Nato’S New Role: The Alliance’S Response To A Rising China, Zinaida Bechná, Bradley A. Thayer
Nato’S New Role: The Alliance’S Response To A Rising China, Zinaida Bechná, Bradley A. Thayer
Naval War College Review
Russia’s actions in Crimea and Ukraine have been momentous in their consequences for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Moscow has instilled new life in the almost seventy-year-old alliance. Doubts about its relevance and utility in the post–Cold War period have faded, at least for the time being, as leaders ponder what Russian leader Vladimir Putin will do next to challenge the alliance. This uncertainty weighs heavily on the heads of state and government of NATO’s twenty-eight members. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen characterized the situation well when he wrote, “In these turbulent times NATO must be prepared to …
Strategic Assessment And Adaptation: Reassessing The Afghanistan Surge Decision, Francis G. Hoffman
Strategic Assessment And Adaptation: Reassessing The Afghanistan Surge Decision, Francis G. Hoffman
Naval War College Review
As former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld once noted, we go to war with the Army (and Navy) we have. However, we do not necessarily win wars with the same armed forces or strategy with which we began them. Often, these forces initially are not optimized for the particular conflict in which they become engaged, and even when they are, adaptive adversaries present unanticipated challenges. Often throughout history, leaders have needed to recognize that their initial plans were not successful and that adaptation (organizationally, doctrinally, or in weapons and equipment) was needed.1

Cultivating Sailor Ethical Fitness, Michael Hallett
Cultivating Sailor Ethical Fitness, Michael Hallett
Naval War College Review
Weaving together multiple philosophical threads, this sketch of an ethical fitness concept avoids a legalistic focus on rule breaking to develop ethical competence that is both operationally effective in time-constrained, dynamic environments, including combat, and useful for sailors performing their daily tasks.
The Relationship Between Global Naval Engagement And Naval War-Fighting Posture, Robert C. Rubel
The Relationship Between Global Naval Engagement And Naval War-Fighting Posture, Robert C. Rubel
Naval War College Review
Decisions on fleet design should be informed by an understanding of the relationship between forward engagement and combat posture. Regarding these two functional elements of the Navy’s mission as either mutually exclusive or having a primary/collateral relationship is a recipe forstrategic error.

Russian A2/Ad In The Eastern Mediterranean A Growing Risk, Jonathan Altman
Russian A2/Ad In The Eastern Mediterranean A Growing Risk, Jonathan Altman
Naval War College Review
Much has been written about the challenges posed by the Chinese adoption of what the U.S. military calls “A2/AD” (antiaccess/area-denial) in the western Pacific. Accordingly, the Pacific remains a key focus area for the U.S. Navy and Air Force, and more recently the Army, with the Navy promising to put 60 percent of its forces in that theater as part of the “Pacific pivot.” Yet as focus remains on the Pacific, the rest of the world is not standing still. This is exemplified in the eastern Mediterranean, where the Russians have begun laying the seeds to create an A2/AD zone …
Flash Points: The Emerging Crisis In Europe, Bygeorge Friedman, Sam J. Tangredi
Flash Points: The Emerging Crisis In Europe, Bygeorge Friedman, Sam J. Tangredi
Naval War College Review
Flash Points is both an elegant and a disturbing book. Not simply elegant in its writing style, which is direct and clear, but also in its initial discussion of the age of discovery and enlightenment that propelled the European nations into becoming world powers—you rarely find a more cogent and concise explanation of the roots of European social, cultural, political, and economic development.

A Military History Of Japan: From The Age Of The Samurai To The 21st Century, By John T. Kuehn, J. Overton
Naval War College Review
Japan is at an inflection point. Depending on how particular peoples and nations view this enigmatic country, it now either is turning away from rightly enforced demilitarization and back toward the more martial and expansionist policies of its past, or is working to become a security provider concomitant with its economic power.

Tactics Of Strategic Competition, Van Jackson
Tactics Of Strategic Competition, Van Jackson
Naval War College Review
Defense analysts and policy makers now refer routinely to the challenges of operating in a “gray zone” of conflict, which coincides with recent scholarly efforts to analyze more rigorously conflicts short of traditional coercion or war. Yet despite its frequent contemporary usage, the term gray zone does not seem to describe anything new.

Who’S At The Helm? The Past, Present, And Future Leaders Of China’S Navy, Jeffrey Becker
Naval War College Review
The PLA Navy is undergoing a substantial leadership transition, from an Old Guard that is fast retiring to a Rising Cohort, to be followed by its Future Leadership, representing a profound shift in professional education, training, international experience, and direct experience with new operations.

The Effect Of The Goldwater-Nichols Act Of 1986 On Naval Strategy, 1987–1994, Steven Wills
Naval War College Review
The Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986 fundamentally altered the process by which the U.S. Navy developed both strategy and the people involved in creating it, affecting the Navy’s ability to produce war-winning global strategic concepts in response to threats that can no longer be contained by regional planning alone.

A Himalayan Challenge, Iskander Rehman
A Himalayan Challenge, Iskander Rehman
Naval War College Review
Ever since 1962, when soldiers from the People’s Republic of China inflicted a humiliating defeat on Indian forces, India and China have maintained an uneasy coexistence along the world’s longest disputed frontier. While certain aspects of the Sino-Indian security dynamic have improved markedly, others have given rise to growing unease. On the positive side of the ledger, the two nations have succeeded in avoiding a direct, armed conflict since a bloody skirmish in 1967, and have developed a number of confidence building measures to prevent isolated incidents from spiraling out of control.
International Law And Search And Rescue, Rick Button
International Law And Search And Rescue, Rick Button
Naval War College Review
The search for and rescue of persons in distress is a centuries-old, time- honored tradition. The above instructions provided to Captain Francis Tut- tle of the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service over a century ago, as he prepared his crew to rescue whalers trapped in ice in the Arctic Ocean, epitomize the dedicated efforts of mariners and coastal states in saving lives at sea.
Effective Implementation Of The 2005 Convention For The Suppressionof Unlawful Acts Against The Safety Of Maritime Navigation, James Kraska
Effective Implementation Of The 2005 Convention For The Suppressionof Unlawful Acts Against The Safety Of Maritime Navigation, James Kraska
Naval War College Review
in 2005, the 167 member states of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted the 2005 Protocol to the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (SUA). The resulting 2005 SUA Convention is a comprehensive treaty on maritime security that streamlines and integrates efforts to prevent and disrupt maritime terrorism. In the decade since its adoption, however, many states have not acceded to the new treaty, and most of those that have done so have not taken the steps the treaty requires to imple- ment it effectively, even though the need to do so …

Rebuilding The Ukrainian Navy, Deborah Sanders
Rebuilding The Ukrainian Navy, Deborah Sanders
Naval War College Review
Russia’s seizure of many of Ukraine’s naval assets dealt a serious blow to the already-small Ukrainian navy. The Ukrainian government’s ambitions to rebuild a balanced fleet may be unrealizable. The progress already made in building a “mosquito fleet” suggests that redirecting development toward coastal defense would be a wiser course.

The New Time And Space, Dimensions Of A Maritime Defense Strategy, Tomohisa Takei
Naval War College Review
China’s aggressive land-reclamation projects in Asian waters represent a challenge to the status quo. The international system, the United States and Japan, and smaller countries seeking regional stability must reexamine their concepts of time and space if they are to better deter the designs of a revisionist power.

Riverine Warfare, Kevin Rowlands
Riverine Warfare, Kevin Rowlands
Naval War College Review
Despite a long history, riverine operations have received only scant attention from the academic community and military analysts. The little writing that exists on the topic tends to be either personal memoir or tactical instruction, with serious analyses few and far between, and then often hidden away in more-general texts on amphibious warfare. This article sets out to explore this unfamiliar yet vital territory to determine the relevance of riverine operations to contemporary and future military campaigns. It is pertinent now, as budget allocations once again are reviewed and NATO’s amphibious doctrine is refreshed.
