Blitzkrieg From The Sea: Maneuver Warfare And Amphibious Operations, Richard S. Moore

Naval War College Review

Recent military events have reinforced a long-held naval belief in the necessity for a maritime nation to maintain an amphibious assault capability. The British reconquest of the Falklands again demonstrated the efficacy of amphibious forces, even when outnumbered and facing high technology, stand-off weapons.

Naval War College Review

This issue of the Naval War College Review is devoted to the conference on "Security Policy in an Insecure Age," held in Newport from 12 to 15 May, 1982 and sponsored by the Center for Naval Warfare Studies. The conference was not concerned with naval issues per se but with the strategic context within which future naval issues must fit.

A Carrier For Admiral Gorshkov, Dov S. Zakheim

Naval War College Review

Over forty years ago, Joseph Stalin outlined to his senior naval officers his ideas for a new and powerful Soviet fleet. Among the ships he suggested for that fleer was the aircraft carrier, whose dominance in naval warfare had yet to be established-and, in fan, was not clearly demonstrated until the Battle of Midway. Stalin never lived to see his hopes fulfilled bur, if Navy testimony and intelligence reports prove accurate, the Soviet fleet will unveil its first large, fixed-wing aircraft carrier some time near the end of this decade.

Theater Nuclear Warfare And The U.S. Navy, T Wood Parker

Naval War College Review

Although considerable attention has been given to "tactical" nuclear warfare by some people in the U.S. Navy in the last 2 years, the Navy remains woefully deficient in this increasingly important area of operations. To be sure, the Chief of Naval Operations has directed the service to improve itself in this direction. He has established an office in Opnav, Op-65, that is directly responsible for nuclear warfare at seat for appropriate weapons development. and for the employment of those weapons. Additionally, he has established a new program manager, PM-23, in the Naval Material Command, also responsible for nuclear war­fare considerations.

Management Of Chronic Low Back Pain With A Nonpharmacological Pain Management Kit Among Military Personnel, Heidi M. Sterling Bsn, Rn, Dnp Student, Karen A. Macauley Phd, Dnp, Fnp-Bc, Gnp-Bc, Robert Topp Phd, Rn

Doctor of Nursing Practice Final Manuscripts

Background & Purpose:Low back pain is the second leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting 17% of Americans. Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is particularly debilitating among professions such as active duty military personnel (ADMP) who are required to maintain military readiness without the assistance of opioids. This scenario can result in individuals enduring untreated pain or resigning from participation in their unit. The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of providing a nonpharmacological pain management kit (NPMK) on pain and functional ability among ADMP who report CLBP.

Study Design:ADMP who suffer from CLBP were …

What Can Renaissance Studies Teach Us About Inclusivity?, Emily Kuffner

Headwaters

In this article I describe my pedagogical approach to sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish texts. I contend that by studying the cultural output of a remote historical period, modern students can examine mechanisms of exclusion without feeling compelled to defend their own identity or group. Racial dynamics are significantly different in the early modern period, when structural inequalities targeted religious minorities—the ‘conversos’ who were descendants of Jewish and Muslim inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula. Since students do not personally identify with either the hegemonic identity of the noble Spanish male nor with the converso, they are able to examine racial and …

Submarines In Soviet Asw Doctrine And Tactics, Milan Vego

Naval War College Review

Soviet naval doctrine views antisubmarine warfare as "the basic experience of war at sea as a whole." and it says that " victory will be achieved by the one who will consistently know the location of the submarines of the opposing side and who has the necessary means at his disposal to destroy them. "1 Antisubmarine defense, or PLO (Protivo­lodochnaya oborona), is "a struggle against submarines in a maritime theater of military activities"

Warfare In The Fourth Dimension-Ls The Navy Ready For It?, G. Guy Thomas

Naval War College Review

Most dictionaries define the fourth dimcnsmn as time, however, some military writings refer to a fourth dimension of military endeavor beyond the three traditional ones of sea, air and land. That dimension is the electromagnetic spectrum. The two concepts rnay, at first glance appear to have little in common with each other but, in fact, they are closely related. The battle for the electromagnetic spectrum is, in many respects, a battle for time.

Alliance Activism: Feminist And Videogame Learning Principles In Building An Identity-Based, Personal-Development Roadmap Addressing Subjective Bias And Discrimination, Delivered In A Mass-Briefing Format Using Videogame Terminology, Erik Anker

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

While many white individuals in America are antiracist in their attitudes, many are not. This makes conversations with whites around race a delicate space: addressing an imbalance of privilege with those who benefit from it. Additionally, to not alienate whites from antiracist causes by associating them with a historical identity seeped in racism calls for its own nuance. The project described in this thesis looks to address these concerns by providing whites with a roadmap for personal growth consisting of various identities for addressing bias, discrimination, and oppression in honest and proactive ways. The delivery of these identities could be …

Hush, Abigail Jane Agersea

University Honors Theses

In the midst of my freshman year of college in 2013, I was abducted and sexually assaulted while attending a party in my dorm building. I was taken away from my home under the influence of a date rape intoxicant, vanished from all consciousness and whisked into the darkness of that cold October night in Portland, Oregon. Fortunately, with the help from various doctors and two years of specialized rehabilitation, I have renewed my strength in mental stability, professionalism and verbal confidence to tell my story and establish a sense of closure for my own victimization.

To achieve this closure, …

A Central Role For Naval Forces? ... To Support The Land Battle, Andrew Jampoler

Naval War College Review

Western political and military leaders had some reason for satisfaction as they viewed the globe on the morning of D+30. First, the war was still a conventional one. The past 30 days had seen tragic loss of life and terrible destruction, but nothing like that which would have attended exchanges of tactical nuclear weapons on the continent of Europe.

Weapans Development, War Planning And Policy, J.E. Talbott

Naval War College Review

In revolutionizing war at sea, the submarine exerted a decisive influence on politics ashore, Germany's resort to unrestricted submarine warfare provoked American entry into World War I. The German Government's wager that strangling British seaborne communications would force Great Britain from the war, leaving France to bleed to death alone before American assistance arrived, proved to be a disastrous miscalculation.

President's Notes, James E. Service

Naval War College Review

A great source of the strength of the Naval War College (NWC) program is in its faculty. It is an unusual faculty in several ways. First, because it teaches both levels of advanced professional military education-the College of Naval Warfare and the College of Naval Command and Staff-colocated in Newport as component units of the Naval War College. That enables us to use our faculty in a most efficient manner, because of the economics of using them twice rather than only once at the senior level. Second, because it contains a heavy inter-service emphasis. Of 52 military faculty, 34 are …

The Evolution Of Soviet Thought On "Warfare In The Fourth Dimension, Floyd D. Kennedy Jr.

Naval War College Review

A number of authors lately have expressed proper concern about thereadiness of the US Navy to conduct warfare in a dimension other than the three conventional media: sea, air, and land.' This additional dimension, the electromagnetic spectrum, is as vital a battlefield in wartime as any of the other three, perhaps even more so. While Americans have consistently been in the forefront of the technical development of electronic warfare (EW) equipment, we have not, at the same time, been quick to exploit its operational utility across the entire spectrum of warfare.

Friendly Force Dilemmas In Europe: Challenges Within And Among Intergovernmental Organizations And The Implications For The U.S. Army, Jose Luis Calvo Albero Colonel, Angus Mcafee Colonel, Stefano Messina Colonel, Kirk Gallinger Colonel

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

After a period of stability, the transatlantic community is facing considerable challenges in maintaining European security. Russia’s efforts to destabilize Europe, terrorism, climate change, energy insecurity, migration, fracturing European identity, and the reemergence of nationalist populism challenge the ability of European institutions to perform their central functions. Different visions for Europe’s future and the lack of a shared threat perception add to these dilemmas.

The U.S. military can help to shape these “friendly force dilemmas” by influencing European actors and institutions, promoting positive change through the U.S. interagency, and providing capabilities to tackle the theater-specific challenges.

The Pious And Political Networks Of Catherine Of Siena, Aubrie Kent

University Honors Theses

This project looks at the career of St. Catherine of Siena and argues that without the relationships she had with her closest followers, who provided social connections and knowledge of the operation of political power, she would not have been able to pursue as active or wide-ranging a career. The examination of Catherine’s relationships, the careers of her followers, and the ways she made use of this network of support, relies mainly on Catherine's extant letters. Most prior research on St. Catherine focuses on her spirituality and work with the papacy, which leaves out the influence of her local, political …

Satellites At Sea: Space And Naval Warfare, Louise Hodgden

At present, the most important advances in naval combat capability are not those resulting from changes in the structure of the fleet. Instead, the most salient changes in fleet combat capability have their origins in the modernization of fleet electronics.

Tactical Concentration And Surprise-In Theory, Theodore C. Taylor

Naval War College Review

In 1914 the brilliant and remarkably versatile English engineer, Frederick William Lanchester, published a series of articles which he later consolidated into a book entitled, Aircraft in Warfare: The Dawn of the Fourth Arm. The best-remembered result of his intellectual excursion into military theory is a simple mathematical expression of the principle of concentration, called the "n-square Law," that defines what Lanchester called the relative "fighting strengths" of military forces in terms of their "numerical strengths" and the "fighting values," of the individual units.

New Soviet Methods For Antisubmarine Warfare?, James M. Mcconnell

Naval War College Review

In the summer of 1982 there was an apparent shift in Soviet views on the future potential for combating submarines. The following points, to be discussed in some detail, trace the perceived evolution of this shift.discussed in some detail, trace the perceived evolution of this shift. From the early 1970s, Soviet emphasis had been on the submarine's great capacity for concealment and the decreasing cost-effectiveness of antisubmarine warfare (ASW) as a "law-governed" trend extending into the foreseeable future.
