Ends, Means, Ideology, And Pride: Why The Axis Lost And What We Can Learn From Its Defeat, Jeffrey Record Dr.
Ends, Means, Ideology, And Pride: Why The Axis Lost And What We Can Learn From Its Defeat, Jeffrey Record Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author examines the Axis defeat in World War II and concludes that the two main causes were resource inferiority (after 1941) and strategic incompetence—i.e., pursuit of imperial ambitions beyond the reach of its actual power. Until 1941 Axis military fortunes thrived, but the addition in that year of the Soviet Union and the United States to the list of Axis enemies condemned the Axis to ultimate strategic defeat. Germany, Italy, and Japan all attempted to bite off more than they could chew and subsequently choked to death.
U.S. Landpower In The South China Sea, Clarence J. Bouchat (Usaf, Ret.) Lieutenant Colonel
U.S. Landpower In The South China Sea, Clarence J. Bouchat (Usaf, Ret.) Lieutenant Colonel
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
U.S. landpower is an essential, but often overlooked, element of national power in semi-enclosed maritime environments like the South China Sea. This monograph gives U.S. policymakers a better understanding of the role of the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Forces (SOF) in the region through potential combat operations employing wide area defense and maneuver; deterrence through forward presence and peacetime operations; and security engagement with landpower-dominant allies, partners, and competitors in the region. Landpower’s capabilities are also essential for direct support of the air and sea services and other government organization’s success when operating in this theater in …
At Our Own Peril: Dod Risk Assessment In A Post-Primacy World, Nathan P. Freier Mr., Christopher M. Bado Colonel (Ret.), Christopher J. Bolan Dr., Robert S. Hume Colonel (Ret.)
At Our Own Peril: Dod Risk Assessment In A Post-Primacy World, Nathan P. Freier Mr., Christopher M. Bado Colonel (Ret.), Christopher J. Bolan Dr., Robert S. Hume Colonel (Ret.)
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) faces persistent fundamental change in its strategic and operating environments. This report suggests this reality is the product of the United States entering or being in the midst of a new, more competitive, post-U.S. primacy environment. Post-primacy conditions promise far-reaching impacts on U.S. national security and defense strategy. Consequently, there is an urgent requirement for DoD to examine and adapt how it develops strategy and describes, identifies, assesses, and communicates corporate-level risk. This report takes on the latter risk challenge. It argues for a new post-primacy risk concept and its four governing principles of …
Transforming The Force: The 11th Air Assault Division (Test) From 1963 To 1965, Thomas C. Graves Brigadier General
Transforming The Force: The 11th Air Assault Division (Test) From 1963 To 1965, Thomas C. Graves Brigadier General
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph will answer the question: Can the U.S. Army apply to the current “prototype brigade” the lessons that were learned during the development and experimentation of the 11th Air Assault Division (Test)? Having established that the criteria of DTLOMS is a valuable tool for evaluating change in military systems, the next step is to apply those criteria to evaluate the changes that occurred in the formation of the 11th Air Assault Division (Test) from 1963 to 1965. In order to accomplish this, a study of the separate elements of DTLOMS will be conducted in order to determine how the …
Cyber Infrastructure Protection: Vol. Iii, Tarek N. Saadawi Dr., John D. Colwell Ltc
Cyber Infrastructure Protection: Vol. Iii, Tarek N. Saadawi Dr., John D. Colwell Ltc
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Despite leaps in technological advancements made in computing system hardware and software areas, we still hear about massive cyberattacks that result in enormous data losses. Cyberattacks in 2015 included: sophisticated attacks that targeted Ashley Madison, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the White House, and Anthem; and in 2014, cyberattacks were directed at Sony Pictures Entertainment, Home Depot, J.P. Morgan Chase, a German steel factory, a South Korean nuclear plant, eBay, and others. These attacks and many others highlight the continued vulnerability of various cyber infrastructures and the critical need for strong cyber infrastructure protection (CIP). This book addresses …
Promoting U.S.-Indian Defense Cooperation: Opportunities And Obstacles, Richard Weitz Dr.
Promoting U.S.-Indian Defense Cooperation: Opportunities And Obstacles, Richard Weitz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The U.S.-Indian security relationship has markedly improved since the Cold War with increased cooperation in a range of areas. The two countries have established stronger military, economic, and political ties based on mutual interests in combating terrorism, promoting democracy, preventing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation, and addressing China’s rise. Their bilateral defense engagements now include a range of dialogues, exercises, educational exchanges, and joint training opportunities. The partnership benefits both countries, enabling them to realize their core security goals. Yet, U.S. and Indian national security leaders must take new steps to ensure that the relationship realizes its potential.
Corruption, Legitimacy, And Stability: Implications For The U.S. Army, Shima D. Keene Dr.
Corruption, Legitimacy, And Stability: Implications For The U.S. Army, Shima D. Keene Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Corruption increases the level of instability and the risk of conflict by undermining the legitimacy and credibility of state institutions. It can be both a cause and effect of poor leadership and governance. States emerging from conflict are particularly vulnerable to corruption, due to the lack of good governance infrastructures; but Western interventions can exacerbate the problem through the unintended consequences of good intentions. For peacekeeping and state-building interventions to be effective, careful consideration must be given as to the reason the problem occurs, and to its broader impact, as well as ways to manage it. This Letort Paper suggests …

21st-Century Challenges Of Command: A View From The Field, Anna Simons Dr.
21st-Century Challenges Of Command: A View From The Field, Anna Simons Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Leadership receives a tremendous amount of attention, but what about the day-to-day command challenges that confront O-4s, O-5s, and O-6s in today’s war zones? What has command entailed over the past decade and a half for special operations force (SOF) commanders who have deployed to Afghanistan (and Iraq) either to lead or to work under Special Operations Task Forces (SOTFs) or Combined Joint Special Operations Task Forces (CJSOTFs)? In both theaters, officers have had to contend with various competing hierarchies and significant churn. What then might the Army and military do to obviate or mitigate these and other problems? The …
Can Egypt Lead The Arab World Again? Assessing Opportunities And Challenges For U.S. Policy, Gregory Aftandilian Mr.
Can Egypt Lead The Arab World Again? Assessing Opportunities And Challenges For U.S. Policy, Gregory Aftandilian Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph examines the possibility of Egypt leading the Arab world again, and how that effort, if successful, will present opportunities and challenges for U.S. policy. At the present time, Egypt is not in a position to do so given its many domestic problems stemming from its turbulent politics since 2011 and the challenges facing its economy, which is currently experiencing high unemployment, weak tourism revenues because of terrorist incidents, and high rates of inflation as it implements an International Monetary Fund (IMF) economic reform package. However, Egypt has faced similar problems in the past and has recovered from them, …
The Turning Point For Russian Foreign Policy, Keir Giles Mr.
The Turning Point For Russian Foreign Policy, Keir Giles Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This Letort Paper analyzes the drivers of assertive military action by Russia, as exemplified by interventions in Ukraine and Syria. It identifies key turning points in Russia’s perception of external threat, and the roots of Russian responses to this threat making use of a capacity for military, political, and diplomatic leverage that has been greatly enhanced in the current decade. Color revolutions, the Arab Spring, and Western intervention in Libya are all highlighted as key influencers leading to a Russian assessment that the developments in Ukraine and Syria presented direct security challenges to Russia, which needed to be addressed through …

Social Media—The Vital Ground: Can We Hold It?, Ian Tunnicliffe, Steve Tatham Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The impact of social media on the media environment has been widely recognized; as has the ability of extremist and adversarial organizations to exploit social media to publicize their cause, spread their propaganda, and recruit vulnerable individuals. Supporting the growth of social media has been the phenomenal global increase in mobile telephone usage, and much of this increase is in areas where there are existing conflicts or conflicts are highly likely. These combined revolutions will increasingly have a direct impact on virtually all aspects of military operations in the 21st century. In doing so, social media will force significant changes …
Antiquities Destruction And Illicit Sales As Sources Of Isis Funding And Propaganda, W. Andrew Terrill Dr.
Antiquities Destruction And Illicit Sales As Sources Of Isis Funding And Propaganda, W. Andrew Terrill Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) has embarked on a campaign to destroy or sell priceless world heritage relics throughout the area under its control. While images of the outrageous destruction of priceless artifacts have been seen throughout the world, the strategic and military implications of comprehensive antiquities looting and ISIS propaganda about antiquities are of vital importance and correspondingly are considered throughout this Letort Paper. In particular, ISIS funding from the illicit sales of antiquities (and high quality fakes) is a serious problem and may help ISIS remain functional even after other sources of revenue are increasingly …

Indian And Chinese Engagement In Latin America And The Caribbean: A Comparative Assessment, R. Evan Ellis Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph comparatively examines the content and country focus of high-level diplomacy for each of the two actors, as well as the volume and patterns of trade, the activities of Indian and Chinese companies in the region, and their relationship to their respective governments in eight sectors: (1) petroleum and mining; (2) agriculture; (3) construction; (4) manufacturing and retail; (5) banking and finance; (6) logistics and port operations; (7) technology such as telecommunications, space, and high technology; and, (8) military sales and activities. This monograph finds that Indian engagement with the region is significantly less than that of the People’s …

China's Interests And Goals In The Arctic: Implications For The United States, Elizabeth Wishnick Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
China has been elaborating its position on the Arctic at the same time as the United States has been refining its own Arctic strategy as Chairman of the Arctic Council through April 2017. This Letort Paper examines the geopolitical implications of China’s growing involvement in the Arctic for U.S. interests. First, the evolution of U.S. Arctic strategy is discussed, including its political and military components. Next, China’s interests and goals in the Arctic are addressed. A third section examines the Arctic in China’s relations with Canada, Russia, and the Nordic states. This Letort Paper then evaluates the consequences of China’s …
