The South African Navy And African Maritime Security, Deane-Peter Baker Mar 2018

The South African Navy And African Maritime Security, Deane-Peter Baker

Naval War College Review

History, budgetary constraints, and national policy choices have left the South African Navy unable to contribute substantially to the region’s maritime security. There is hope for change, however, and a possible way forward.


A Remarkable Military Feat: The Hungnam Redeployment, December 1950, Donald Chisholm Mar 2018

A Remarkable Military Feat: The Hungnam Redeployment, December 1950, Donald Chisholm

Naval War College Review

The requirement for amphibious withdrawal does not come along often, but when it does, there is little better guidance than how it was done in December 1950 in Korea—when it had to be done on short notice, on a large scale, and under fire.


American Civil-Military Relations: Samuel P. Huntington And The Political Dimensions Of Military Professionalism, Dayne E. Nix Phd Mar 2018

American Civil-Military Relations: Samuel P. Huntington And The Political Dimensions Of Military Professionalism, Dayne E. Nix Phd

Naval War College Review

Huntington held that the American constitutional system inevitably draws military leaders into the political process. Has the result been a “troubled quality” in American civil-military relations or proof of the vitality of the constitutional system?


What Military Officers Need To Know About Civil-Military Relations, Mackubin Thomas Owens Mar 2018

What Military Officers Need To Know About Civil-Military Relations, Mackubin Thomas Owens

Naval War College Review

How informed are civilian leaders when they choose to commit the military instrument? How well does the prevailing pattern of civil-military relations enable the integration of divergent and even contradictory views? Does this pattern ensure a practical military strategy that properly serves the ends of national policy?


Taking Mines Seriously: Mine Warfare In China’S Near Seas, Scott C. Truver Mar 2018

Taking Mines Seriously: Mine Warfare In China’S Near Seas, Scott C. Truver

Naval War College Review

China has a large, growing, and modernizing capability for naval mines, one that could greatly hinder U.S. operations in any Taiwan scenario. China’s mine-countermeasures capacity is less robust— but so, unfortunately, is the corresponding offensive mining capacity of the United States.


Networking The Global Maritime Partnership, Stephanie Hszieh, George Galdorisi, Terry Mckearney, Darren Sutton Mar 2018

Networking The Global Maritime Partnership, Stephanie Hszieh, George Galdorisi, Terry Mckearney, Darren Sutton

Naval War College Review

The difficulties of multinational naval networking are greater today, and require solutions more urgently, than ever. The work of a five-nation technical cooperation program offers a promising model for addressing them effectively.

An Amphibious Capability In Japan’S Self-Defense Force: Operationalizing Dynamic Defense, Justin Goldman Mar 2018

An Amphibious Capability In Japan’S Self-Defense Force: Operationalizing Dynamic Defense, Justin Goldman

Naval War College Review

An amphibious capability would offer Japanese leaders new flexibility, especially in the increasingly volatile offshore islands zone—given improvements in equipment, doctrine, and especially interservice integration.


Maritime Deception And Concealment: Concepts For Defeating Wide-Area Oceanic Surveillance-Reconnaissance-Strike Networks, Jonathan F. Solomon Mar 2018

Maritime Deception And Concealment: Concepts For Defeating Wide-Area Oceanic Surveillance-Reconnaissance-Strike Networks, Jonathan F. Solomon

Naval War College Review

Deception and concealment can help mitigate the risks that an adversary might cripple U.S. forward maritime forces in a massive, war-opening strike, achieve in the first days or weeks some fait accompli, or inflict severe losses on maritime forces as they maneuver within a contested zone to retake the initiative.


Thucydides On Policy, Strategy, And War Termination, Karl Walling Mar 2018

Thucydides On Policy, Strategy, And War Termination, Karl Walling

Naval War College Review

The ancient historian and political theorist Thucydides supplies a microcosm of warfare, addressing the fundamental and recurring problems of strategy at all times and places—origins, objectives, and other strategic issues that those who wage war ignore at their peril. But we will never understand his work unless we try to understand him on his own terms.


Thucydides: Theorist Of War, Williamson Murray Mar 2018

Thucydides: Theorist Of War, Williamson Murray

Naval War College Review

Thucydides did not set out to be a theorist in his account of the Peloponnesian War. Rather, his analysis of the great war between Athens and Sparta helps to clarify not only the events of that war but also fundamental, theoretical truths about the nature and consequences of human conflict.


National Policy And The Post-Systemic Navy, Robert C. Rubel Mar 2018

National Policy And The Post-Systemic Navy, Robert C. Rubel

Naval War College Review

If what happens overseas affects what happens here in North America, then the United States needs to have a voice and influence in overseas affairs. The Navy and the Marine Corps have served as the sources of that instrumentality on a day-to-day basis. How? How will they do so in the already emerging future?
