Chinese Army Building In The Era Of Jiang Zemin, Andrew Scobell Dr.
Chinese Army Building In The Era Of Jiang Zemin, Andrew Scobell Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
To many in the United States, China looms large and threatening. This monograph attempts to answer, through an analysis of China's defense establishment under the leadership of Jiang Zemin, questions such as: What are the national security and national military goals of China's leaders? What strategies are Chinese leaders considering in pursuit of these goals? What is the likelihood that these goals will be attained? It assesses the political and economic determinants of China s effort to modernize its armed forces. Four possible strategies are outlined: (1) playing the superpower game," (2) playing to its strengths," (3) changing the rules …

The Pla And The Kosovo Conflict, June Teufel-Dreyer Dr.
The Pla And The Kosovo Conflict, June Teufel-Dreyer Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The U.S. armed forces are not the only military that has sought to discern the lessons of the Kosovo campaign in the spring of 1999. The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has also analyzed the conflict and drawn its own conclusions. In fact, as Dr. June Teufel Dreyer, Professor of Political Science at the University of Miami in Florida, observes, rather than reach a single set of conclusions, different groups within the Chinese military drew different judgments. Dr. Dreyer argues that these differences of opinion reflect the considerable diversity of thinking about defense modernization and future war that exists within …
The United States And Colombia: Untying The Gordian Knot, David Passage Ambassador
The United States And Colombia: Untying The Gordian Knot, David Passage Ambassador
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Twenty-five years after the end of the Vietnam War, the ghost of that war still haunts the corridors of the decision makers when it comes to making long-term commitments to situations that remotely resemble anything like our Indochina experience. That is the case in with Colombia, which is embroiled in an internecine struggle with two guerrilla movements bent on overthrowing the government as well as from narcotraffickers. The author details the complicated but increasingly clear nexus between the political and social insurgencies and the drug traffickers. This, he maintains, has obliged a highly reluctant United States to reexamine whether its …
The United States And Latin America: Shaping An Elusive Future, Donald E. Schulz Dr.
The United States And Latin America: Shaping An Elusive Future, Donald E. Schulz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The demise of the Cold War has produced not an "End of History" but a "New World Disorder," which may well become more tumultuous in the decades ahead. Thus, it is crucial at this turn of the millennium to reconsider the prospects for regional security, the challenges that both new and old dangers may pose to U.S. interests, and the kind of strategy and policies that might enable the United States to both better cope with current problems and head off those that are just over the horizon.
The author first analyzes U.S. security interests in Latin America, then goes …
Prevailing In A Well-Armed World: Devising Competitive Strategies Against Weapons Proliferation, Henry D. Sokolski Mr.
Prevailing In A Well-Armed World: Devising Competitive Strategies Against Weapons Proliferation, Henry D. Sokolski Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This book provides insights into the competitive strategies methodology. Andrew Marshall notes that policymakers and analysts can benefit by using an analytical tool that stimulates their thinking about strategy in terms of long-term competition between nations with conflicting values, policies, and objectives. The book also demonstrates the strengths of the competitive strategies approach as an instrument for examining U.S. policy. The method focuses on policies regarding the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In shaping the international environment in the next millennium, no other national security issue seems as complex or important. The imperative here is to look to competitive …

Future Leadership, Old Issues, New Methods, Douglas V. Johnson Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Each year, the Army After Next Seminar students are asked to orient their Strategy Research Papers on topics appropriate to the programs 30-years in the future focus. Thirty years ago, the United States Army was deeply involved in Vietnam and in the Cold War. Officers could reasonably expect to serve repetitive tours in Southeast Asia interspersed with tours along either the Korean Demilitarized Zone or the Inter-German Border. The tension between sometimes guerrilla, sometimes major warfare in the Pacific and the prospects of nuclear war in Europe made any prognostications of a future like that which we currently enjoy an …
Armed Conflict In The 21st Century: The Information Revolution And Post-Modern Warfare, Steven Metz Dr.
Armed Conflict In The 21st Century: The Information Revolution And Post-Modern Warfare, Steven Metz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Within the past decade, the U.S. military has implemented a number of programs to assess the changes underway in the global security environment and in the nature of warfare. Defense leaders and thinkers have concluded that revolutionary change is taking place and, if the United States develops appropriate technology, warfighting concepts, and military organizations, it can master or control this change, thus augmenting American security. Dr. Steven Metz suggests that official thinking within the U.S. military may be too narrow. The information revolution, he contends, will have far-reaching strategic effects. The transformation it brings will not only be technological, but …

Refining American Strategy In Africa, Steven Metz Dr.
Refining American Strategy In Africa, Steven Metz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author provides a broad overview of the African security environment as a basis for recommendations on the refinement of American strategy in that region. He assesses both the opportunities for positive change which exist today, and the obstacles. While only Africans themselves can determine the future of their region, an American strategy which discourages proxy aggression, encourages private initiatives in the economic and political spheres, and uses the U.S. military, particularly the Army, to engage its African counterparts could pay great dividends. American defense strategy calls for using the military to help shape the global security environment, preempting and …

Army Professionalism, The Military Ethic, And Officership In The 21st Century, John A. Nagl Major, C. Anthony Pfaff Dr., Don M. Snider Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The authors address what they—and many others—perceived to be a decline in military professionalism in the Army officer corps. The authors first describe the ethical, technical, and political components of military professionalism and then address the causes for the decline. They conclude by proposing a set of principles which, if adhered to, will reinvigorate the vision of the officer corps and motivate the corps to selfless service.
The Chinese Armed Forces In The 21st Century, Larry M. Wortzel Dr.
The Chinese Armed Forces In The 21st Century, Larry M. Wortzel Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This book is a serious look at the armed forces of China and how they will evolve. The chapters in this volume were developed from papers prepared for the eighth in a series of conferences on the People's Liberation Army (PLA). The people at the conferences were recognized experts on armed forces and security matters in China drawn from academia, government, the military, and policy think tanks. Each chapter author was challenged to envision some aspect of the Chinese armed forces into the next century. The goal was to paint a realistic view of how domestic and international pressures would …

China's Strategic Modernization: Implications For The United States, Mark A. Stokes Major
China's Strategic Modernization: Implications For The United States, Mark A. Stokes Major
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Conventional wisdom portrays the People's Republic of China (PRC) People's Liberation Army (PLA) as a backward continental force that will not pose a military challenge to its neighbors or to the United States well into the 21st century. PLA writings that demonstrate interest in exploiting the revolution in military affairs (RMA) are dismissed by a large segment of the PLA- watching community as wistful fantasies. The author offers an alternative perspective by outlining emerging PLA operational concepts and a range of research and development projects that appear to have been heavily influenced by U.S. and Russian writings on the RMA. …

Security And Civil-Military Relations In The New World Disorder: The Use Of Armed Forces In The Americas, Max G. Manwaring Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
In December 1998, the U.S. Army War College joined with the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army and the George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University to cosponsor a conference entitled "The Use of Land Forces in the Americas." It was held on December 15, 1998, at the Bush School and was hosted by the President of Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Lieutenant General Marc Cisneros, USA (Retired). The various presentations, the level and scope of participation, the candor of the dialogue, the outstanding support provided by the cosponsors, and the relaxed atmosphere generated by the …

America's Army In Transition: Preparing For War In The Precision Age, Robert H. Scales Major General
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The following two articles were written during and immediately after the war in Kosovo. The first is an adaptation of an earlier work written after a trip to Asia in 1998. In that essay, I suggested that foreign militaries were beginning to perceive our fixation on a firepower-centered way of war as an exploitable weakness. In fact, some states, armed with experience gained against us in real war, had already begun to evolve a doctrine to counter our superiority in precision. These potential adversaries concluded that dispersion, deception, patience and a willingness to absorb punishment offered them the means to …
The Growing Imperative To Adopt "Flexibility" As An American Principle Of War, Robert S. Frost Lieutenant Colonel
The Growing Imperative To Adopt "Flexibility" As An American Principle Of War, Robert S. Frost Lieutenant Colonel
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author makes it clear that he is not interested in throwing out the old tried and true existing Principles of War, he only wants thought given to their expansion to include a principle of Flexibility. After all, the hallmark of the course of instruction at the U.S. Army War College is the new environment in which its graduates should expect to operate--an environment that we at the War College characterize as vague, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. In such an environment, the author argues, Flexibility must be an operating principle, and it would serve all the services well to recognize …
