A Military History Of Japan: From The Age Of The Samurai To The 21st Century, By John T. Kuehn, J. Overton

Naval War College Review

Japan is at an inflection point. Depending on how particular peoples and nations view this enigmatic country, it now either is turning away from rightly enforced demilitarization and back toward the more martial and expansionist policies of its past, or is working to become a security provider concomitant with its economic power.

Torch: North Africa And The Allied Path To Victory, By Vincent P. O' Hara, Richard J. Norton

Naval War College Review

In the literary mountain of scholarship, research, and writing devoted to World War II, the story of Operation TORCH, the Allied landings in North Africa in November of 1942, is presented often as something of an overture to the massive amphibious symphonies that followed.

Foundations Of Moral Obligation, Thomas J. Gibbons

Naval War College Review

In these times of ethical uncertainty, especially among senior Navy leaders amid the ongoing “Fat Leonard” fiasco, we need to look to our roots. The Foundations of Moral Obligation elective, otherwise known as “The Stockdale Course,” has been a mainstay at the Naval War College (NWC) for most of the past forty years.

Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale, USN, the fortieth President of the College, collaborated with Dr. Joseph Brennan, a professor emeritus from Columbia University’s Barnard College, to develop the elective shortly after Stockdale assumed the presidency. Little did they know how popular the elective would become and the …

Epictetus Vs. Aristotle, Mark N. Jensen

Naval War College Review

The virtue theoretic approach to ethics locates moral value primarily in the character of the agent rather than in the rules governing an act or the con- sequences that follow from it. Concerns about the character of the agent long have been a central preoccupation of military organizations.

Organization And Innovation, Greg Smith

Naval War College Review

In 2015, the Secretary of the Navy asserted that the F-35 likely would be the last manned fighter aircraft the Navy would buy, and the Department of Defense (DoD) embarked on a Third Offset Strategy that plans to leverage unmanned and autonomous systems (UASs) and human-machine teams to ensure technologi- cal superiority over potential adversaries.

Impacts Of The Robotics Age On Naval Force Design, Effectiveness, And Acquisition, Jeffrey E. Kline

Naval War College Review

The twenty-first century will see the emergence of maritime powers that have the capacity and capability to challenge the U.S. Navy for control of the seas. Unfortunately, the Navy’s ability to react to emerging maritime powers’ rapid growth and technological advancement is constrained by its own planning, acquisition, and political processes. Introducing our own technology advances is hindered as well.

Tactics Of Strategic Competition, Van Jackson

Naval War College Review

Defense analysts and policy makers now refer routinely to the challenges of operating in a “gray zone” of conflict, which coincides with recent scholarly efforts to analyze more rigorously conflicts short of traditional coercion or war. Yet despite its frequent contemporary usage, the term gray zone does not seem to describe anything new.

Maritime Trade Warfare, Christopher J. Mcmahon

Naval War College Review

Maritime trade warfare, also called commerce warfare, is a naval/military strategy that has been followed since ancient times. 1 The idea of maritime trade warfare is to attack or neutralize the commercial shipping of one’s enemy in an effort to disrupt the enemy’s economy, make it more difficult for the enemy to continue waging war by disrupting the enemy’s military supply chain that uses the sea, or both.

President’S Forum, Jeffrey A.. Harley

Naval War College Review

Since assuming my position as Naval War College (NWC) President last July, I have identified four broad elements of a vision under which the institution will Operationalize, Navalize, Futurize, and Internationalize its education and research efforts, with an overall goal of contributing to the professionalism and capabilities of the nation’s future leaders.

Previously I addressed aspects of the vision’s operationalization component in the Naval War College Review’s Winter 2017 issue and navalization in the Spring 2017 issue. In this issue I will outline the actions we are taking on futurization.

National Interest And Moral Responsibility In The Political Thought Of Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, Thomas F.X. Varacalli

Naval War College Review

Mahan’s political thought, based on a combination of national interest and moral responsibility, marked him as neither a trigger-happy imperialist nor a rambunctious schoolboy but a soberminded observer of world affairs.

The Battle Of Quemoy: The Amphibious Assault That Held The Postwar Military Balance In The Taiwan Strait, Maochun Miles Yu

Naval War College Review

The 1949 battle of Quemoy, a significant event in the military history of the People’s Republic of China, was not only a turning point for the civil war that remains unresolved across the Taiwan Strait but also the beginning of a chain of events that shaped the Cold War throughout Asia and the Pacific region for decades.

Who’S At The Helm? The Past, Present, And Future Leaders Of China’S Navy, Jeffrey Becker

Naval War College Review

The PLA Navy is undergoing a substantial leadership transition, from an Old Guard that is fast retiring to a Rising Cohort, to be followed by its Future Leadership, representing a profound shift in professional education, training, international experience, and direct experience with new operations.

The 1974 Paracels Sea Battle: A Campaign Appraisal, Toshi Yoshihara

Naval War College Review

The Paracels battle of 1974 illustrates a continuity in China’s creative use of naval and nonmilitary instruments of sea power. The apparent efficacy of mixing unorthodox methods with traditional tools of war suggests that China may turn to this playbook again in future confrontations in the South China Sea.

The Effect Of The Goldwater-Nichols Act Of 1986 On Naval Strategy, 1987–1994, Steven Wills

Naval War College Review

The Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986 fundamentally altered the process by which the U.S. Navy developed both strategy and the people involved in creating it, affecting the Navy’s ability to produce war-winning global strategic concepts in response to threats that can no longer be contained by regional planning alone.
