense Policy Expeditionary Force. As he correctly observes, the establishment of a European expeditionary force will be no easy matter, will require substantial investment, and will take years to complete. However, it is the right course for Europe to take. The European Union (EU) cannot manage emerging security issues using Cold War legacy forces because they are too ponderous to deploy. A lighter, more nimble expeditionary force is critical to EU policy. The author also points out that the …
