The National Security Strategy (NSS) states that disease war and desperate poverty threaten the U.S.'s core value of preserving dignity as well as our strategic priority of combating global terrorism. Africa torn apart by war religious strife disease and poverty and marked by corruption weak judicial and financial regulatory systems porous borders and unregulated coastlines unfortunately epitomizes this NSS excerpt and is emerging as a haven for terrorists. These and other factors such as lack...

Intelligence gathering is a key element in fighting the chronic and difficult battles that make up an insurgency. Insurgency is defined as a political battle waged among a cooperative or acquiescent populace in order for a group of outsiders to take over (or at least undermine) the government of a nation. This is a contest of wills uneven resources chosen initiatives covert political and paramilitary operations and sometimes very public measures. Once the insurgency actively challenges the...

Among the leading concerns surrounding Homeland Security in the United States is Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP).

The U.S. public has come to expect that its troops will rapidly return home following decisive military victories in foreign lands. In Iraq, however, U.S. troops have not been able to rapidly return home. On the contrary, the U.S. has more troops deployed to Iraq now, during the stability operations phase, than it did during the major combat operations phase. Furthermore, although U.S. forces suffered approximately 150 deaths during the initial weeks of major combat operations, they lost almost...

The original edition of the Strategic Leadership Primer served the Army War College well as a basic overview of Strategic Leadership.

The Primer was useful because there was no other adequate work that described and defined strategic leadership in...

This essay considers four possible alternative solutions for Vietnam ranging from capitulation by the United States to continued military pressure until U.S. offers of unconditional negotiations are accepted. An analysis of these alternatives leads to the conclusion that in the present world climate, the United States must continue to offer unconditional negotiations and accept any opportunity to negotiate. However, the recommendation includes continuing military pressure until negotiations...

In 1949, for the first time in more than 100 years, all of China was effectively centralized by a Communist government. This Communist government has always been hostile to the United States, and, as Chinese power has grown, the seriousness of the confrontation has increased. This thesis takes the Chinese point of view and formulates objectives and policies for dealing with the threat to Chinese security posed by the United States' superior power. A review of Chinese history reveals that China...

The Strategic Defense Initiative has brought the Soviets to the bargaining table and made CFE a reality. The threat of nuclear and chemical...

Our nation's leaders should break out of the current military roles and missions debate and consider a more comprehensive restructuring of the U.S. defense establishment. In the face of the substantial downsizing now occurring, and likely to continue, the time is right for a major reorganization of the top levels of the U.S. Armed Forces. The purpose of this paper is to show why this is necessary and to suggest one way it might be done. The paper addresses: why the paradigm of roles and...

The US is facing a new enemy who is guided by extreme, fanatical, and narrowly defined theocratic principles. Al Qaeda's tactics, techniques, and procedures may seem to mimic those of other terrorist groups but their end state objectives are radically different than other groups bent on establishing a homeland or replacing an existing government. Killing of innocent civilians is not something new for terrorist tactics and Al Qaeda is certainly no different in this regard. The difference lies...

As Congress prepared a declaration of war against Japan after Pearl Harbor, one of the biggest questions they faced was whether they should also declare war on Germany. Many argued that the United States should declare war only on Japan, since Germany was not involved in the attack. The matter was soon resolved when Hitler acted first and declared war on the United States. But why did he declare war on the United States, a country with an almost limitless military potential? The Axis Treaty...

In the 224 years since our founding, we have come a long way, in terms of race relations.

Military officers are leaving the armed services at alarming rates. However, officers have always resigned from the services at high rates especially during drawdowns and periods of peace.

This paper will examine the history of compensation in the military services, relevant criticisms to...

Since the revolution that brought Castro to power thirty-seven years ago, U.S. Cuban relations have been characterized by mutual disdain, security concerns, and international competition for influence, with occasional partial respites. When the Cold War thawed, and the strategic justification for U.S. Cuban policy evaporated, powerful domestic factors kept it largely locked in place. U.S. policy towards Cuba seems inconsistent with both the National Security Strategy and economic goals for the...

Following the publication of the Army's Airland Battle doctrine in FM 100-5 in 1982, there was a renewed interest in the art of operational warfare. Along with this interest came the recognition that a senior leadership doctrine was needed to serve as a basis for leader development and command at the highest levels of the Army. To provide the leadership doctrine to accompany the AirLand Battle warfighting doctrine, FM 22-103 was published in 1987. This study examined the skills that FM 22-103...

U.S. policy towards Cuba has long lost its creative initiative and effectiveness.

However, recent changes on the island have for the first time opened up unique opportunities and windows to advance U.S....

Builds a systematic, well organized case to make his point in a very convincing manner. This research is broad, but well focused on the subject and skillfully blended quotes from Clausewitz to Kissinger building the case that morale/national will/public support should be elevated in our awareness by making it a principle of war.

In the western world Carl Von Clausewitz may be cited more often then any other theorist of war and with good reason. His combination of experience and analytical rigor has allowed him to speak with a timeless voice throughout the ages.

I would like to emphasize four pressing ethical issues for leaders in the military establishment to consider. The first is the danger posed by the acceptance of various forms of ethical relativism, or the blurring of right from wrong.

A second ethical issue every military leader should face is what I call the loyalty syndrome. This is the practice wherein...
