Strategic Implications For The United States And Latin America Of The 1995 Ecuador-Peru War, Gabriel Marcella Dr. Nov 1995

Strategic Implications For The United States And Latin America Of The 1995 Ecuador-Peru War, Gabriel Marcella Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

One of the more serious dangers to peace and security in Latin America is the territorial dispute between Ecuador and Peru, which broke out into warfare in February-March 1995. In this monograph, Dr. Gabriel Marcella explores the critical historical and strategic dimensions of the conflict. He argues that unless this age-old dispute is settled amicably and soon, it could very well generate a more disastrous war in the future. Dr. Marcella proposes a basis for settlement and provides specific policy recommendations for the United States and the inter-American community.


Strategic Plans, Joint Doctrine And Antipodean Insights, Douglas C. Lovelace Professor, Thomas-Durell Young Dr. Oct 1995

Strategic Plans, Joint Doctrine And Antipodean Insights, Douglas C. Lovelace Professor, Thomas-Durell Young Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

This is the second in an analytical series on joint issues. It follows the authors' U.S. Department of Defense Strategic Planning: The Missing Nexus, in which they articulated the need for more formal joint strategic plans. This essay examines the effect such plans would have on joint doctrine development and illustrates the potential benefits evident in Australian defense planning. Doctrine and planning share an iterative development process. The common view is that doctrine persists over a broader time frame than planning and that the latter draws on the former for context, syntax, even format. In truth the very process of …


Yugoslavia's Wars: The Problem From Hell, Stephen J. Blank Dr. Oct 1995

Yugoslavia's Wars: The Problem From Hell, Stephen J. Blank Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The continuing warfare in the former Yugoslavia looms as one of the most intractable problems in contemporary world politics. For four years the international community has struggled merely to contain this fire and prevent it from inflaming a general European crisis. Only now does there seem a real chance of extinguishing it. By late 1994, it was apparent that the danger of continued fighting could fracture the NATO Alliance and lead to the spread of the wars in the former Yugoslavia. Bearing this possibility in mind, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI), U.S. Army War College, convened its second annual roundtable …


U.S. Department Of Defense Strategic Planning: The Missing Nexus, Douglas C. Lovelace Professor, Thomas-Durell Young Dr. Sep 1995

U.S. Department Of Defense Strategic Planning: The Missing Nexus, Douglas C. Lovelace Professor, Thomas-Durell Young Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The authors define a formal strategic plan: one that contains specific strategic objectives, offers a clear and executable strategy for achieving objectives, illuminates force capability requirements, and is harmonized with the Future Years Defense Program. They discuss the reasons why a strategic plan is needed and the value it would have in coherently connecting the guidance provided by the National Command Authorities to the integrated activities of the unified commands, the Services, and other components of DoD. They conclude by examining three alternatives to improve the strategic planning processes and to facilitate efficient development of strategic plans. They settle on …


The Principles Of War In The 21st Century: Strategic Considerations, Steven Metz Dr., Douglas C. Lovelace Professor, Douglas V. Johnson Dr., William T. Johnsen Dr. Aug 1995

The Principles Of War In The 21st Century: Strategic Considerations, Steven Metz Dr., Douglas C. Lovelace Professor, Douglas V. Johnson Dr., William T. Johnsen Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

For nearly two centuries, the principles of war have guided practitioners of the military art. During the last 55 years the principles of war have been a key element of U.S. Army doctrine, and recently they have been incorporated into other Service and Joint doctrines. The turn of the 21st century and the dawn of what some herald as the "Information Age," however, may call into question whether principles originally derived in the 19th century and based on the experience of "Industrial Age" armed forces still hold. Moreover, despite their long existence, the applicability of the principles of war at …


U.S. Policy In The Balkans: A Hobson's Choice, Stephen J. Blank Dr., William T. Johnsen Dr., Earl H. Tilford Dr. Aug 1995

U.S. Policy In The Balkans: A Hobson's Choice, Stephen J. Blank Dr., William T. Johnsen Dr., Earl H. Tilford Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

At this writing, the strategic balance may have shifted in the ongoing war in the former Yugoslavia, and the region could be on the verge of a settlement. But, the "window of opportunity" may be fleeting, and the failures and frustrations of the past four years temper any optimism that conflict in the former Yugoslavia will end quickly or completely. If this opening passes without an end to the fighting, the United States may have to reassess its fundamental policy objectives and the ways and means to achieve them if peace is to be effected in the Balkans. The intent …
