Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1991 and 1993, the Army formulated a fighting doctrine recast to fit the power demands of a new strategic world. This new power-order replaced the Army's earlier "AirLand Battle" doctrine, first issued in 1982. This monograph addresses several questions revolving around the rapid replacement, less than 2 years after its success in the desert war, of a recognized and successful fighting doctrine. Discusses the roots of U.S. Army doctrine and the antecedent developments leading to the Army's recasting of its key battle doctrine. Examines the mechanism of the process of change, the effects of the new doctrine and how it was implemented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Army Doctrine for the Post-Cold War is an important record of how the Army and its Training and Doctrine Command developed the post-Cold War military operational doctrine in response to the geopolitical shift that introduced a new strategic era. John L. Romjue methodically details the overarching concerns of senior leaders, acutely aware of radically altered security assumptions that demanded a revised and broader doctrine by which American land forces could respond to diverse global missions. It is enlightened reading for Army educators, trainers, doctrine planners, and combat developers involved in the ongoing Army Transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines the relationship between formal U.S. Army operational doctrine and practice in nontraditional missions during the post-Cold War era. Since its inception, the United States Army has been deployed most frequently in peacekeeping, peace enforcement, and humanitarian operations. Yet the organization has consistently---almost exclusively---prepared its soldiers to fight large-scale battles against similarly arrayed armies. In the aftermath of the Cold War, the Army has undertaken nontraditional missions with greater frequency, using more resources, than ever before. In 1993 the Army published "new" operational doctrine to reflect the changing international system and corresponding national security policy and strategy. Formal keystone doctrine provided principles, guidelines, and tasks unique to the challenges of military operations short of war. However, the Army continued to train, educate, organize and deploy troops primarily for war, virtually marginalizing nontraditional missions in spite of formal doctrine. This study seeks to uncover whether and why Army doctrine does not match up to practice. Along the way it traces the evolution of the American way of war as well as its approach to nontraditional missions; clarifies crucial concepts left conspicuously ambiguous in the prevailing literature (such as military doctrine and practice); juxtaposes post-Cold War military doctrine and practice, setting up a framework to uncover their disjunction; and finally, sets up the doctrine-practice relationship as a new dependent variable to be tested against the prevailing theoretical explanations of military organizational change, including Realism, Organization Theory, Institutional Theory, and Organizational Culture Theory. This study concludes that Army practice only marginally matched formal doctrine during the 1990s. Systematic testing of the new dependent variable reveals that a version of Organizational Culture Theory best explains the existing doctrine-practice relationship. Because the Army approaches nontraditional missions in an ad-hoc fashion, failing to provide long term institutionally recognized organizational learning---virtually reinventing the wheel for each new nontraditional deployment---it has struggled in its effort to carry out national security strategy. Without change, the U.S. Army risks costly setbacks in what appears to be its most likely missions in the foreseeable future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relative roles of U.S. ground and air power have shifted since the end of the Cold War. At the level of major operations and campaigns, the Air Force has proved capable of and committed to performing deep strike operations, which the Army long had believed the Air Force could not reliably accomplish. If air power can largely supplant Army systems in deep operations, the implications for both joint doctrine and service capabilities would be significant. To assess the shift of these roles, the author of this report analyzed post?Cold War conflicts in Iraq (1991), Bosnia (1995), Kosovo (1999), Afghanistan (2001), and Iraq (2003). Because joint doctrine frequently reflects a consensus view rather than a truly integrated joint perspective, the author recommends that joint doctrine-and the processes by which it is derived and promulgated-be overhauled. The author also recommends reform for the services beyond major operations and campaigns to ensure that the United States attains its strategic objectives. This revised edition includes updates and an index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the formulation of doctrine since World War II. In no comparable period in history have the dimensions of the battlefield been so altered by rapid technological changes. The need for the tactical doctrines of the Army to remain correspondingly abreast of these changes is thus more pressing than ever before. Future conflicts are not likely to develop in the leisurely fashions of the past where tactical doctrines could be refined on the battlefield itself. It is, therefore, imperative that we apprehend future problems with as much accuracy as possible. One means of doing so is to pay particular attention to the business of how the Army's doctrine has developed historically, with a view to improving methods of future development.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines changing policy trends as America's role as the single world Super-Power evolves. It suggests new criteria for leaders to consider as they evaluate using the military instrument of power in the post- Cold War era. The Weinberger Doctrine helped America's political and military leaders decide when and how to employ military force since 1984, but its Cold War principles are not directly transferable to America's post-Cold War challenges. New centers of decision making; weaker nation-states; and mostly democratic, market-oriented societies in the wake of the perceived Soviet- Communist failure distinguish the post-Cold War landscape. America's modern military must be able to deter violence, fight traditional wars, cope with proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and deal with lesser but demanding humanitarian contingencies. This paper presents six new criteria for military intervention modeled after Weinberger's classic design. They are derived from a combination of: (a) national values, interests, and policy from the National Security Strategy; (b) international law; and (c) a review of models for military intervention from three different perspectives: legal, humanitarian, and political-military.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army considered counterinsurgency (COIN) a mistake to be avoided. Many found it surprising, then, when setbacks in recent conflicts led the same army to adopt a COIN doctrine. Scholarly debates have primarily employed existing theories of military bureaucracy or culture to explain the army’s re-embrace of COIN, but Peter Campbell advances a unique argument centering on military realism to explain the complex evolution of army doctrinal thinking from 1960 to 2008. In five case studies of U.S. Army doctrine, Campbell pits military realism against bureaucratic and cultural perspectives in three key areas—nuclear versus conventional warfare, preferences for offense versus defense, and COIN missions—and finds that the army has been more doctrinally flexible than those perspectives would predict. He demonstrates that decision makers, while vowing in the wake of Vietnam to avoid (COIN) missions, nonetheless found themselves adapting to the geopolitical realities of fighting “low intensity” conflicts. In essence, he demonstrates that pragmatism has won out over dogmatism. At a time when American policymakers remain similarly conflicted about future defense strategies, Campbell’s work will undoubtedly shape and guide the debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the Army's role in the Third World from a doctrinal perspective. Specifically, the report looks at the development of Army doctrine relevant to MOSW (military operations short of war) and NCO (non-combat operations) and how doctrinal treatment of nonconventional operations affects the Army's capabilities in low-intensity conflict (LIC) environments in developing countries. It considers the relative status of nonconventional operations to Army operations as a whole; the projected post-Cold War increase in Army combat and noncombat missions in nonconventional environments; and the broader issue of the Army's mission within the evolving post-Cold War peacetime strategy. The study also examines LIC doctrine and the overall utility of LIC as a concept, and compares the doctrine with new and renascent doctrinal concepts relevant to operations in LIC. The report concludes that progress toward a workable, integrated LIC doctrine has been slow, but it is occurring. Doctrinal manuals currently in draft should be published without fundamental changes, enabling the Army to move toward a better doctrine for guiding its efforts in this area. It also concludes that the Army cannot continue to maintain its focus on conventional conflict as the primary ingredient of success to the exclusion of nonconventional capabilities. For the U.S. military to play a successful supporting role in peacetime or in conflict, whether through training of international military students, civil affairs, or various forms of civic action, U.S. troops themselves must be adequately versed in the precepts of internal defense and development, LIC and sensitive political environments, civil-military relations, and respect for human rights. More attention must therefore be paid to the training and preparation of U.S. troops sent to LIC environments as advisors, instructors, or less probably, combatants. (1 table, 3 figures, 47 refs.).

Book excerpt: As with the post-Cold War downsizing during the Clinton administration in the late 1990s, one critical challenge for the U.S. Army centers on the qualitative, institutional character of the Army after the reductions-will it manifest the essential characteristics and behavior of a military profession with soldiers and civilians who see themselves sacrificially called to vocation and its service to country within a motivating professional culture that sustains a meritocratic ethic, or will the Army's character be more like any other government occupation in which its members view themselves as filing a job, motivated mostly by the extrinsic factors of pay, location, and work hours? In mid-2010, the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff directed the Commanding General, Training and Doctrine Command, then General Martin Dempsey, to undertake a broad campaign of learning, involving the entire Department. The intent was to think through just it means for the Army to be a profession...
