German War Gaming, Milan Vego
German War Gaming, Milan Vego
Naval War College Review
Modern war gaming arose in Germany in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and greatly contributed to the superb quality of the German military in the twentieth. Aspects of the German approach would have substantial value for the U.S. military today.
“Decided Preponderance At Sea”: Naval Diplomacy In Strategic Thought, Kevin Rowlands
“Decided Preponderance At Sea”: Naval Diplomacy In Strategic Thought, Kevin Rowlands
Naval War College Review
The literature shows that naval diplomacy has been used since man first put to sea in ships and that its history can be traced down through the years ever since, with varying emphases, interpretations, and terminology. The future may see new aspects of an old role, a “postmodern” naval diplomacy.
Drowning Stability: The Perils Of Naval Nuclearization And Brinkmanship In The Indian Ocean, Iskander Rehman
Drowning Stability: The Perils Of Naval Nuclearization And Brinkmanship In The Indian Ocean, Iskander Rehman
Naval War College Review
The epicenter of Indo-Pakistani nuclear rivalry is drifting outward from the subcontinental landmass into the Indian Ocean, from the dusty plains of Punjab and Rajasthan into the world’s most congested shipping lanes. If this haphazard naval nuclearization remains unchecked, its destabilizing effect will spill over into the Persian Gulf and beyond.
Building The Purple Ford: An Affordable Approach To Jointness, Robert P. Kozloski
Building The Purple Ford: An Affordable Approach To Jointness, Robert P. Kozloski
Naval War College Review
It can be argued that the inefficiencies that appalled Harry Truman during World War II are now worse, and more costly, despite several efforts since then to reform the Defense Department. But the “easy choice” of reducing end strength to survive the forthcoming budget reductions should be considered only after all means of reducing unnecessary overhead have been exhausted.
Between Peace And The Air-Sea Battle: A War At Sea Strategy, Jeffrey E. Kline, Wayne P. Hughes, Jr.
Between Peace And The Air-Sea Battle: A War At Sea Strategy, Jeffrey E. Kline, Wayne P. Hughes, Jr.
Naval War College Review
A war-at-sea strategy, by confining conflict to the sea without land invasion or strike, would provide U.S. political leadership less intrusive ways to deter war, resolve crises with less threat of escalation, and in peacetime inspire allied engagement.
Command Of The Sea: An Old Concept Resurfaces In A New Form, Robert C. Rubel
Command Of The Sea: An Old Concept Resurfaces In A New Form, Robert C. Rubel
Naval War College Review
“Command of the sea” is not and maybe should not be a doctrinal term, but its utility as a tool for strategic analysis has reemerged. Some may be uncomfortable with its hegemonic overtones, but current and sophisticated understanding of it should improve programmatic analysis and tactical development.

Deterrence Through Strength: British Naval Power And Foreign Policyunder Pax Britannica, Angus K. Ross
Deterrence Through Strength: British Naval Power And Foreign Policyunder Pax Britannica, Angus K. Ross
Naval War College Review
Historians have long argued about the true mechanism behind a ninety-year period of relative peace in Europe, a period that began with the end of the Napoleonic wars and became known as the Pax Britannica. Over the years critics have questioned both aspects of this term—whether the period was actually as peaceful as its title suggests and whether that peace really was, in large part, due to Great Britain’s overwhelming and imposing com- mercial, industrial, financial, and naval might.
Conquered Into Liberty: Two Centuries Of Battles Along The Great Warpaththat Made The American Way Of War, Ken Jensen
Conquered Into Liberty: Two Centuries Of Battles Along The Great Warpaththat Made The American Way Of War, Ken Jensen
Naval War College Review
The American way of war—a product of two centuries of war with . . .Canada? How can that be? Civil War history and the experience and his- tory of World War II have driven out of our minds a truth known to James Fenimore Cooper, Francis Parkman, and Kenneth Roberts. The American colonies, thereafter the United States, fought battle after battle with France, Britain, and Canada throughout most of the seventeenth century and un- til the early nineteenth century. The place of these battles was then called the Great Warpath, stretching from Albany to Montreal and Quebec.
Democratization In Africa: Progress And Retreat, Richard Norton
Democratization In Africa: Progress And Retreat, Richard Norton
Naval War College Review
In some ways, publishing a book that purports to capture contemporary African political trends, particularly involving the “progress of democracy,” faces the same basic problem as do books attempting to explain state-of- the-art computers. Both information streams are now flowing so quickly that the truth you write about today may be very different from that of tomorrow. In fact, the African scholar has even harder going than his information-systems contemporary, because unlike computer technology, the course of democracy in Africa frequently changes direction and from time to time even reverses itself. The editors of Democratization in Africa: Progress and Retreat …

The Navy’S Moral Compass, Mark F. Light
The Navy’S Moral Compass, Mark F. Light
Naval War College Review
The U.S. Navy has an integrity problem in the ranks of its commanding of- ficers (COs). Consider these headlines: “Cruiser CO Relieved for ‘Cruelty.’”1 “CO Fired, Charged with Solicitation.”2 “CO of Attack Sub Fired for ‘Drunken- ness.’” These are just a few cases in a recent deluge of early reliefs of “skippers.” In 2010, twenty-three Navy COs were relieved of command and “detached for cause,” an enormous increase over previous years. The trend continues: twenty- one commanding officers were fired in 2011 as of the end of October.4 Even more worrisome is the fact that a large and increasing percentage …
Phase Zero, Scott D. Mcdonald, Brock Jones, Jason M. Frazee
Phase Zero, Scott D. Mcdonald, Brock Jones, Jason M. Frazee
Naval War College Review
In October 2006 General Charles Wald, Deputy Commander U.S. European Com- mand, brought “Phase Zero” into the joint lexicon with the publication of an article, “The Phase Zero Campaign.”1 Over the last five years the concept of taking coordinated action in peacetime to affect the strategic environment has becomewidely accepted and is now integrated into theater campaign plans. These activi- ties focus on building capacity of partners and influencing potential adversaries to avoid war. In contrast, Chinese strategic culture has encouraged taking actions to defeat an enemy prior to the onset of hostilities for two and a half millennia.
China’S Aerospace Power Trajectory In The Near Seas, Daniel J. Kostecka
China’S Aerospace Power Trajectory In The Near Seas, Daniel J. Kostecka
Naval War College Review
Air and aerospace power has been fundamental for defending China’s “near seas”—encompassing the Bohai Gulf, the Yellow Sea, and the East and South China Seas—since the founding of the People’s Republic. While air and naval operations did not play a significant role in the Chinese Civil War, which was won by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the victorious Communist forces were threatened immediately by hostile air and naval forces from the maritime sphere.
Learning From Lebanon, Benjamin S. Lambeth
Learning From Lebanon, Benjamin S. Lambeth
Naval War College Review
From 12 July until 15 August 2006, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) waged a thirty-four-day war against the Iranian terrorist proxy organization Hezbollah in response to a well-planned raid by a team of Hezbollah combatants from southern Lebanon into northern Israel. That raid resulted in the abduction of two IDF soldiers, who had then been taken back into Lebanon for use as hostages. Code-named Operation change of direction, the greatly escalated counteroffensive that the raid prompted has since been widely regarded as the IDF’s most inconclusive combat performance in Israel’s history.

The Aegis Bmd Global Enterprise, Brad Hicks, George Galdorisi, Scott C. Truver
Naval War College Review
For more than three decades, beginning soon after the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union faced off against each other. The concept of “mutual assured destruction”—MAD, the U.S. threat of massive retaliation to a Soviet first strike—became America’s Cold War de facto strategic defense policy. In March 1983, however, President Ronald Reagan asked whether ballistic missiles could be destroyed before they reached the United States or its allies, thus catalyzing efforts for a national ballistic-missile-defense program that would undermine the need for MAD.
The New Normalcy, Robert B. Watts
The New Normalcy, Robert B. Watts
Naval War College Review
In September 1994, the Caribbean nation of Haiti burst into political unrest that drove twenty-six thousand migrants out to sea on board overcrowded and unseaworthy craft in an unprecedented mass migration to the United States. Several months later, over thirty thousand Cubans followed suit, attempting to reach the mainland on literally anything that could float. On 31 August 2005, a “weapon of mass destruction” in the form of a category-five hurricane exploded in the Gulf coast city of New Orleans, killing over 1,300 citizens and forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands. Finally, on 20 April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon …
Naval Operations, Wayne P. Hughes
Naval Operations, Wayne P. Hughes
Naval War College Review
Today’s American navy writes prolifically about maritime strategies but has not devoted equal attention to campaign plans or analysis that tests the strategies’ viability. We illustrate herein how the operational—or campaign—level links policy and strategy to the tactical and technological elements of war at sea. First, we relate how the U.S. Navy reluctantly came to accept the existence of an operational level of warfare but having done so will find it useful. Second, we de- scribe important properties of naval operations in terms of constants, trends, and variables in warfare at and from the sea. Third, we demonstrate how operational- …
Reflections On The Stockdale Legacy, Martin L. Cook
Reflections On The Stockdale Legacy, Martin L. Cook
Naval War College Review
It is a great pleasure and an honor to be invited to deliver this year’s Stockdale Lecture. When I consider those who have preceded me in giving this annual lecture, I am truly humbled to be added to that roster. I am also honored to hold an academic chair at the Naval War College that bears Admiral Stockdale’s name, so it is especially fitting that I offer some reflections on what my chair’s namesake means to me, but more importantly for the Navy.
President’S Forum, John N. Christenson
President’S Forum, John N. Christenson
Naval War College Review
I have been President for all of a year now, and what a wonderful year it has been. They say the best time for war colleges is after wars have ended and when budgets are headed downward. It certainly feels true in Newport. There is an urgency to innovate. Under the leadership of Fleet Forces Command, the Navy and Marine Corps “got the band back together” and executed an ambitious amphibious exercise, bold Alligator. The last issue of the Naval War College Review had a superb article by our Professor Don Chisholm entitled “A Remarkable Military Feat: The Hungnam Redeployment, …

Naval War College Review
Vice Admiral James B. Stockdale holds a unique position in the roster of dis- tinguished American naval officers of the last century. In “Reflections on the Stockdale Legacy,” Martin L. Cook, current holder of the Stockdale Chair of Professional Military Ethics at the Naval War College, vividly recalls the extraor- dinary moral courage and leadership displayed by Stockdale during his nearly eight years of captivity in a North Vietnamese prison camp.
