The Future Roles Of U.S. Military Power And Their Implications, William T. Johnsen Dr. Apr 1997

The Future Roles Of U.S. Military Power And Their Implications, William T. Johnsen Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

As the daily headlines attest, the Department of Defense is in the midst of a Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). Charged by Congress, the Department of Defense is examining a broad range of issues concerning U.S. military policy and strategy (inter alia, future national defense strategy, the force structure necessary to implement that strategy, the affects of technology on force structure, and the anticipated roles and missions of the Reserve Components in executing the defense strategy) that will have far-reaching consequences for the United States. Before these crucial issues are addressed, however, a more fundamental question needs to be explored: what …


Strategic Horizons: The Military Implications Of Alternative Futures, Steven Metz Dr. Mar 1997

Strategic Horizons: The Military Implications Of Alternative Futures, Steven Metz Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

A year ago the Chief of Staff of the Army initiated the Army After Next Project (AANP) as a means of stimulating constructive thinking about the Army's future throughout the service. AANP has quickly developed into a primary vehicle for long-range planning. Under the leadership of the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), the AANP has conducted an ambitious program of studies, symposia and workshops, culminating in a Winter War Game and Senior Seminar held at Carlisle, January 27-February 6, 1997. A key line of initial inquiry for us has been to forecast the nature of the future security environment in …

World View: The 1997 Strategic Assessment From The Strategic Studies Institute, Earl H. Tilford Dr. Jan 1997

World View: The 1997 Strategic Assessment From The Strategic Studies Institute, Earl H. Tilford Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

In December of each year the analysts at the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) look to the year ahead to assess the strategic equation for their particular areas of interest. This is part of an effort to focus our priorities both corporately as well as individually. As they address those issues and factors that will affect U.S. national security strategy over the next 12-18 months, our analysts are also forced to think about the next decade. The strategic context in 1997 will be quite similar to that of 1996 in that it remains complex and uncertain. This year, however, the way …


The Chemical Weapons Convention: Strategic Implications For The United States, Frederick J. Vogel Mr. Jan 1997

The Chemical Weapons Convention: Strategic Implications For The United States, Frederick J. Vogel Mr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

On January 13, 1993, in Paris, 130 countries signed the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) to ban the entire class of chemical weapons. Many of those nations have since ratified it. In this country, debate continues on the strategic implications of the convention, as drafted, and whether it is in the U.S. national security interest. Once gain, that debate comes before the Senate for ratification consideration in 1997. Frederick Vogel explores the historical, moral, and legal aspects of chemical warfare, and the strategic implications of the convention, including operational, policy, constitutional, and industrial impact for the United States. He concludes that, …


Asian Security To The Year 2000, Dianne L. Smith Ltc, Abraham Kim Mr., Marc Jason Gilbert Prof., Perry L. Wood Mr. Dec 1996

Asian Security To The Year 2000, Dianne L. Smith Ltc, Abraham Kim Mr., Marc Jason Gilbert Prof., Perry L. Wood Mr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

In January 1996, the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) hosted a conference on "Asian Security to the Year 2000." No region of the world has greater potential for expanded influence on American interests. This compendium of papers from the conference examines the security policies being pursued by many of the key Asian actors--China, the Koreas, Pakistan, and the nations of Southeast Asia, particularly those in ASEAN. The contributors to this volume paint the picture of a dynamic and diverse Asia on the verge of the new century. Each …


Force, Statecraft And German Unity: The Struggle To Adapt Institutions And Practices, Thomas-Durell Young Dr. Dec 1996

Force, Statecraft And German Unity: The Struggle To Adapt Institutions And Practices, Thomas-Durell Young Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

One can make two general observations concerning Bonn's ongoing attempt to adapt institutions and practices. First, confusion in German policy making is clearly a manifestation of officials largely navigating in a little-known policy milieu. Realpolitik, let alone Machtpolitik (either as mere terms, let alone as concepts) are neither freely used in "polite" political discord in Germany, nor widely contemplated. As a result of a wide-spread political culture governed by self-restraint, confronting difficult issues in their proper context has made decision making frequently complicated and confusing to outside observers. What we are presently witnessing is a learning period in German external …

Managing Strains In The Coalition: What To Do About Saddam?, Stephen C. Pelletiere Dr. Nov 1996

Managing Strains In The Coalition: What To Do About Saddam?, Stephen C. Pelletiere Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

For 5 years U.S. policy has managed to steer a coalition of states which share broad interests in regional stability and free trade. Yet below these common interests, the United States has walked a tightrope stretched between competing objectives vis-à-vis Iraq, e.g., undermining Saddam while preserving Iraq as a counterweight to Iran; protecting the Kurds while not promoting their independence. Time, however, has a habit of eroding international coalitions and exposing seams in the details of policy. Iraq's September 1996 actions in the Kurdish north found such a seam in coalition objectives, or, to return to the original metaphor, shook …


The Strategist And The Web Revisited: An Updated Guide To Internet Resources, Steven Metz Dr., James Kievit Ltc Oct 1996

The Strategist And The Web Revisited: An Updated Guide To Internet Resources, Steven Metz Dr., James Kievit Ltc

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Every day of the "Information Age" makes more material available via the Internet. Yet simply "surfing the 'Net'," while perhaps enjoyable as recreation, is ill-suited for rapidly locating valid, salient information. This is particularly true for analysts or military professionals seeking to develop strategy, to research national security issues, or to provide policy advice. With the original edition of this essay in February 1996, James Kievit and Steven Metz began an effort to construct guideposts for strategic thinkers and practitioners to follow when travelling the "information superhighway." That such a "travel guide" is valuable is amply demonstrated by the rapidity …


Managing A Changing Relationship: China's Japan Policy In The 1990s, Robert S. Ross Prof. Sep 1996

Managing A Changing Relationship: China's Japan Policy In The 1990s, Robert S. Ross Prof.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

In April 1996, the Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute held its Seventh Annual Strategy Conference. This year's theme was, "China into the 21st Century: Strategic Partner and…or Peer Competitor." The author of the following monograph, Dr. Robert S. Ross, of Harvard University's Fairbank Center for East Asian Research, argues that Japan's relationship with China is a key element in the evolving East Asian security structure. From Beijing's perspective, China's Japan policy rivals its relationship with the United States in relative strategic importance. Japan's economic strength and its potential military power make it a major factor in Chinese security calculations. …
