This book was released on 2003 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To produce a strategically responsive force, the Army has embarked on a transformation effort to make power projection capabilities a reality. To be strategically responsive, the Army must be able to rapidly move or project forces that have sufficient power to execute a broad spectrum of missions. The Army has laid out a set of three CSS transformation goals to support this overall transformation effort. The first goal is to reduce footprint in the combat zone to improve strategic mobility and to improve operational mobility. The second goal, focused on strategic mobility, is to reduce deployment timelines. The targets are 96 hours for a brigade combat team (BCT), 120 hours for a division, and 30 days for five divisions (and the requisite support). We term these two goals "power projection goals." Beyond these two goals, there is a third: reducing the cost of logistics while maintaining warfighting capability. Rather than an end in itself, this is a means to fund new Army capabilities. We term this a "business process transformation goal," which might be viewed as a second, simultaneous transformation that is focused internally on how the Army does its business. In this document we only examine the first two goals - the power projection goals - describing the strategies emerging to reach these goals and presenting metrics for assessing progress toward achieving them. The intent of this research was to distill, from the Army's Interim and Objective Force design efforts and other sources, strategies for achieving the Army's power projection oriented CSS transformation goals. With respect to the proposed complementary metrics-based framework for evaluating further force design efforts, we illustrate the use of these metrics through an examination of the Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT).

Book excerpt: Using a case study based on the Army's new Stryker Brigade Combat Team, the authors explore how the Army might improve its ability to contribute to prompt, global power projection, that is, strategically responsive early-entry forces for time-critical events. The authors examine options to reach a dual goal: to initiate deployment of the right force capabilities, and then get those capabilities where they need to be as quickly as possible.

Download or read book Introduction to Geopolitics written by Colin Flint and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear and concise introductory textbook guides students through their first engagement with geopolitics. It offers a clear framework for understanding contemporary conflicts by showing how geography provides opportunities and limits upon the actions of countries, national groups, and terrorist organizations, and the overarching theme of geopolitical structures and agents requires no previous knowledge of theory or current affairs. Throughout the book, case studies, including the rise of al Qaeda, the Korean conflict, Israel-Palestine, Chechnya and Kashmir, emphasize the multi-faceted nature of conflict. These, along with guided exercises, help explain contemporary global power struggles, the global military actions of the United States, the persistence of nationalist conflicts, the changing role of borders, and the new geopolitics of terrorism. Throughout, the readers are introduced to different theoretical perspectives, including feminist contributions, as both the practice and representation of geopolitics are discussed. Introduction to Geopolitics is extensively illustrated with diagrams, maps, and photographs. Reading this book will provide a deeper and critical understanding of current affairs and facilitate access to higher level course work and essays on geopolitics. Both students and general readers alike will find this book an essential stepping-stone to understanding contemporary conflicts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, Space Capstone Publication Spacepower: Doctrine for Space Forces, is capstone doctrine for the United States Space Force and represents our Service's first articulation of an independent theory of spacepower. This publication answers why spacepower is vital for our Nation, how military spacepower is employed, who military space forces are, and what military space forces value. In short, this capstone document is the foundation of our professional body of knowledge as we forge an independent military Service committed to space operations. Like all doctrine, the SCP remains subject to the policies and strategies that govern its employment. Military spacepower has deterrent and coercive capacities - it provides independent options for National and Joint leadership but achieves its greatest potential when integrated with other forms of military power. As we grow spacepower theory and doctrine, we must do so in a way that fosters greater integration with the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. It is only by achieving true integration and interdependence that we can hope to unlock spacepower's full potential.

This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 2015, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) initiated reforms that have brought dramatic changes to its structure, model of warfighting, and organizational culture, including the creation of a Strategic Support Force (SSF) that centralizes most PLA space, cyber, electronic, and psychological warfare capabilities. The reforms come at an inflection point as the PLA seeks to pivot from land-based territorial defense to extended power projection to protect Chinese interests in the "strategic frontiers" of space, cyberspace, and the far seas. Understanding the new strategic roles of the SSF is essential to understanding how the PLA plans to fight and win informationized wars and how it will conduct information operations.
