Avoiding Trivia: The Role Of Strategic Planning In American Foreign Policy, Thomas G. Mahnken Mar 2018

Avoiding Trivia: The Role Of Strategic Planning In American Foreign Policy, Thomas G. Mahnken

Naval War College Review

Students of American national security policy, particularly those without the benefit of firsthand policy-making experience, frequently under- or over- estimate the difficulty of formulating and implementing strategy in the U.S. government. As a result, observers tend either to portray senior policy makers as dolts or incompetents or to engage in a sort of strategic nihilism holding that it is impossible to develop sound strategy in this day and age.

Organizing Opnav (1970–2009), Thomas Culora

Naval War College Review

For any institution adapting to change, the dreaded “R-word” (reorganization) has come to represent an often disrup- tive, albeit necessary, transition. But as the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) authors Peter Swartz and Michael Markowitz clearly highlight, reorgani- zation has been the near-normal state for the Navy Staff (OPNAV) over the past several decades. Conducted under the sponsorship of the Naval History and Heritage Command, this CNA re- port effectively tracks the numerous changes in the organization of OPNAV in response to changes both in Chiefs of Naval Operations (CNOs) and in the strategic and budgetary environments since 1970.

Naval War College Review

“Abu Ghraib,” “Guantanamo,” “water boarding,” and “torture” are politically charged and evocative terms that bring to mind interrogation. Nine years into the Afghanistan and Iraq wars (though the “combat phase” of the latter has re- cently ended), strenuous debate continues over the efficacy of human intelli- gence (HUMINT) techniques employed to obtain critical information. It is my definite sense that this debate has become so politically charged as to be counter- productive. Since interrogation often provides the essential elements of information in asymmetrical-warfare analysis, perhaps the time has come to end the debate and ask the question, “How is the …


Asymmetric Warfare At Sea, Thomas G. Mahnken Mar 2018

Asymmetric Warfare At Sea, Thomas G. Mahnken

Naval War College Review

During the six months between August 1942 and February 1943, the waters around the island of Guadalcanal witnessed an almost constant struggle between the Japanese and American navies. The campaign included more than a half-dozen major battles, many of which occurred at night. Although the U.S. Navy enjoyed a technological advantage over the Imperial Japanese Navy, including its widespread adoption of radar, it lost all but one of the campaign’s major engagements.

Naval War College Review

As the United States enters its tenth year at war with an amorphous yet brutal enemy, it is worth stepping back from the familiar policy issues we continue to debate as a nation to reflect on what it means for our armed forces to be at war today. Ten years ago, the critical issue facing the American military was widely said to be “transformation”—the refashioning of our armed forces principally through the introduction of new technologies that would enable us to retain our competitive edge in the new networked security environment of the twenty-first century.

German War Gaming, Milan Vego Mar 2018

German War Gaming, Milan Vego

Naval War College Review

Modern war gaming arose in Germany in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and greatly contributed to the superb quality of the German military in the twentieth. Aspects of the German approach would have substantial value for the U.S. military today.


“Decided Preponderance At Sea”: Naval Diplomacy In Strategic Thought, Kevin Rowlands Mar 2018

“Decided Preponderance At Sea”: Naval Diplomacy In Strategic Thought, Kevin Rowlands

Naval War College Review

The literature shows that naval diplomacy has been used since man first put to sea in ships and that its history can be traced down through the years ever since, with varying emphases, interpretations, and terminology. The future may see new aspects of an old role, a “postmodern” naval diplomacy.


Drowning Stability: The Perils Of Naval Nuclearization And Brinkmanship In The Indian Ocean, Iskander Rehman Mar 2018

Drowning Stability: The Perils Of Naval Nuclearization And Brinkmanship In The Indian Ocean, Iskander Rehman

Naval War College Review

The epicenter of Indo-Pakistani nuclear rivalry is drifting outward from the subcontinental landmass into the Indian Ocean, from the dusty plains of Punjab and Rajasthan into the world’s most congested shipping lanes. If this haphazard naval nuclearization remains unchecked, its destabilizing effect will spill over into the Persian Gulf and beyond.


Building The Purple Ford: An Affordable Approach To Jointness, Robert P. Kozloski Mar 2018

Building The Purple Ford: An Affordable Approach To Jointness, Robert P. Kozloski

Naval War College Review

It can be argued that the inefficiencies that appalled Harry Truman during World War II are now worse, and more costly, despite several efforts since then to reform the Defense Department. But the “easy choice” of reducing end strength to survive the forthcoming budget reductions should be considered only after all means of reducing unnecessary overhead have been exhausted.


Between Peace And The Air-Sea Battle: A War At Sea Strategy, Jeffrey E. Kline, Wayne P. Hughes, Jr. Mar 2018

Between Peace And The Air-Sea Battle: A War At Sea Strategy, Jeffrey E. Kline, Wayne P. Hughes, Jr.

Naval War College Review

A war-at-sea strategy, by confining conflict to the sea without land invasion or strike, would provide U.S. political leadership less intrusive ways to deter war, resolve crises with less threat of escalation, and in peacetime inspire allied engagement.


Command Of The Sea: An Old Concept Resurfaces In A New Form, Robert C. Rubel Mar 2018

Command Of The Sea: An Old Concept Resurfaces In A New Form, Robert C. Rubel

Naval War College Review

“Command of the sea” is not and maybe should not be a doctrinal term, but its utility as a tool for strategic analysis has reemerged. Some may be uncomfortable with its hegemonic overtones, but current and sophisticated understanding of it should improve programmatic analysis and tactical development.

Deterrence Through Strength: British Naval Power And Foreign Policyunder Pax Britannica, Angus K. Ross Mar 2018

Deterrence Through Strength: British Naval Power And Foreign Policyunder Pax Britannica, Angus K. Ross

Naval War College Review

Historians have long argued about the true mechanism behind a ninety-year period of relative peace in Europe, a period that began with the end of the Napoleonic wars and became known as the Pax Britannica. Over the years critics have questioned both aspects of this term—whether the period was actually as peaceful as its title suggests and whether that peace really was, in large part, due to Great Britain’s overwhelming and imposing com- mercial, industrial, financial, and naval might.


Conquered Into Liberty: Two Centuries Of Battles Along The Great Warpaththat Made The American Way Of War, Ken Jensen Mar 2018

Conquered Into Liberty: Two Centuries Of Battles Along The Great Warpaththat Made The American Way Of War, Ken Jensen

Naval War College Review

The American way of war—a product of two centuries of war with . . .Canada? How can that be? Civil War history and the experience and his- tory of World War II have driven out of our minds a truth known to James Fenimore Cooper, Francis Parkman, and Kenneth Roberts. The American colonies, thereafter the United States, fought battle after battle with France, Britain, and Canada throughout most of the seventeenth century and un- til the early nineteenth century. The place of these battles was then called the Great Warpath, stretching from Albany to Montreal and Quebec.
