Redefining Land Power For The 21st Century, William T. Johnsen Dr.
Redefining Land Power For The 21st Century, William T. Johnsen Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Divisive debates over the future force structures of the U.S. Armed Forces have continued despite the Report of the Commission on Roles and Missions for the Armed Forces (May 1995) and the more recent reports of the Quadrennial Defense Review (May 1997) and the National Defense Panel (December 1997). Part of the reason for the bitter nature of these debates is due to parochial partisanship. Part is due to a lack of clear understanding of the individual components of military power or of their collective interrelationships. This latter conclusion may be particularly true for land power. Responsibility for this misunderstanding …
The Creeping Irrelevance Of U.S. Force Planning, Jeffrey Record Dr.
The Creeping Irrelevance Of U.S. Force Planning, Jeffrey Record Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Jeffrey Record examines what he believes is a half-century-old and continuing recession of large-interstate warfare and, since the World War's demise, the unexpected and often violent disintegration of established states. He then addresses the Department of Defense's persistent planning focus on multiple conventional war scenarios, concluding that this focus on the familiar and comfortable is becoming increasingly irrelevant to a world of small wars and MOOTW. The author's critical analysis leads him to propose significant and controversial changes in planning standards, force structure, and defense spending. His thought-provoking analyses, conclusions, and recommendations should fuel further discussion of how America's military …
Conflict And Conflict Resolution In The Sahel: The Tuareg Insurgency In Mali, Kalifa Keita Lieutenant Colonel
Conflict And Conflict Resolution In The Sahel: The Tuareg Insurgency In Mali, Kalifa Keita Lieutenant Colonel
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
June 27, 1990, is a significant date in the recent history of Mali. It marks the beginning of what Malians call "The Second Tuareg Rebellion." The first had been staged against the post-colonial Malian government in 1963. The national government had suppressed that rebellion with harsh coercive measures, and the Tuaregs continued to nurture grievances. The second Tuareg rebellion coincided in the early 1990s with turbulent political developments in Malian society as a whole. It soon was clear that Mali's stability and progress were contingent on ending the insurgency. This, in turn, required a solution to Tuareg grievances. By the …

Ay 97 Compendium Army After Next Project, Douglas V. Johnson Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
These student papers are largely focused on present problems which must be solved before movement toward the future can make much progress. If they are not dramatically futuristic in approach, they are nevertheless set against a future backdrop which is still in the process of being defined. The broader Army After Next program, led by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, is an experiment, an examination of what could be. The Army War College seeks to play its part through this contribution and by educating those officers who will field, staff, and command our future Army.
The Age Of Revolutions, Claudia Kennedy Lieutenant General
The Age Of Revolutions, Claudia Kennedy Lieutenant General
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Lieutenant General Claudia Kennedy, the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, postulates a future world where challenges to the national security and national interests of the United States will come from many sources. Not only will the armed forces of the United States have to be prepared to counter attacks by nation-states with armed forces equipped with modern weapons, they must also be ready to address a wide range of challenges across the spectrum from urban warlords to narco-terrorists. Today there is a great deal of talk about focusing on the high end of the threat and relying on …

Five-Dimensional (Cyber) Warfighting: Can The Army After Next Be Defeated Through Complex Concepts And Technologies?, Robert J. Bunker Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The theme for the U.S. Army War College's Ninth Annual Strategy Conference (April 1998) is "Challenging the United States Symmetrically and Asymmetrically: Can America Be Defeated?" Dr. Robert J. Bunker of California State University, San Bernardino, answers the question with an emphatic "yes." He expounds a scenario in which a future enemy (BlackFor) concedes that the U.S. Army's (BlueFor) superior technology, advanced weaponry, and proven record of success in recent military operations make it virtually invulnerable to conventional forms of symmetric attack. Therefore, BlackFor seeks asymmetric ways to obviate BlueFor's advantages. Dr. Bunker's scenario frontally assaults some of the premises …
Russia's Armed Forces On The Brink Of Reform, Stephen J. Blank Dr.
Russia's Armed Forces On The Brink Of Reform, Stephen J. Blank Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Despite over a dozen years of talk, the Soviet and now Russian military has not undergone a true military reform. What did happen was a form of degeneration and disintegration, but not a methodically planned and directed transformation and/or adaptation to new conditions. Consequently, defense policy, in all of its ramifications, has remained essentially unreformed and remains an impediment to Russia's accommodation to today's strategic realities. This study presents an assessment of Russian defense policy as Russia has begun, in late 1997 and 1998, to grapple with the enormous challenges that inhere in the process of military reform. The outcome …

World View: The 1998 Strategic Assessment From The Strategic Studies Institute, Earl H. Tilford Dr.
World View: The 1998 Strategic Assessment From The Strategic Studies Institute, Earl H. Tilford Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
World View presents the annual strategic assessments of the analysts at the Strategic Studies Institute. It is fifth in a series that reflects both our individual forecasts and collective review of the key security issues facing the United States. The process that produces World View also leads to our annual Research and Outreach Plan. The strategic context is not vastly changed for 1998. It is as complex and uncertain as it has been virtually every year since the end of the Cold War. This year, however, we are also assessing the future in the light of the Quadrennial Defense Review, …

Force Planning Considerations For Army Xxi, William T. Johnsen Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The U.S. Army has moved along the path of preparing for the 21st century. This process began with the conceptual examinations and assessments carried out under the "Louisiana Maneuvers" and the Army's Battle Labs, and matured through the Force XXI process. The Army recently completed its first series of Advanced Warfighting Experiments that will shape the redesign and restructure of the future force, Army XXI, for the early years of the new millennium. While the broad outlines of Army XXI have been sketched out, many of the details remain to be filled in. Undoubtedly, these efforts will be influenced by …
Joint U.S. Army-Navy War Planning On The Eve Of The First World War, Adolf Carlson Colonel
Joint U.S. Army-Navy War Planning On The Eve Of The First World War, Adolf Carlson Colonel
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
All the histories of the First World War devote considerable attention to the impact of war plans and war planners—how in the foreign relations among the great powers war plans became factors in their own right. Many of these plans revealed volumes about the attitudes of the officers who wrote them, from the offensive a l’outrance of French plan XVII to the cold calculation of the Schlieffen plan, which called for the invasion of an unoffensive neutral country to achieve a military advantage.
Americans usually exclude themselves when they discuss the pre-war military plans, but there were U.S. war plans …

Problems And Solutions In Future Coalition Operations, Phillip Kaiser Mr., Jon Kessmeier Mr., Thomas J. Marshall Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Each year, the United States Army, Europe (USAREUR) undertakes a conference-study program on a matter of strategic significance, with several objectives. The topic relates to USAREUR’s mission; anticipates future requirements; contributes toward building democratic norms within the militaries of emerging democracies; and serves to inform the USAREUR staff, higher headquarters and other U.S. Government agencies of active measures to improve current practices. Examples of topics in the last several years are Preventive Diplomacy, Planning and Conducting Large Scale Emergency Operations, and Military Support to Democratization in Europe.
In 1996, USAREUR undertook to study “Problems and Solutions in Future Coalition Operations.” …
Shadow Politics: The Russian State In The 21st Century, Peter J. Stavrakis Dr.
Shadow Politics: The Russian State In The 21st Century, Peter J. Stavrakis Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
In April the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute hosted its Eighth Annual Strategy Conference at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The theme for the 1997 Strategy Conference was "Russia's Future as a World Power." For two days, scholars, military professionals, and policymakers from the United States, Europe, and Russia engaged in a very useful exchange of ideas and viewpoints. Dr. Peter J. Stavrakis, of the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, describes the emergence in Russia of a kind of oligarchic capitalism, controlled by old political elites, and thriving amidst an extra-legal "parallel shadow government." In short, rather than a …

The United States And The Transformation Of African Security: The African Crisis Response Initiative And Beyond, Daniel W. Henk Col, Steven Metz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Helping Africans develop a capability to avoid or solve their region's security problems has reemerged recently as an important goal of American strategy, and the African Crisis Response Initiative (ACRI) is its centerpiece. Based on their testimony presented to the Africa Subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on International Relations, this study by Dr. Steven Metz and Colonel Dan Henk of the U.S. Army War College examines the ACRI. Significantly, it does so by placing the ACRI in a wider, long-term strategic context.
The Cincs' Strategies: The Combatant Command Process, William W. Mendel Col (Ret), Graham H. Turbiville Dr.
The Cincs' Strategies: The Combatant Command Process, William W. Mendel Col (Ret), Graham H. Turbiville Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The authors report their observations of the different ways combatant commanders-in-chief (CINCs) produce a strategy document, and suggest that new joint doctrine is needed to bring a degree of regularity and orderliness to the CINCs' strategic planning process. The CINCs' Strategies: The Combatant Command Process provides a brief look at the CINCs' strategy objectives and concepts in order to place the planning process in context. The focus of the study, however, is on the process itself as it exists and could be further developed. With our National Security and National Military Strategies so clearly directed toward shaping the international environment, …

Multinational Land Formations And Nato: Reforming Practices And Structures, Thomas-Durell Young Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The problems Dr. Young grapples with in this account have been exacerbated by a variety of evolving realities stemming from the new, post-Cold War security environment. Reduced national force structures, new NATO roles and missions emanating from the military implementation of Alliance Strategy and the rapid reaction requirements associated with the embryonic Combined Joint Task Forces (CJTF) Concept are but three of a multitude of inter-related issues which have driven the requirement to address NATO force structure requirements as a whole, as part of the ongoing internal adaptation of Alliance structures and procedures.
