Pueblo—A Retrospective, Richard Mobley Apr 2018

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 Apr 2018

“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 Apr 2018

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 Apr 2018

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 Apr 2018

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 Apr 2018

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 Apr 2018

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?

Thinking Out Of The Box—Reading Military Texts From A Different Perspective, Phillip J. Ridderhof Apr 2018

Thinking Out Of The Box—Reading Military Texts From A Different Perspective, Phillip J. Ridderhof

Naval War College Review

The “deconstruction” of texts—a postmodernist technique that denies the existence of objectively true meanings—can be usefully applied, with adaptations, to the military world. A Marine officer argues that it generates valuable insights by identifying everything that a document’s drafters thought most important, less important, and not important enough to mention.


It Is Time To Temper Our Excessive Interventionism, Doug Bandow Apr 2018

It Is Time To Temper Our Excessive Interventionism, Doug Bandow

Naval War College Review

Threats today are very different from what they once were. Nuclear threats can be deterred or warded off; such conventional threats as exist are primarily to American allies—and the allies can handle them. Terrorism will require entirely different forces and responses. But the United States persists in an outmoded Cold War–era, interventionist posture that no longer fits the world environment.


“9/11” And After—A British View, Michael Howard Apr 2018

“9/11” And After—A British View, Michael Howard

Naval War College Review

To call the struggle against terrorism “America’s War,” perhaps even a war at all, is to miss its full significance, argues one of the world’s most distinguished military historians. It is a global confrontation between those who believe in the values of the Enlightenment and those who detest and fear them. In this confrontation armed force must inevitably play a part, but it can never be won by militaries alone—not even those of the United States.
