W(H)Ither Corps?, D. Robert Worley Dr. Aug 2001

W(H)Ither Corps?, D. Robert Worley Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Army transformation has many dimensions with change in technology, operational methods, and organizations. So far, the focus of organizational transformation has been on the redesign of tactical units such as the interim brigade combat teams. But corps--the Army's operational level organizations--must also be transformed. The author provides a history of the structure and function of Army corps and discusses ways they might be redesigned to play an effective role in the 21st century security environment. He concludes that the different Army corps have such diverse functions that a "one size fits all" approach is inappropriate. After considering a number of …

Jihadi Groups, Nuclear Pakistan, And The New Great Game, M. Ehsan Ahrari Dr. Aug 2001

Jihadi Groups, Nuclear Pakistan, And The New Great Game, M. Ehsan Ahrari Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

For the United States and other nations concerned with security in South and Central Asia, one of the most ominous trends has been the growing influence of Jihadist groups in Pakistan which feel obligated to wage holy war against everything that they perceive as non-Islamic. Their objective would be a Pakistani government similar to the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. The danger this would pose to regional stability and U.S. interests is clear. The author assesses Jihadi groups from the framework of a new "Great Game" for influence in Central Asia involving an array of states. He argues that, if this …


Educating International Security Practitioners: Preparing To Face The Demands Of The 21st Century International Security Environment, Robert H. Dorff Dr., Daniel J. Kaufman Brigadier General, James M. Smith Dr., Linda P. Brady Dr. Jul 2001

Educating International Security Practitioners: Preparing To Face The Demands Of The 21st Century International Security Environment, Robert H. Dorff Dr., Daniel J. Kaufman Brigadier General, James M. Smith Dr., Linda P. Brady Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The authors examine the challenges of the 21st century international security environment to which future strategic leaders and policy practitioners will need to respond. More specifically, they offer the reader insights into security studies and leadership development at their respective levels (military undergraduate, civilian undergraduate, traditional and nontraditional graduate, and senior military officer) and institutions (including research centers and professional outreach programs). The goal is to inform a broader audience about what is currently being done in the way of educating strategic practitioners at these various institutions, and what might need to be done differently or better.

Future Warfare Anthology, Revised Edition, Robert H. Scales Major General Jun 2001

Future Warfare Anthology, Revised Edition, Robert H. Scales Major General

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

This Revised Anthology is about the future of military operations in the opening decades of the 21st century. Its purpose is not to predict the future, but to speculate on the conduct of military operations as an instrument of national policy in a world absent massive thermonuclear and conventional superpower confrontation characteristic of the Cold War. Also absent are indirect constraints imposed by that confrontation on virtually all political-military relationships, not solely those between superpower principals. Most of these essays are attempts to define military operational concepts that might be employed to execute such an engagement strategy.

Fighting The Hobbesian Trinity In Colombia: A New Strategy For Peace, Joseph R. Nunez Colonel Apr 2001

Fighting The Hobbesian Trinity In Colombia: A New Strategy For Peace, Joseph R. Nunez Colonel

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author analyzes the drug intervention conundrum of Colombia. He then summarizes the reasons for the violent and anarchic situation that frustrates those wishing to make peace and expand democracy. After introducing what he calls the Hobbesian trinity, the author discusses alternatives to intervention and notes the complexity of the human rights challenge. He suggests a new strategy for improving human security, government accountability, democratic reform, and peace prospects. The author argues that the current approach is heading the wrong way, moving away from peace and fomenting greater instability. He concludes that there is a window of opportunity for the …


Political Control Over The Use Of Force: A Clausewitzian Perspective, Suzanne C. Nielsen Lieutenant Colonel Apr 2001

Political Control Over The Use Of Force: A Clausewitzian Perspective, Suzanne C. Nielsen Lieutenant Colonel

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The author addresses the issues regarding the ideal relationship between the commander and the statesman in time of war and the balance between political control and military operational expertise by examining what Carl von Clausewitz has to say about civil- military relations and the use of force. She looks in depth at Clausewitz s arguments, reviews his theoretical approach, and discusses four key implications of the basic idea that political purposes govern war. In conclusion, the author suggests that Clausewitz has issued both statesmen and commanders a challenge. Commanders must appreciate the necessity of subordinating military means to political ends, …


The Army And Homeland Security: A Strategic Perspective, Antulio J. Echevarria Ii Mar 2001

The Army And Homeland Security: A Strategic Perspective, Antulio J. Echevarria Ii

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The topic of homeland security includes a broad array of missions and mission areas ranging from national missile defense to military assistance to civil authorities. The topic has recently attracted a great deal of attention due to the public's heightened awareness of the variety and nature of emerging threats and of the United States vulnerabilities to them. The Army Staff was assigned to investigate the Army's role in homeland security from a strategic, rather than a legal or procedural perspective. The author achieves this perspective by placing homeland security missions within the larger spectrum of operations. In so doing, he …
