Chinese Information Warfare: A Phantom Menace Or Emerging Threat?, Toshi Yoshihara Mr.
Chinese Information Warfare: A Phantom Menace Or Emerging Threat?, Toshi Yoshihara Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author explores what he perceives to be China s pursuit of information warfare (IW) as a method of fighting asymmetric warfare against the United States. He believes the Chinese are seeking ways to adapt IW to their own style of warfare. Paradoxically, he observes that the Chinese have not gleaned their intelligence through espionage, but through careful scrutiny of U.S. IW in practice. The author examines those aspects of IW--PSYOPS, Denial, and Deception--that China believes provides the greatest prospects for victory in a conflict. Not surprisingly, Sun Tzu is interwoven into this emerging theory. Targeting the enemy s nervous …
Rapid Decisive Operations: An Assumptions-Based Critique, Antulio J. Echevarria Dr.
Rapid Decisive Operations: An Assumptions-Based Critique, Antulio J. Echevarria Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
In support of the Joint community's efforts to develop a viable operational concept, the author argues that the Rapid Decisive Operations (RDO) concepts developers deserve high praise for attempting to link two relative properties--speed and decisiveness--but that the definition of RDO is at present incoherent and based on several deeply flawed assumptions. The author concludes that RDO creates dubious expectations and will likely fail to balance the strengths and weaknesses introduced by new technologies. He further recommends a method for identifying and addressing an operational concept s critical assumptions.

The Costs Of Conflict: The Impact On China Of A Future War, Andrew Scobell Dr.
The Costs Of Conflict: The Impact On China Of A Future War, Andrew Scobell Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
It is increasingly important for Americans to think carefully about the vast complexities of the U.S.-China relationship, and the calculations that go into forming courses of action. The key question is: will China s so-called first priority of economic development and its resulting influence on domestic social stability curtail China s continuing reliance on military force as a means of exerting its influence? In addition, will economic development enhance China s comprehensive national power and thus contribute to some of China s more unhealthy goals, such as dominating the South China Seas, seizing Taiwan by force, or grabbing the Senkaku …
Soldiers In Cities: Military Operations On Urban Terrain, Michael Desch Dr.
Soldiers In Cities: Military Operations On Urban Terrain, Michael Desch Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
In the past half-century, the classic military conflict of armies maneuvering in the field has been replaced by conflicts that center on, rather than avoid, heavily populated areas. Modern military conflict more frequently is not just a fight to control villages or cities, but a variation on the timeless wish to control populations and the hearts of nations. The hardware and mass orientation of the levee en masse and industrial-age armies is being replaced by sophisticated terrorists, information warfare, and the politics of mass persuasion. These are reshaping the face of warfare. This book focuses on identifying the lessons of …

Toward A Strategy Of Positive Ends, Antulio J. Echevarria Dr., Huba Wass De Czege Brigadier General (Ret.)
Toward A Strategy Of Positive Ends, Antulio J. Echevarria Dr., Huba Wass De Czege Brigadier General (Ret.)
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Brigadier General (Retired) Huba Wass de Czege and Lieutenant Colonel Antulio J. Echevarria II make a case for a strategy aimed at achieving positive, rather than neutral or negative, ends. They first discuss the dynamic conditions of the new strategic environment, then explore the options the United States has available for dealing with those conditions. The options include (1) preventive defense, (2) neo-isolationism, and (3) a strategy that pursues positive ends. Only the last, the authors argue, deals with the new security environment in a proactive way. It enables the United States to define its vital interests in terms of …
Preparing For Asymmetry: As Seen Through The Lens Of Joint Vision 2020, Melissa Applegate Ms.
Preparing For Asymmetry: As Seen Through The Lens Of Joint Vision 2020, Melissa Applegate Ms.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Since the mid-1990s, the concept of strategic asymmetry has begun to receive serious attention from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The 1997 Quadrennial Defense Review, for instance, stated, "U.S. dominance in the conventional military arena may encourage adversaries to use…asymmetric means to attack our forces and interests overseas and Americans at home." But while American strategists and defense leaders sense the importance of strategy asymmetry, much analytical work remains to be done before it is fully understood. The author assesses the revisions to Joint Vision 2020, DOD's roadmap to the future, that must be undertaken in order to prepare …
Funding Defense: Challenges Of Buying Military Capability In Sub-Saharan Africa, Martin Revayi Rupiya Dr., Daniel W. Henk Col
Funding Defense: Challenges Of Buying Military Capability In Sub-Saharan Africa, Martin Revayi Rupiya Dr., Daniel W. Henk Col
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Martin Rupiya, Director of the University of Zimbabwe's Centre for Defence Studies, and Daniel Henk of the Air War College provide one of the first comprehensive studies of defense budgeting practices in Africa. They assess both the problems with these practices and fruitful avenues of reform. By doing so, they provide a solid roadmap both for African leaders and for Americans concerned with the development of greater security in the region.
Internal Wars: Rethinking Problem And Response, Max G. Manwaring Dr.
Internal Wars: Rethinking Problem And Response, Max G. Manwaring Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Asymmetric guerrilla war—insurgencies, internal wars, and other small-scale contingencies (SSCs)—are the most pervasive and likely type of conflict in the post-Cold War era. It is almost certain that the United States will become involved directly or indirectly in some of these conflicts. Yet, there appears to be little or no recognition and application of the strategic-level lessons of the Vietnam War and the hundreds of other smaller conflicts that have taken place over the past several years. The author draws from the lessons of the recent past to better prepare today's civilian and military leaders to meet the unconventional and …
