Presidents Forum, Arthur K. Cebrowski Apr 2018

Presidents Forum, Arthur K. Cebrowski

Naval War College Review

In the summer of 1998, the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jay L. Johnson, sent me here to Newport, along with Rear Admiral Bernard). Smith (as commander of the new Navy Warfare Development Command) and Rear Ad­ miral Peter A. C. Long (to be Provost of the Naval War College). He did that for important reasons. One was the sense that the Navy had lost its historic inclina­ tion to innov ate. This was not surprising: all very succe ful organizations with long histories of accomplishme nt, such as the U .S. Navy, have powerful immunologic systems, capable of repelling …

Corbett, Clausewitz, And Sun Tzu, Michael I. Handel Apr 2018

Corbett, Clausewitz, And Sun Tzu, Michael I. Handel

Naval War College Review

Mahan integrates and synthesizes Jomini’s work with his own; Corbett uses Clausewitz’s On War as a heuristic point of departure. Mahan, in his own words, remains loyal to Jomini’s ideas. In contrast, Corbett, although inspired by On War, develops ideas different from and sometimes contradictory to those of Clausewitz.


The Right To Humanitarian Assistance, Yoram Dinstein Apr 2018

The Right To Humanitarian Assistance, Yoram Dinstein

Naval War College Review

There is a growing demand in world opinion for extensions of the right to humanitarian assistance. That right is presently limited to the indispensable needs of civilian populations in times of armed conflict.


Complex Civil-Military Operations—A U.S. Military-Centric Perspective, John A. Gentry Apr 2018

Complex Civil-Military Operations—A U.S. Military-Centric Perspective, John A. Gentry

Naval War College Review

U.S. military forces have not performed well in certain operations in recent years. The root cause of the problem is a mismatch between the demands of such operations and the organization, doctrine, and even culture of the units assigned to perform them.


Alternatives Futures In War And Conflict, Michael Renner Apr 2018

Alternatives Futures In War And Conflict, Michael Renner

Naval War College Review

The violence of many contemporary armed struggles is not an expression of clear political or military objectives but instead a manifestation of the chaos ensuing from state failure. Traditional military conceptions of war do not apply in that situation.


Through A Glass, Darkly, Martin Van Creveld Apr 2018

Through A Glass, Darkly, Martin Van Creveld

Naval War College Review

Confronted with its own supreme product, nuclear weapons, large-scale interstate war as a phenomenon is slowly but surely being squeezed below the historical horizon. What will arise in its place?

Whom The Gods Would Destroy, Robert D. Critchlow Apr 2018

Whom The Gods Would Destroy, Robert D. Critchlow

Naval War College Review

The ability of the U.S. nuclear arsenal to deter and compel smaller WMD-owning adversaries is growing smaller; an alternative strategy is required. Information warfare can provide that alternative.

“A Nation Blessed”, George Bush Apr 2018

“A Nation Blessed”, George Bush

Naval War College Review

Was the Gulf War a “preview of coming attractions”? The war made it obvious that the end of the Cold War had not meant the end of threats to American interests or to international peace and security. If we take our security for granted, the former president warned the Naval War College’s 2001 graduates, we do so at our own peril.


After The Storm—The Growing Convergence Of The Air Force And Navy, John L. Barry, James Blaker Apr 2018

After The Storm—The Growing Convergence Of The Air Force And Navy, John L. Barry, James Blaker

Naval War College Review

Are the services trying to improve their joint operational abilities fast enough? The answer, for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy, has its roots in their behavior in the late 1970s and 1980s. In the future, joint operational capabilities will accelerate dramatically, because of the growing convergence between service visions and doctrines.


Has It Worked?—The Goldwater-Nichols Reorganization Act, James R. Locher Iii Apr 2018

Has It Worked?—The Goldwater-Nichols Reorganization Act, James R. Locher Iii

Naval War College Review

The overall report card is mixed. In the operational dimension of the Defense Department, which its original sponsors considered most pressing, the Goldwater-Nichols Act has been very successful. The act’s “business” reforms, however, have not worked. These concerns, which may have been secondary fifteen years ago, are urgent now.


Defending Taiwan, And Why It Matters, Chris Rahman Apr 2018

Defending Taiwan, And Why It Matters, Chris Rahman

Naval War College Review

The Chinese threat to Taiwan is the primary near-term challenge to the East Asian order. As the Taiwanese are most unlikely to surrender willingly, and as the United States has a vital national interest at stake, a strong case can be made on strategic grounds for defending Taiwan’s de facto independent status, should the need arise. An Australian scholar makes that case.


How China Might Invade Taiwan, Piers M. Wood, Charles D. Ferguson Apr 2018

How China Might Invade Taiwan, Piers M. Wood, Charles D. Ferguson

Naval War College Review

A determined China could launch an invasion sooner than the five, ten, or twenty years that some have projected, though it would be unlikely to succeed if it made the attempt today. A phased, stepping-stone invasion would force Taiwan to decide whether to absorb casualties fighting in preliminary invasions or to conserve resources for a final stand on the main island.


Strategic Geography And The Greater Middle East, Robert Harkavy Apr 2018

Strategic Geography And The Greater Middle East, Robert Harkavy

Naval War College Review

Daily events in the Middle East, North Africa, the African Horn, South Asia, and ex-Soviet Central Asia offer little encouragement that this region is at the “end of history”—the end of major warfare and security rivalries. Two Gulf wars have been fought in recent memory, as well as Arab-Israeli and Indian-Pakistani wars. In that obvious sense, geopolitics is alive and well in the Greater Middle East.


The World According To Usama Bin Laden, Ahmed S. Hashim Apr 2018

The World According To Usama Bin Laden, Ahmed S. Hashim

Naval War College Review

Usama Bin Laden is a dangerous opponent, and so are those who might succeed him should he be killed. Bin Laden’s ideas and goals, however, remain little explored or understood. To grasp them, it is necessary to examine the regional and historical context, his experiences, and the sources of fundamentalist thought upon which he draws.
