Research & Debate—Forms Of Military Strategy: Historical Parallels Between The American Confederacy And Imperial Japan, And A Way Forward, Robert C. Rubel
Research & Debate—Forms Of Military Strategy: Historical Parallels Between The American Confederacy And Imperial Japan, And A Way Forward, Robert C. Rubel
Naval War College Review
Two cases, almost eighty years apart, in which a weaker power—the Confederacy and imperial Japan—sought to achieve an end to the war before the United States could mobilize its material advantages and before the weaker side’s limited resources ran out provide useful insights into this western Pacific conundrum. Studying the failure of both challengers bears particular lessons for the United States in its potential conflict with China, in ways that studying our past victories against these adversaries cannot.
Review Essay—A Wake For Objective Control—"The State And The Soldier: A History Of Civil-Military Relations In The United States", Frank Hoffman, Kori Schake
Review Essay—A Wake For Objective Control—"The State And The Soldier: A History Of Civil-Military Relations In The United States", Frank Hoffman, Kori Schake
Naval War College Review
Just five years ago, scholars with extensive Washington policy experience assessed that a civil-military relations crisis existed. They perceived that military perspectives were dominating the Pentagon during the first Trump administration. One book accused Secretary of Defense James Mattis of shirking his responsibility to maintain meaningful civilian control. Frustrated, midlevel policy officials faced a slew of bureaucratic initiatives and pressures from an aggressive Joint Staff. Was it a crisis, or were civilians outmaneuvered or unresponsive? Did the military have undue influence, and was civilian control really undermined? The timely publication of The State and the Soldier delivers historical context and …
Fighting Without Mastery—Italian Naval Strategy And The Defeat Of The Regia Marina In The Mediterranean, 1940–1943, Fabio De Ninno
Fighting Without Mastery—Italian Naval Strategy And The Defeat Of The Regia Marina In The Mediterranean, 1940–1943, Fabio De Ninno
Naval War College Review
Fascist Italy’s campaign to secure and command oceanic sea-lanes in the period between 1935 and 1943 marks a noteworthy failure in interwar strategy. Such a glaring historical moment—particularly the failure to raise a suitable navy capable of achieving Italy’s geopolitical objects—demands further inquiry to uncover how and why this project fell far short of its projected aims.
“A True Sailor-Statesman”—The Ethical Quandary Of Ambassador Raymond A. Spruance In The Philippines, Andrew K. Blackley
“A True Sailor-Statesman”—The Ethical Quandary Of Ambassador Raymond A. Spruance In The Philippines, Andrew K. Blackley
Naval War College Review
After retiring from the Navy, Admiral Raymond A. Spruance took on the role of U.S. ambassador to the Philippines. Thomas Buell, a prominent Spruance biographer, previously has claimed that Spruance’s involvement in the 1953 Philippine presidential election was ethically questionable, a perspective challenged by new research.
The Cognitive Dimension Of Mobilization—Reconsidering American War Preparation In An Age Of Persistent Cognitive Warfare, Robert "Jake" Bebber
The Cognitive Dimension Of Mobilization—Reconsidering American War Preparation In An Age Of Persistent Cognitive Warfare, Robert "Jake" Bebber
Naval War College Review
American war mobilization doctrine is built on an industrial-era paradigm that assumes the primary contest is material: who can most efficiently convert economic capacity into military power. An evaluation suggests that this paradigm, while necessary, is no longer sufficient.
Narrowing Seas—The Littoral Strike Complex And The Future Of Naval Warfare, Charles A. Richard, John Robinson
Narrowing Seas—The Littoral Strike Complex And The Future Of Naval Warfare, Charles A. Richard, John Robinson
Naval War College Review
Ukraine’s suppression of Russian naval activity by using unmanned surface and aerial vehicles provides a backdrop against which the concept of a “reconnaissance strike complex” is updated for naval warfare today. This framework reflects a path forward for future naval operations.

Set & Drift—Disposing Of Sea Mines In Operation Desert Shield: Developing Eod Doctrine In Wartime, Thomas Bernitt, Jason Gilbert, Michael Dalrymple
Set & Drift—Disposing Of Sea Mines In Operation Desert Shield: Developing Eod Doctrine In Wartime, Thomas Bernitt, Jason Gilbert, Michael Dalrymple
Naval War College Review
In 1990, during Operation DESERT SHIELD, the buildup to the first Gulf War, the United States began to amass a naval presence not seen since World War II. The Navy deployed eight aircraft carriers, three amphibious ready groups, and numerous smaller warships to the Persian Gulf alone. Prior to this, no aircraft carrier had entered the Gulf since 1974, because the Navy considered the water space too constricted for carrier operations. It perceived the chief threat to warships operating in the Gulf to be from the Iraqi air force—USS Stark had been hit by two Iraqi air-launched Exocet missiles just …
Research & Debate—The First Ai War, Thomas C. Linn
Research & Debate—The First Ai War, Thomas C. Linn
Naval War College Review
From the earliest human conflicts to today, human ingenuity in warfare has led to some of humanity’s greatest technological wonders. Recent developments within the Department of Defense (DoD, also called the Department of War) point to the most recent wave of warfare innovation: that of artificial intelligence (AI).
The Art Of Securing “Strong Places” Overseas—A History Of A British Naval Base In Oman In The Early Twentieth Century, Terence M. Nicholas
The Art Of Securing “Strong Places” Overseas—A History Of A British Naval Base In Oman In The Early Twentieth Century, Terence M. Nicholas
Naval War College Review
Securing a “strong place” overseas without disrupting local politics or agitating rivals is as crucial today as it has ever been. The experience of the British in northern Oman in the early twentieth century has more than academic relevance today.
Will Navies Prevail In “Generation Drone”?—An Australian View, Sean A. G. Andrews
Will Navies Prevail In “Generation Drone”?—An Australian View, Sean A. G. Andrews
Naval War College Review
The often-heralded obsolescence of traditional naval power looms like a specter over navies in the era of drone warfare. As with technological innovations of the past, however, there is a strong case to be made that innovation tends to transform—rather than displace—a navy’s role in a broader maritime ecosystem.
Artificial Intelligence Challenge To Strategic Assessment Organizations, Thomas J. Welch
Artificial Intelligence Challenge To Strategic Assessment Organizations, Thomas J. Welch
Naval War College Review
As artificial intelligence—particularly agentic artificial intelligence—continues to evolve, defense strategists must understand its capabilities and limitations. Emerging technologies will impact established frameworks, practices, and rhythms, and strategic-assessment organizations in particular must maximize efficiency while preserving the human elements that are indispensable to strategic planning.
Cyberattack-Resilient Artificial Intelligence In Navies—Solving The Skill-Needs Gap, Chris C. Demchak
Cyberattack-Resilient Artificial Intelligence In Navies—Solving The Skill-Needs Gap, Chris C. Demchak
Naval War College Review
With artificial intelligence—cyber’s offspring—come several risks and vulnerabilities that must be defended against. The key to defense, as always, is having the right personnel in place to build resilience into the mission. To distribute critical manning assets correctly, skill-needs rubrics are well suited to ensure that the proper personnel are on hand to defend systems and execute critical missions.
Emerging Warfare Dynamics In The Algorithmic Age—Artificial Intelligence, Mass, And Deception In Systemic Conflict, Jonathan Compton
Emerging Warfare Dynamics In The Algorithmic Age—Artificial Intelligence, Mass, And Deception In Systemic Conflict, Jonathan Compton
Naval War College Review
The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems in both the United States and the People’s Republic of China is having a critical impact on the shape of future warfare. Shifting away from the traditional battlefield, technological advances redirect targeting focus from tanks and aircraft toward critical nodes across entire societal frameworks.

“Let Sleeping Dogs Lie”—The Impact Of Naval Air Warfare During The Spanish Civil War On The Royal Navy, 1936–1939, Néstor Cerdá
“Let Sleeping Dogs Lie”—The Impact Of Naval Air Warfare During The Spanish Civil War On The Royal Navy, 1936–1939, Néstor Cerdá
Naval War College Review
The landscape of modern warfare is one of constant metamorphosis caused by a variety of factors, from technological advancement to shifting combat terrains. The Royal Navy’s experience with German airpower while enforcing nonintervention during the Spanish Civil War set uneven expectations for the role of naval airpower in the war to come.

Naval War College Review
With the survivability of mobile missile launchers in question for newly established U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps multidomain task forces and Marine littoral regiments, the role of countering intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in the Pacific may prove crucial to preventing sea denial from the land in future conflicts.

People’S Republic Of China Stratagems And Surprise Attacks—Implications For The Defense Of Taiwan, Ian Easton
Naval War College Review
As the People’s Republic of China continues to amass military forces across the strait from Taiwan, Chinese military doctrine holds the keys to preparing for potential conflict. Elements of surprise and deception, akin to those used by Russia during the invasion of Ukraine, may drive strategy and preparation for a potential invasion of Taiwan.
