America's Army: Preparing For Tomorrow's Security Challenges, Robert H. Scales Major General

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

During the early decades of the 21st Century, the Army of 2025 will differ from today's Army in two distinct ways. First, it will achieve unprecedented strategic and operational speed by exploiting information technologies to create a knowledge-based organization. Second, it will exhibit tremendous flexibility and physical agility through streamlined, seamlessly integrated organizations that use new tactics and procedures. The collective result will be a versatile, full spectrum, capabilities-based force that can decisively respond to any future global contingency. As the world begins a new age and a new century, the Army is preparing for the next kind of war …

China's Military Potential, Larry M. Wortzel Dr. Oct 1998

China's Military Potential, Larry M. Wortzel Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

This monograph provides an appraisal of the ability of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to build a credible military force in the 21st century. The author examines a complicated set of factors, which when taken together, equates to potential military power in China's case. Perhaps foremost among these factors is the PRC's current economic success and whether Beijing can transfer it to the military sphere. Colonel Wortzel concludes that China could become a military power in every sense, but the greater likelihood is that the PRC will be overcome by internal problems. Nonetheless, the growth in China's military potential …


The Economic Crisis And Asean States' Security, Sheldon W. Simon Dr. Oct 1998

The Economic Crisis And Asean States' Security, Sheldon W. Simon Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Asia's financial crisis has quickly become a global one. Its implications far transcend purely economic or financial considerations. In fact, the crisis that began with the fall of Thailand's Baht in 1997 now embraces the entire world and has caused governments to fall in Asia and Russia. To understand the dynamics of the crisis and its consequences for U.S. security, the Strategic Studies Institute and the National Bureau of Research on Asia organized a conference in Seattle, Washington, on June 9-10, 1998. At that conference Professor Sheldon Simon presented this paper. He outlines the impact of this crisis on the …

Defining U.S. Atlantic Command's Role In The Power Projection Strategy, Douglas C. Lovelace Professor, Thomas-Durell Young Dr. Aug 1998

Defining U.S. Atlantic Command's Role In The Power Projection Strategy, Douglas C. Lovelace Professor, Thomas-Durell Young Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The authors of this monograph argue that the lynch-pin in the power projection strategy of the United States is a completely transformed U.S. Atlantic Command (USACOM). The monograph details how USACOM has been allowed to "evolve" since its inception in 1993 but is yet to achieve its full potential for implementing the CONUS-based power projection strategy. Recognizing USACOM as a principal actor in support of this new strategy, the authors recommend that USACOM should be further transformed into a "Joint Forces Command." Their analysis exposes the need for a significant review of Title 10 of the U.S. Code and a …


Breaking Away From The Bear, Dianne L. Smith Ltc Aug 1998

Breaking Away From The Bear, Dianne L. Smith Ltc

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Lieutenant Colonel Dianne L. Smith examines the development of post-Soviet Central Asian armed forces, Central Asian efforts to guarantee their national security, and the implications for the United States of this struggle. She cautions that the United States use its influence and its military-to-military contact programs judiciously. This is a region of great instability, with massive infusions of energy wealth just beyond the horizon. If these states can create viable methods to ensure domestic and regional security, this wealth may produce prosperity and secure well-being for their citizens. If these states fail to create institutions to preserve their national sovereignty, …

Challenging The United States Symmetrically And Asymmetrically: Can America Be Defeated?, Lloyd J. Matthews Colonel

Halt Phase Strategy: New Wine In Old Skins . . . With Powerpoint, Earl H. Tilford Dr. Jul 1998

Halt Phase Strategy: New Wine In Old Skins . . . With Powerpoint, Earl H. Tilford Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Analyzes the Halt Phase Strategy/Doctrine currently advocated by the Air Force. As a part of his analysis, the author traces the immediate origins of Report of the Quadrennial Defense Review. Dr. Tilford contends, however, that Halt's real origins are more closely identified with intrinsic Air Force strategic bombing doctrine, and are to be found in strategies associated with atomic and nuclear deterrence and warfighting. Thus, he concludes that Halt is really "new wine in old skins" being presented today more aggressively because of rapid technological advances.


Nonlethality And American Land Power: Strategic Context And Operational Concepts, Douglas C. Lovelace Professor, Steven Metz Dr. Jun 1998

Nonlethality And American Land Power: Strategic Context And Operational Concepts, Douglas C. Lovelace Professor, Steven Metz Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Nonlethal technology, concepts and doctrine may provide the Army a way to retain its political utility and military effectiveness in a security environment characterized by ambiguity and the glare of world public opinion. To explore this, the Army is undertaking programs and initiatives which may make it the driving force in nonlethality. The authors place nonlethality within its larger strategic context and explain how it is related to the revolution in military affairs. They then assess the arguments for and against the integration of nonlethality into American doctrine and procedures. Finally, they offer operational concepts which could serve as the …
