Download or read book Mobility as Capability written by Nikhila Menon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights accounts of women workers to capture the domains of gendered mobility, which challenges the exalted status conferred on women in the Kerala model of development. It contests and deconstructs the development discourse which considers women's work mobility as an indicator of autonomy and agency using Capability Approach. The concept of 'transformational mobility' and its measurement introduced in the book advances the understanding of mobility, autonomy and agency and the intersectionality in the context of gender and work. Through an in-depth exploration of lived experiences of informal women workers the author illustrates how patriarchal structures are shaped and reinforced by work places, markets and the state. The central question is - can we steer development policies to facilitate collective capabilities for women where informal work arrangements are becoming the norm?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report documents an experiment with an analytic method new to me and hopefully applicable to future efforts in support of the Air Force. The report compares perceptions of mobility capability shortfalls from operational leaders with those expressed by Air Mobility Command (AMC). Specifically, the exercise employed the RAND-developed Delphi method to capture subjective assessments from experts and merge their individual opinions toward a consensus opinion."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: "The expectation is clear. Anytime and anywhere United States interests are threatened, or an application of national power is desired, the United States military can get there in force to achieve strategic effects, and fast...or so the thinking goes. But rapid and persistent strategic mobility is not an American birthright, even if reliance on it over the last 35 years has increasingly assumed as much. Exemplified by deployment to the Persian Gulf War and catalyzed following the Cold War, the capabilities of airlift, sealift, and pre-positioning proved vital elements of U.S. national power projection across the competition continuum. Still, focusing on capabilities alone cannot tell the whole story. Instead, re-orienting the understanding of strategic mobility systemically on creating or exploiting access provides the ways for strategic mobility to generate vital strategic effects. Unfortunately, decision-makers lack a framework for properly thinking in this way. Throughout history, transportation technologies that increased the capacity, range, and speed of transportation have affected strategic mobility, but not through capability alone. Instead, an interdependent system of strategic mobility exists to create or exploit opportunities for access to enable strategic effects. As a "decisive decade" unfolds, and technological capability and the geopolitical context change, assumptions about access must be re-examined and centered adequately in grand and military strategy formulation and planning with a proper understanding of the strategic mobility system. Future technologies will disrupt current assumptions, such as reusable rockets that deliver terrestrial cargo anywhere on Earth in minutes and autonomous vehicles that negate risk to human life. Therefore, now more than ever, strategic mobility capabilities must be considered in light of the systemic interactions among capability, administration, and strategy. Access theory is a vital first step to developing a new and necessary theoretical framework to build such understanding."--Abstract.

Download or read book Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the United States Army is to fight and win our nation's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders. Accomplishing this mission rests on the ability of the Army to equip and move its forces to the battle and sustain them while they are engaged. Logistics provides the backbone for Army combat operations. Without fuel, ammunition, rations, and other supplies, the Army would grind to a halt. The U.S. military must be prepared to fight anywhere on the globe and, in an era of coalition warfare, to logistically support its allies. While aircraft can move large amounts of supplies, the vast majority must be carried on ocean going vessels and unloaded at ports that may be at a great distance from the battlefield. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, the costs of convoying vast quantities of supplies is tallied not only in economic terms but also in terms of lives lost in the movement of the materiel. As the ability of potential enemies to interdict movement to the battlefield and interdict movements in the battlespace increases, the challenge of logistics grows even larger. No matter how the nature of battle develops, logistics will remain a key factor. Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations explores Army logistics in a global, complex environment that includes the increasing use of antiaccess and area-denial tactics and technologies by potential adversaries. This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future.

Download or read book The U S Strategic Mobility Posture written by James F. Willie and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been numerous studies of strategic mobility from the 1981 Congressionally Mandated Mobility Study (CMMS) to those of the subjects of sealift, airlift with the case for the C-17, the precipitous decline of the merchant marine, and the capability of the Ready Reserve Force (RRF). More recent studies have addressed future requirements for strategic mobility in the wake of changes in the former Soviet Union and Europe, a reduced forward presence, and successes in the Gulf War. The consensus on strategic mobility is that it continues to be a cornerstone to success. This study addresses strategic mobility operations; however, it does not dwell on past issues that are crucial to strategic mobility but have become axiomatic to the overall mobility debate. It assesses strategic mobility capability in light of events that affect mobility planning of the future. The first is the 1992 Mobility Requirements Study -future mobility requirements are not demand driven, but based on scenarios and acceptable risks. The next is national security strategy and its focus on regional contingencies and CONUS-based forces. Finally, it addresses the 1993 budget which earmarks $3 billion for sealift to build, buy, or modify cargo vessels.
