Thinking About Innovation, Williamson Murray
Thinking About Innovation, Williamson Murray
Naval War College Review
The Pentagon lives in a sea of slogans, elaborate electronic graphics, and a self-satisfied belief that new platforms will solve tactical and operational problems. But slick presentations do not equate to serious military thought, and technology has rarely been more than an enabler of revolutions.
Pueblo—A Retrospective, Richard Mobley
Pueblo—A Retrospective, Richard Mobley
Naval War College Review
Diplomacy ultimately freed the crew of the USS Pueblo, but as formerly classified documents show, in the first days of the crisis it was the military that was called upon to respond. Naval power would have played an important role in any immediate attempts to force Pyongyang to release the crew and ship.
“Good Games”—Challenges For The War-Gaming Community, Stuart H. Starr
“Good Games”—Challenges For The War-Gaming Community, Stuart H. Starr
Naval War College Review
In the opinion of numerous practitioners and observers, war gaming has reached a turning point. Today, a “good game” blends clear problem formulation, technical virtuosity, accurate data, scenario creativity, appropriate decision rules, and credible evaluation procedures.
Global 2000, Kenneth Watman
Global 2000, Kenneth Watman
Naval War College Review
Modern information technology and current concepts for its use did not free the Global 2000 participants from the need for certain traditional constraints, at least not to the extent envisioned in theoretical discussions of network-centric operations. The problem remains how to capture the predicted advantages of information-rich environments.
War-Gaming Network-Centric Warfare, Robert C. Rubel
War-Gaming Network-Centric Warfare, Robert C. Rubel
Naval War College Review
It is possible to design conventional games with a reasonable degree of validity, but to explore fully the needs of network-centric gaming we must go beyond traditional methods. The only way to game network-centric warfare is actually to create a network of players with shared awareness.
War Gaming In The Information Age—Theory And Purpose, Paul Bracken, Martin Shubik
War Gaming In The Information Age—Theory And Purpose, Paul Bracken, Martin Shubik
Naval War College Review
Impressive new technologies have not changed human beings and their abilities; neither have they changed the purposes of, or the principles behind, war gaming. They have added new problems, however, and made even more difficult problems that were critical twenty years ago.

Thinking About The Unthinkable—Unreasonable Exuberance?, Andrew L. Ross
Naval War College Review
Defense planners will not rush to embrace Admiral Turner’s nuclear-escrow scheme. Yet the details of the process Admiral Turner seeks to set in motion should not be allowed to obscure the grand purpose of the process and its significance. He is on the right track.
The Dilemma Of Nuclear Weapons In The Twenty-First Century, Stansfield Turner
The Dilemma Of Nuclear Weapons In The Twenty-First Century, Stansfield Turner
Naval War College Review
The United States does not need a reserve of nuclear weapons to take the offensive; something in the neighborhood of two hundred nuclear warheads will do for deterrence and retaliation. How did this nation ever get to a nuclear arsenal of 32,500 weapons?

The Legacy Of The White Oak Laboratory,, Frank C. Mahncke
The Legacy Of The White Oak Laboratory,, Frank C. Mahncke
Naval War College Review
The Navy has had a remarkable and pro- ductive group of in-house research and development laboratories. Sadly, with the drawdowns of the post–Cold War era, many have been closed, among them the “White Oak Laboratory”—the Naval Ordnance Laboratory at White Oak, Maryland. WOL, as it was popularly known, gave the Navy a tremendous leg- acy of technology, weapons, and people. Fortunately, that legacy has been pre- served by William Anspacher, Betty Gay, Donald Marlowe, Paul Morgan, and Samuel Raff in this richly detailed ac- count of the laboratory’s history.

Dog Boats At War: Royal Navy D Class Mtbs And Mgbs, 1939–1945,, Carl Otis Schuster
Naval War College Review
There are few untold stories left from World War II, but the actions of the Royal Navy’s Coastal Forces can be de- scribed as little known and unappreci- ated. Serving in small plywood craft much like the more famous American PT boats, the Coastal Forces wreaked havoc with Axis forces in British and foreign waters. Operating from small harbors and primitive forward bases, theirs was a war of small, close-knit crews and close action with the enemy. They did it all, from convoy escort to shipping interdic- tion, clandestine landings to reconnais- sance operations, and finally, distant screening for invasion …
American Airpower Strategy In Korea, 1950–1953, Wilfred F. Brown
American Airpower Strategy In Korea, 1950–1953, Wilfred F. Brown
Naval War College Review
Conrad Crane is a research professor for military strategy at the Strategic Studies Institute, U.S. Army War College, and formerly a professor of military history at the U.S. Military Academy. Crane previ- ously wrote Bombs, Cities, and Civilians: American Airpower Strategy in World War II (1993), which is widely respected for its rich and adroit analysis. American Airpower Strategy in Korea, 1950–1953 is a comprehensive, thoroughly researched treatment of the many issues that the newly constituted U.S. Air Force faced as a result of having to fight its first war as an independent service—a war that it was not doctrinally …
Norstad: Cold War Nato Supreme Commander—Airman, Strategist, Diplomat,, Douglas Kinnard
Norstad: Cold War Nato Supreme Commander—Airman, Strategist, Diplomat,, Douglas Kinnard
Naval War College Review
Lauris Norstad was a major Air Force leader during the defining years of the Cold War, and except for Dwight Eisen- hower, he was the most prominent of all the Supreme Allied Commanders Europe (SACEUR) since that position was estab- lished in early 1951. Surprisingly, up to now, nothing definitive had been written on his role as SACEUR. Robert Jordan, a professor at the University of New Or- leans and an authority on Nato, has filled that gap.
Identifying Potential Ethnic Conflict,, Pauletta Otis
Identifying Potential Ethnic Conflict,, Pauletta Otis
Naval War College Review
Since 1989, the U.S. military has been in- volved in a number of intrastate conflicts integrally related to ethnicity. These eth- nic conflicts have been devastating to those involved; the conflicts contributed to regional destabilization; and they have been assumed to breed international ter- rorism. Most saliently, they have virtually destroyed the hope of peace benefits that were predicted to accrue at the end of the Cold War.
The Changing Role Of Information In Warfare,, Eric J. Dahl
The Changing Role Of Information In Warfare,, Eric J. Dahl
Naval War College Review
Is there need for yet another book on the role of the military in the information age? To judge by this volume, a collection of essays published under RAND’s Project Air Force, the answer is yes—but this may be twice the book we need. In this case, more than enough is not necessarily better. The Changing Role of Information in War- fare is part of RAND’s Strategic Appraisal series, and it primarily addresses the ef- fects of information technology on American military planning and operations. The fifteen chapters provide a useful review of the dangers and oppor- tunities that information …

Chemical-Biological Defense: U.S. Military Policies Anddecisions In The Gulf War,, Pietro D. Marghella
Naval War College Review
Although we lived with the dangerous specter of nuclear attack for more than fifty years during the Cold War, concerns about the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) have virtually exploded into our consciousness in the past decade. Since the demise of the for- mer Soviet Union—once referred to as our “malefactor partner in the concept of mutually assured destruction”—our fears seem to focus far less on the threat of nu- clear holocaust, and more on the threat of attack by chemical or biological agents. The logical point of departure for this shift in focus seems to be the …
Planning The Unthinkable: How New Powers Will Use Nuclear, Biological,And Chemical Weapons,, K. A. Beyoghlow
Planning The Unthinkable: How New Powers Will Use Nuclear, Biological,And Chemical Weapons,, K. A. Beyoghlow
Naval War College Review
The title says it all. This book is a compi- lation of empirical and analytical data on the strategic evolution of nuclear, biolog- ical, and chemical (NBC) agents and weapons in the twenty-first century. A central theme of the book is how new re- gional players (states and nonstate ac- tors) are likely to convert prevalent conventional military doctrine and train- ing into nonconventional means of war- fare. The book is very ambitious in its scope; it attempts—overall, success- fully—to address systematically concep- tual problems in the integration of such weapons into the military infrastructure, delivery systems, command and control …

The Coast Guard And Navy, Colin S. Gray
The Coast Guard And Navy, Colin S. Gray
Naval War College Review
The U.S. Navy and the Coast Guard are natural complements, and this complementarity should be expressed practically, in a “national fleet” that is not mere rhetoric. The argument is new, but it is well established in historical practice. What should the Navy and Coast Guard do to aid each other?
New Insights From Old Books, Jon Sumida
New Insights From Old Books, Jon Sumida
Naval War College Review
The major arguments of Mahan are very different than has been supposed. Yet the issues that prompted him to put pen to paper remarkably resemble those of today—joint operations in coastal waters, global free trade, uncertainty about what America’s proper naval role should be, and a “revolution in naval affairs.”
