Come The Revolution—Transforming The Asia-Pacific’S Militaries, Richard A. Bitzinger
Come The Revolution—Transforming The Asia-Pacific’S Militaries, Richard A. Bitzinger
Naval War College Review
The Asia-Pacific militaries are making impressive strides in modernization, but modernization and transformation are not the same thing. What is impeding their progress in fully implementing the revolution in military affairs? Do they need to do that? What will happen if they do not?
Why Doesn’T America Have A Nelson?—Does It Need One?, James Holmes
Why Doesn’T America Have A Nelson?—Does It Need One?, James Holmes
Naval War College Review
The U.S. Navy has yet to produce a commander who can equal Nelson’s combination of war-fighting excellence, personal gallantry, and public prominence. Whether the Navy can produce one today, absent a powerful rival on the high seas, is doubtful at best.

Secrets: A Memoir Of Vietnam And The Pentagon Papers, Ken Hagan
Secrets: A Memoir Of Vietnam And The Pentagon Papers, Ken Hagan
Naval War College Review
For Americans who were adults during the Vietnam War, the name Daniel Ellsberg is portentous; it either suggests a whiff of treason or connotes heroic patriotism. Ellsberg is a Marine Corps veteran, Harvard Ph.D., former senior official in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, a highly regarded analyst for the RAND Corporation, and a civilian observer of platoon-level combat in Vietnam who defiantly chose to “walk point” with the troops he was observ- ing. In March 1971, Ellsberg released to the New York Times a seven-thousand- page, highly classified Department of Defense history of American involve- ment in Vietnam. …

The Other Side Of The Mountain: Mujahideen Tactics In Thesoviet-Afghan War, William C. Green
Naval War College Review
What could be both more poignant and ludicrous than Commander Abdul Baqi Balots’s account of his survival of a firefight in which his closest friend was killed? “I saw a lot of Soviets coming at me and they were all firing (they put ten bullet holes through my baggy trousers).... Habib Noor told me that, un- less we crossed the stream to the north, we would not be able to engage the Soviets. . . . I ran across and jumped but landed directly into the stream. ‘Oh, Al- lah,’ I cried, ‘you have killed me without dignity.’ Then I …

From Kadesh To Kandahar, Michael Evans
From Kadesh To Kandahar, Michael Evans
Naval War College Review
The problems facing strategists and military professionals in the early twenty-first century have changed dramatically and decisively. Military power and capability have expanded into a network of transnational interconnections. As a result, preparing for armed conflict is no longer only a matter of simply assembling battlefield strength to destroy defined adversaries.
Transforming The Navy, Peter J. Dombrowski, Andrew L. Ross
Transforming The Navy, Peter J. Dombrowski, Andrew L. Ross
Naval War College Review
Judged against the expectations created by President Bush and his defense team, the Navy’s transformation enterprise falls short. However, no compelling strategic rationale for military transformation has yet been articulated. A revolution in military affairs is not required for the maintenance of U.S. military dominance specifically or American primacy generally, or for fighting and winning the global war on terror.
Is The U.S. Navy Being Marginalized?, Stansfield Turner
Is The U.S. Navy Being Marginalized?, Stansfield Turner
Naval War College Review
The U.S. Navy’s traditional missions are generally less relevant today than in recent decades, because of advances in technology and changes in the global environment. To meet the radically altered requirements now placed upon military forces, the Navy must transform itself, mission by mission. It is a tall order.
China’S Closing Window Of Opportunity, Justin Bernier, Stuart Gold
China’S Closing Window Of Opportunity, Justin Bernier, Stuart Gold
Naval War College Review
American civilian and military leaders must dismiss the fatally flawed theory that time is on China’s side in the struggle over the fate of Taiwan. The real danger of a PRC attack is in this decade, when Taiwan is most vulnerable, not in the next. Closer military ties with Taiwan, more cautious dealings with China, a strengthened U.S. naval and air presence in the western Pacific, and complementary nonmilitary measures are needed.
The United States, North Korea, And The End Of Theagreed Framework, Jonathan D. Pollack
The United States, North Korea, And The End Of Theagreed Framework, Jonathan D. Pollack
Naval War College Review
The abrupt collapse of the U.S.–North Korea Agreed Framework has triggered mounting international concern over the longer-term consequences for the global nonproliferation regime. It has also exacerbated the most serious tensions in the fifty-year history of the U.S.–Republic of Korea alliance, quite possibly laying the groundwork for a major regional crisis unparalleled since the Korean War. How and why did this major policy breakdown occur?
President’S Forum, Rodney P. Rempt
President’S Forum, Rodney P. Rempt
Naval War College Review
On a recent flight from the west coast I was seated next to an articulate young business executive, who asked me, “Why does the Navy have a war college?” As a businessman, he was wondering about the “return on investment” that the American taxpayers get for the portion of the Navy’s budget that we consume each year. It was a fair question, and I think the answer I gave to this impromptu question is worth sharing with you.

From Here To There—The Strategy And Force Planning Framework, P. H. Liotta, Richmond M. Lloyd
Naval War College Review
Today’s decisions about strategy and force planning fundamentally influence future strategy and force posture. A proposed “Strategy and Force Planning Framework” may help planners and strategists ask the right questions, appreciate complex dynamics, and address in a comprehensive way the important factors present in strategic decision making.
The Unraveling And Revitalization Of U.S. Navyantisubmarine Warfare, John R. Benedict
The Unraveling And Revitalization Of U.S. Navyantisubmarine Warfare, John R. Benedict
Naval War College Review
Antisubmarine warfare in the U.S. Navy has been allowed to deteriorate since the end of the Cold War. The growing threat demands that ASW be restored to health, and the Navy appears to be on the brink of a real commitment. However, the pace of revitalization will be significantly less than it needs to be if sustained support, effective organization, and ample resources are not forthcoming.
If The Nuclear Taboo Gets Broken, George H. Quester
If The Nuclear Taboo Gets Broken, George H. Quester
Naval War College Review
Another use of nuclear weapons, for the first time since Nagasaki, is far from inevitable, but giving advance thought to the ways it could happen and to the policies that would be appropriate in response may be essential to heading it off.
Space-Based Weapons—Long-Term Strategic Implications And Alternatives, David C. Hardesty
Space-Based Weapons—Long-Term Strategic Implications And Alternatives, David C. Hardesty
Naval War College Review
Basing weapons in space might in the short term increase U.S. military capabilities, but their broader, long-term effect would be negative—especially because of likely foreign responses, inherent vulnerabilities, and crisis destabilization. A decision not to deploy weapons in space, and a treaty discouraging other nations from deploying them, would be much more in the national interest.
The Russo-Japanese War—Primary Causes Of Japanese Success, Yoji Koda
The Russo-Japanese War—Primary Causes Of Japanese Success, Yoji Koda
Naval War College Review
In the first years of the twentieth century, Japanese leaders, with little experience in international issues, raised the nation’s stature, developed appropriate strategies, showed excellent qualities of leadership and coordination, and so won a crucial victory in the Russo-Japanese War. But if that was the high point of Imperial Japan, it was also the beginning of the end.

Tank: The Progress Of A Monstrous War Machine, David Rodman
Tank: The Progress Of A Monstrous War Machine, David Rodman
Naval War College Review
The tank constitutes perhaps the most readily identifiable symbol of land war- fare. From its initial appearance during World War I to the final stage of the Gulf War, its considerable impact on the outcome of some of last century’s most significant wars is not in doubt. Whether battles were fought on the plains of Eastern Europe or in the deserts of the Middle East, the opponent that made better use of the tank generally emerged victorious. In the early twenty-first century, the tank remains the dominant instrument of land war- fare.
