Book excerpt: International cooperation, whether based on fixed alliances or on ad hoc coalitions, obviously is now and will be in the future a main feature of practically all military operations. It therefore seemed fitting to look more closely into this topic in the course of the papers presented at the Military History Working Group's (MHWG's) 2005 workshop. More than forty scholars and officers from sixteen countries examined different aspects of military cooperation and, in frank and spirited discussions, contributed to a better understanding of many of the problems involved in the endeavor. The conference was organized jointly by Austria and Canada, represented respectively by the National Defense Academy (Vienna) and the Royal Military College of Canada (Kingston, Ont.). Erwin A. Schmidl (Austria) and Ronald G. Haycock (Canada) acted as cochairs, with the local organization handled by Felix Schneider, Johann Bartl, and Ernst M. Felberbauer. Support from the Partnership for Peace Consortium (PfPC) was channeled through Vernon Hodges from the George C. Marshall Center at Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Special credit for their untiring support is due to Brig. Gen. John S. Brown, William W. Epley, and Robert S. Rush from the U.S. Army Center of Military History. Indeed, over the years the continued successes of MHWG conferences owe a great deal to Rush's personal organizational enthusiasm. The papers presented at the conference dealt with a variety of topics under the umbrella theme alliances and multinational cooperation. Taken together, the papers covered several different national experiences during four centuries of history. In opening remarks, Erwin A. Schmidl presented an overview of some of the issues associated with the general topic. Whereas political-military cooperation is nearly as old as humankind, formal alliances are closely linked to the system of territorial states-a system usually associated with the 1648 Peace of Westphalia- and currently are undergoing dramatic changes that also will reflect on the very concept of alliances. In any case, numerous experiences from earlier operations reveal general characteristics that are still valid today, and one of the MHWG's aims was to deal with issues currently relevant at a time when international associations and other alliance structures, such as the European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), are undergoing a period of strain and transformation. In this way the MHWG is able to contribute usefully to the overall success of the Partnership for Peace Consortium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume uses theoretical overviews and empirical case studies to explore both how soldiers cope with the new forms of cultural diversity occurring within various multinational military operations, and how their organizations manage them. Military organizations, like other complex organizations, are now operating in an ever more diverse environment, with the missions themselves being ever more varied, and mostly conducted in a multinational framework. Members of the military have to deal with a host of international actors in the theatre of operations, and do so in a foreign cultural environment, often in countries devastated by war. Such conditions demand a high level of intercultural competence. It is therefore crucial for military organizations to understand how military personnel manage this cultural diversity. This book will be of much interest to students of peace operations, military studies, international security, as well as sociology and business studies.

This book was released on 2023-06-23 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines multinational military forces in the Global South and their connections with the global diffusion phenomenon of multinational military cooperation. In the 21st century, three international military organizations with standing headquarters in the Global South have emerged in the field of military operations. These are the Southern Cross Peace Force in Latin America, the Africa Standby Force in Africa, and the Peninsula Shield Force in the structures of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Yet the scholarly literature on multinational operations has given little attention to these organizations and is mostly focused on the Western hemisphere, particularly on European military organizations. So far, military organizations led by peripheral countries in the Global South have been neglected in systematic and comparative analyses. This book seeks to address this gap and use a novel comparative framework to examine inter-organizational differences and similarities in these three important cases. It aims to provide a gateway for theoretical growth now and for future studies, in the Global South and elsewhere. The book demonstrates that, in a global field of military management dominated by standards and resources from central countries, the phenomena of organizational isomorphism and external dependence tend to interweave in the formation of multinational forces in the Global South. A common condition is analyzed through case studies: isodependence. From historical, critical, and postcolonial studies, the book explores how the epistemic autonomy to conduct such force models in the peripheries is constrained in the context of a security geoculture whereby specific attributions, knowledge, and security functions have been unevenly distributed in the modern world system. This book will be of great interest to researchers of military studies, security studies, sociology and conflict studies, and IR in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States and its allies prepare to withdraw most of their military forces from Afghanistan and following the end of the war in Iraq, fundamental questions have arisen over the future of American Landpower. Among them are the role of allies and partners in terms of contributing to the safeguarding of shared global interests, the implications of the Pacific rebalancing for American alliances worldwide, and the role of Landpower in identifying, developing, and maintaining critical alliances, partnerships, and other relationships. To examine these and other questions, as well as to formulate potential solutions to the challenges facing U.S. national security in the coming decade, the U.S. Army War College gathered a panel of experts on alliances and partnerships for the 24th Annual Strategy Conference in Carlisle, PA. Conducted on April 9-11, 2013, the conference explored American Landpower implications associated with an evolving national security strategy. Chaired by the Strategic Studies Institute's Dr. John R. Deni, the panel devoted to alliances and partnerships featured expert presentations based on the papers in this edited volume by Dr. Sean Kay, Dr. Carol Atkinson, and Dr. William Tow. Their analyses provided the U.S. Army and the U.S. Department of Defense with invaluable strategic assessments and insights. Students and scholars with interest in US national security and building community allies and coalitions with other countries to thwart terrorist threats/activities and implement landpower strategies to grow democracies and peace around the world would be interested in this book as a supplemental reading text for military science, and international diplomacy classes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since World War II, a key element of America's grand strategy has been its worldwide network of strategic allies and partners. The network has provided the United States an invaluable global presence, enhanced deterrence against adversaries and, when called upon, provided men and materiel to help fight wars. However, following the end of the Cold War, less attention has been paid to America's allies, especially their "hard power" capabilities, despite the United States and its allies going to war more frequently than before. This volume addresses that gap, providing a holistic account of allied hard power and, in turn, the ability - and, indirectly, the willingness - of those same partners to use force independently or in concert with the United States and other allies.

Download or read book Field Manual FM 3 16 the Army in Multinational Operations April 2014 written by United States Government Us Army and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, Field Manual FM 3-16 The Army in Multinational Operations April 2014, ensures consideration by Army elements of a joint force and addresses the Army's roles and functions in a multinational operation. While North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the American, British, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand (ABCA) Armies' Program have achieved some levels of standardization in certain areas, no comprehensive common doctrine exists between the armies. This manual does not fill this gap. It will help the multinational commander understand and develop solutions to create an effective fighting force. The principal audience for FM 3-16 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual. Whenever commonality of interest exists, nations enter into political, economic, and/or military partnerships. These partnerships occur in regional and worldwide patterns as nations seek opportunities to promote their mutual national interests, ensure mutual security against real or perceived threats, gain international or bi-national influence, conduct foreign humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations, and engage in peace or war operations. Cultural, diplomatic, information, military, economic, religious, psychological, technological, and political factors all influence the formation and conduct of multinational operations. America's interests are global, but its focus is regional. Existing alliances and past coalitions reflect that focus. Alliance participants establish formal, standard agreements for operational objectives. As forces of these nations plan and train together, they develop mutual trust and respect. Alliance nations strive to field compatible military systems, structure common procedures, and develop contingency plans to meet potential threats. Multinational operations are conducted by forces of two or more nations, usually undertaken in the structure of a coalition or alliance. Other possible arrangements include supervision by an intergovernmental organization such as the UN or the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Commonly used terms under the multinational rubric include allied, bilateral, coalition, multinational, combined/coalition or multilateral. However, within this manual the preferred term multinational will be the term used to describe these actions and has replaced the older terms of combined in almost all usages except NATO. This publication has undergone significant changes and improvements over the past two decades. It meets the growing and evolving multinational missions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thucydides included the Melian Dialogue as part of his epic, The Peloponnesian War. Historians doubt the speeches between the Athenian generals and the Council of the Melians ever took place as written, but its substance has become a classic excerpt in the "Realist" versus "Idealist" debate over international relations. Its timeless treatment of national interests, balance of power, alliances, and the nature of leadership make it as relevant today as when it was written in 416 BC. It has been 10 years since the end of the Cold War, and the United States is still seeking to define a suitable, feasible, and acceptable national strategy to fit the geostrategic environment of the early 21st century. For over 40 years, NSC-68 established the requirements for an all-encompassing national strategy - political, economic, military, and informational - designed to contain communist expansion. Alliances and coalitions played a major role in successfully executing containment, but now that the Cold War is over, what are the roles the United States wants them to play? It is current national policy that when it is advantageous, the U.S. must always be prepared to act alone. However, it is also stated policy that the U.S. can only achieve many of its security objectives through alliances and other formal military structures. Today, the efficacy of multinational alliances in executing Operations Other Than War is dubious at best, and the U.S. military finds itself drawn into increasingly smaller scale contingency operations where vital national interests are not at stake. The resulting Operations and Personnel tempo are taking a toll on the force. Assuming that it is prudent for the U.S. to remain engaged in regions of political, economic, and military importance, this paper addresses the following question: what is the contribution of multinational alliances and coalitions in securing important United States national security objectives in the next fifteen year period?

Download or read book Effective Multinational C2 Five Essential Variables written by MAJ Jon E., Jon Baker, US Army and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-09-09 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States armed forces have historically fought alongside allied forces, and are currently engaged in several multinational operations around the world. Most, if not all, future U.S. military peacekeeping, combat, or stability operations will continue to consist of multinational structures commonly known as coalitions or alliances. The inherent complexity of creating an effective multinational Command and Control (C2) structure, comprised of different countries and operating under unfamiliar C2 structures, creates tension in achieving unity of effort, unity of command and unity of action towards subsequent mission accomplishment. Historically this tension has revolved around the issue of multinational C2. Differences in national interests, culture, and incompatibilities in operating procedures, technologies, training and operational capabilities add to the tension posed by multinational operations. Fortunately, U.S. Joint, U.S. service, and NATO doctrine, as well as history, provide useful guidelines to ameliorate the tension posed by multinational differences and incompatibilities towards effective multinational C2. A synthesis of the doctrinal foundations of C2 and four historic multinational operations, namely World War I, World War II, the Persian Gulf War, and ISAF, led to the identification of five essential variables that must be addressed and implemented in order to establish effective multinational C2. These variables are the need for establishing unity of purpose through international legitimacy; the need for an integrated multinational command structure in achieving unity of command; the need for an educated human equation; the need for multinational training; and the need for interoperable Communications and Information Systems (CIS) in exercising effective multinational C2. If these five variables are not adequately addressed, then effective multinational C2 will be difficult to achieve. The five essential variables are summarized as follows: (1) There is a need for establishing unity of purpose through international legitimacy. This is achieved through gaining the support of an internationally recognized civil authority in order to avoid unilateral action. Unity of purpose further facilitates the generation of unified goals amongst the participants; (2) Unity of command must be established by appointing a single multinational commander with overall responsibility for the mission. This is further enhanced through an integrated multinational staff and headquarters C2 structure. Through inclusion, the multinational commander is able to garner a better understanding of participating nations' interests, capabilities, and nuances; (3) There must be an educated human equation present to develop respect, rapport, and cultural understanding at all levels within the multinational force. Human equations encompass those characteristics that multinational commanders and staffs must display to build a cohesive multinational force; (4) Multinational training contributes to building an understanding of potential alliance or coalition partners' capabilities, strengths, and challenges. Multinational training exercises should be conducted during peacetime, but should continue after deployment, especially when working with nations that do not habitually participate in multinational training venues; (5) There must be an interoperable Communications and Information Systems (CIS) architecture established within the multinational operation. An interoperable CIS facilitates C2 through the establishment of compatible procedures and equipment which leads to effective information flow within the multinational force.

Download or read book Multinational Military Intervention written by Stephen J. Cimbala and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War, as Clausewitz reminds, is the most uncertain of human political and social activities. It also imposes burdens. In an alliance among states for the promotion of collective defense or security, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), burdens have to be shared. This study looks at the experience of the United States and other member states of NATO in four situations of multinational military intervention - Lebanon, the Persian Gulf, the Balkans, and South Asia - and considers the implications of nuclear arms reductions and nonproliferation for the US and NATO. Each case study represents an important period in the distribution of power, interest, and values, amounting to more than a sequential consideration of incidents of military intervention and/or conflict prevention. These politico-military challenges include a major coalition war, a traditional peacekeeping operation, an exercise in peace enforcement, and a conflict that combines counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism with stability and security operations.
