What Next For Russia’S Front-Line States?, Keir Giles Mr.
What Next For Russia’S Front-Line States?, Keir Giles Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Russia’s annexation of Crimea and intervention in Eastern Ukraine in 2014, alarmed not only Western-leaning states in Central Europe and the Baltic but also Moscow’s traditional allies. These events signaled that Moscow is now willing and capable of using direct military force against perceived strategic threats in its self-proclaimed region of vested interests. With the exception of Ukraine and the Baltic States, this Letort Paper examines how Russia’s front-line states have adjusted their foreign policy posture since 2014. Belarus, Moldova, the states of Central Asia and the South Caucasus calculate the benefits and risks in their relationship with Moscow and …
Implications Of Service Cyberspace Component Commands For Army Cyberspace Operations, Jeffrey L. Caton
Implications Of Service Cyberspace Component Commands For Army Cyberspace Operations, Jeffrey L. Caton
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The first 7 years of U.S. Cyber Command operations are paved with milestones that mark the steady operationalization of modern cyberspace as the newest domain of military conflict as well as a realm of international power. The creation of the Cyber Mission Force and Joint Force Headquarters-Cyber are significant steps toward improving the timeliness and effectiveness of cyberspace operations that directly support combatant commands and the whole-of-government responses to cyberspace threats. It focuses on the central question: “What is the context in which different military services approach cyberspace component operations internally as well as with the Department of Defense?”
Contemporary Chemical Weapons Use In Syria And Iraq By The Assad Regime And The Islamic State, Robert J. Bunker Dr.
Contemporary Chemical Weapons Use In Syria And Iraq By The Assad Regime And The Islamic State, Robert J. Bunker Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph focuses on an understudied, but yet a critically important and timely component of land warfare, related to the battlefield use of chemical weapons by contemporary threat forces. It will do so by focusing on two case studies related to chemical weapons use in Syria and Iraq by the Assad regime and the Islamic State. Initially, the monograph provides an overview of the chemical warfare capabilities of these two entities; discusses selected incidents of chemical weapons use each has perpetrated; provides analysis and lessons learned concerning these chemical weapons incidents, their programs, and the capabilities of the Assad regime …
Examining The Roles Of Army Reserve Component Forces In Military Cyberspace Operations, Jeffrey L. Caton
Examining The Roles Of Army Reserve Component Forces In Military Cyberspace Operations, Jeffrey L. Caton
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Cyberspace operations have become pervasive in the United States, and they enable many aspects of modern life for the average citizen, such as entertainment, communication, education, transportation, banking, and voting. The continuing development of the U.S. Army and Department of Defense (DoD) Reserve component cyberspace units can leverage the capabilities and experience of industry and academia to help protect critical information infrastructure and enhance national security. What opportunities and challenges surround the integration of these forces into a still-evolving joint cyberspace force?
Scenario Planning And Strategy In The Pentagon, Michael Fitzsimmons Dr.
Scenario Planning And Strategy In The Pentagon, Michael Fitzsimmons Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Scenario planning should be one of the Pentagon’s most important tools for developing strategy for an uncertain future. However, the formalized joint scenario planning process to support strategy and force development—Support for Strategic Analysis—has faced many challenges over the past 2 decades, and has ultimately proven less influential than intended on strategic decision-making. Explaining why is the main purpose of this monograph. It argues that scenario analysis has been most effective in supporting capability and program development, while it has fallen short in shaping strategy and force structure. The reasons for this are numerous and are rooted in intrinsic, structural …

The U.S. Army In The Iraq War – Volume 1: Invasion – Insurgency – Civil War, 2003-2006, Joel D. Rayburn Col, Frank K. Sobchak Col
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The Iraq War has been the costliest U.S. conflict since the Vietnam War. To date, few official studies have been conducted to review what happened, why it happened, and what lessons should be drawn. The U.S. Army in the Iraq War is the Army’s initial operational level analysis of this conflict, written in narrative format, with assessments and lessons embedded throughout the work. This study reviews the conflict from a Landpower perspective and includes the contributions of coalition allies, the U.S. Marine Corps, and special operations forces. Presented principally from the point of view of the commanders in Baghdad, the …

Maneuvering The Saudi-Iranian Rivalry In The Middle East: How The United States Can Preserve And Protect Its Long-Term Interests In The Region, Gregory Aftandilian Mr.
Maneuvering The Saudi-Iranian Rivalry In The Middle East: How The United States Can Preserve And Protect Its Long-Term Interests In The Region, Gregory Aftandilian Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph examines the conflicts in the Middle East region between Saudi Arabia and Iran and the so-called proxy wars that are being fought between them, and discusses ways that the United States needs to maneuver carefully in this struggle to preserve its long-term interests in the area. Although Washington has political, economic, and strategic equities with Riyadh, it needs to think carefully about being perceived as engaging in sectarian strife that would alienate Shia allies in Iraq, show bias in its human rights policy, and anger millions of Iranian young people who want better relations with the United States.
Creating Great Expectations: Strategic Communications And American Airpower, Conrad C. Crane Dr.
Creating Great Expectations: Strategic Communications And American Airpower, Conrad C. Crane Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Americans have always been uniquely attracted to airpower, a fact that has been successfully exploited by generations of U.S. Air Force leaders in information campaigns. But as a result, the nation has often entered conflicts with exorbitant expectations about what airpower could actually accomplish, creating unique challenges in strategic communications when promises did not match reality, especially in recent conflicts. Adaptive enemies have also become very adept at using their own carefully crafted information campaigns to counter what is America’s greatest asymmetric advantage on the battlefield.

Silent Partners: Organized Crime, Irregular Groups, And Nation-States, Shima D. Keene Dr.
Silent Partners: Organized Crime, Irregular Groups, And Nation-States, Shima D. Keene Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The U.S. Army increasingly faces adversaries that are difficult to define. The threat landscape is further complicated by the silent partnership between criminal organizations, irregular groups, and nation-states. This collaboration, whatever its exact nature, is problematic, because it confounds understanding of the adversary, making existing countermeasures less effective, and thus directly challenging U.S. national security interests. Military action taken without full appreciation of the dynamics of the nature of these relationships is likely to be ineffective at best or suffer unintended consequences. This monograph provides a comprehensive assessment of the threat to U.S. national security interests posed by the silent …

Assessing The Collective Security Treaty Organization: Capabilities And Vulnerabilities, Richard Weitz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Russia has strengthened its military position in Central Asia and the South Caucasus through a combination of bilateral and multilateral initiatives. The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has become the most important multilateral defense structure in the former Soviet Union and is an essential instrument in Russia’s resurgence. The CSTO has expanded its missions, authorities, and capabilities. However, it faces both internal and external challenges, especially debilitating divisions among its members.

Maintaining Information Dominance In Complex Environments, John A. S. Ardis Dr., Shima D. Keene Dr.
Maintaining Information Dominance In Complex Environments, John A. S. Ardis Dr., Shima D. Keene Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
There are many risks to the U.S. Army’s command and control (C2) operations and to its intelligence and information warfare (IW) capabilities. The challenges include: significant uncertainty; sudden unexpected events; high noise and clutter levels in intelligence pictures; basic and complex deceptions exercised through a variety of channels; the actions of hidden malign actors; and novel forms of attack on U.S. and allied command, control, communications, computers, information/intelligence, surveillance, targeting acquisition, and reconnaissance (C4ISTAR) systems. If the U.S. Army is to secure and maintain information dominance in all environments, it must exploit complexity and uncertainty in the battlespace and not …

The Relevance Of The European Union And The North Atlantic Treaty Organization For The United States In The 21st Century, Joel R. Hillison Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The “America First” approach to foreign policy seems to call into question the value of institutions like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU). However, in a more competitive and uncertain strategic environment, NATO and the EU remain vital to promoting U.S. interests.
Exit Strategy: Rule Of Law And The U.S. Army, Shima D. Keene Dr.
Exit Strategy: Rule Of Law And The U.S. Army, Shima D. Keene Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Establishing the rule of law is a key goal and end state in counterinsurgency (COIN) operations and is a critical aspect of securing peace and preventing future conflict. However, recent experience in theaters such as Afghanistan has shown that establishing effective rule of law institutions and practices is not a straightforward task. Consequently, considerations as to how and when rule of law institutions can start to be developed and integrated into the stability transition process must not only be planned in advance, but also form part of the U.S. Army’s strategy from the start of any military intervention. The analysis …

The Dual-System Problem In Complex Conflicts, Robert D. Lamb Dr., Melissa R. Gregg Ms.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Conflict and fragile environments are increasingly complex and unpredictable, but the U.S. policy system itself is much more complex and unpredictable than most leaders appreciate. In this monograph, the authors argue that until we get a grasp on this “dual-system problem,” the United States will fall further and further behind in its strategic ambitions.
Impacts Of Anti-Access/Area Denial Measures On Space Systems: Issues And Implications For Army And Joint Forces, Jeffrey L. Caton
Impacts Of Anti-Access/Area Denial Measures On Space Systems: Issues And Implications For Army And Joint Forces, Jeffrey L. Caton
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The 2018 National Defense Strategy and National Space Strategy both reaffirm the vital interests that the United States has in the domain of space. However, space remains an inherently hostile environment that has become congested, contested, and competitive among the nations. What are ways for the U.S. Army to assure the success of its space-dependent warfighting functions in an anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) environment where space systems are degraded for significant periods of time?
