Download or read book Toward a Consensus on Military Service written by Andrew J. Goodpaster and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward a Consensus on Military Service: Report of the Atlantic Council's Working Group on Military Service examines the experience and prospects of the U.S. peacetime military volunteer force. It presents a Policy Paper that offers a broad range of recommendations designed both to strengthen that force and to prepare the way, should circumstances require it, for a resumption of compulsory military service. The book begins by providing a geopolitical backdrop for the issues of U.S. military service examined in subsequent chapters. It analyzes basic U.S. national interests, Soviet power and policy, and East-West relations. This is followed by separate chapters on the antecedents of force-manning in the U.S.; current and evolving concepts of U.S. security requirements; the all-volunteer force; and military manpower policies. Subsequent chapters examine long-term military manpower trends and criteria for a peacetime military force; compulsory service options; and social and ethical issues that have colored the historical American debate over how the nation should raise its armed forces in peacetime.

Book excerpt: On April 18, 1906, the most destructive earthquake to ever hit the United States struck the city of San Francisco leaving over 350,000 homeless and a great portion of the city in rubble. The municipal government, unable to handle a disaster of such magnitude, turned to the only remaining organization capable of assisting, the military forces of the Regular Army. The Army responded immediately; assisted in fire fighting, patrolled the city to guard against looting, and provided food, clothing, and shelter to the many homeless. The Army's quick and decisive actions during this great disaster would serve as a precedence for military relief operations in the future. Following a detailed review of the Army's role in the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906, this research project addresses the evolution of the Federal disaster response system with emphasis on how the Department of Defense (DoD), and in particular the Army, is integrated into that system. A review of statutory authorities and how they have evolved serves as the start point. This is followed by an explanation of the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); how it came into being; and describes its relationship with DoD and other Federal Agencies. Using the new Federal Response Plan and earthquake preparedness as the vehicle, this paper provides a detailed analysis of current DoD policy and regulatory guidelines, the organization within DoD for domestic disaster response, and describes current planning efforts at both the Forces Command and Continental U.S. Army (CONUSA) levels. The paper concludes by identifying some challenges facing the Army in the future and proposes some recommendations for meeting those challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed the Army's peacetime screening process to determine whether it effectively identified reservists with civilian occupations that would be critical to private-sector operations during a war effort. GAO found that: (1) the Army did not properly screen reservists who held critical positions in the private sector; (2) many civilian employers were not aware of their opportunity to plan for the loss of mobilized employees or of the military status of their employees; (3) the Army lacked a process to obtain feedback from reservists regarding their employment; and (4) the Department of Defense (DOD) provided no specific guidance for the services to use in screening reservists for nonfederal key employment.

Download or read book Chinese Military Reform in the Age of Xi Jinping Drivers Challenges and Implications written by Joel Wuthnow and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) has embarked on its most wide-ranging and ambitious restructuring since 1949, including major changes to most of its key organizations. The restructuring reflects the desire to strengthen PLA joint operation capabilities- on land, sea, in the air, and in the space and cyber domains. The reforms could result in a more adept joint warfighting force, though the PLA will continue to face a number of key hurdles to effective joint operations, Several potential actions would indicate that the PLA is overcoming obstacles to a stronger joint operations capability. The reforms are also intended to increase Chairman Xi Jinping's control over the PLA and to reinvigorate Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organs within the military. Xi Jinping's ability to push through reforms indicates that he has more authority over the PLA than his recent predecessors. The restructuring could create new opportunities for U.S.-China military contacts.
Download or read book Special Operations Forces written by John M. Collins and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, John Collins speaks with the authority of one who was literally present at the birth of the low intensity conflict era. His long-term, intimate, and direct contact with the esoteric world of special operations has few parallels. Their roots go back in time and history considerably farther, but today's Special Operations Forces are largely products of the past three decades. Their development has been in response to the pressures of world-wide situations perceived to bear upon or which actually do affect American strategic interests. The use of raw military power may not provide solutions to the complex problems involved and may even be counter-productive. Special Operations forces, uniquely suited to fill the quasi-military gap, require the highest degree of professional competence in the application of the classical principles of war. This is a big order. It is difficult in a few words to pay John Collins the tribute he deserves for continuing efforts to educate both the Congress and the U.S. Armed Forces concerning the capabilities and limitations of special operations and the forces they involve. This latest addition to his carefully researched studies combines history, philosophy, factual data, and reference materials in a single document that should be on the desks of civilian and military leaders whose responsibilities relate in any way to special operations.

This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will China use its increasing military capabilities in the future? China faces a complicated security environment with a wide range of internal and external threats. Rapidly expanding international interests are creating demands for the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to conduct new missions ranging from protecting Chinese shipping from Somali pirates to evacuating citizens from Libya. The most recent Chinese defense white paper states that the armed forces must "make serious preparations to cope with the most complex and difficult scenarios . . . so as to ensure proper responses . . . at any time and under any circumstances." Based on a conference co-sponsored by Taiwan's Council of Advanced Policy Studies, RAND, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and National Defense University, The People's Liberation Army and Contingency Planning in China brings together leading experts from the United States and Taiwan to examine how the PLA prepares for a range of domestic, border, and maritime...
Download or read book Maintaining Military Medical Skills During Peacetime written by Christine Eibner and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2008 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph examines the feasibility of a new model for maintaining the clinical skills of the military medical force. Under the model, active-duty personnel would be assigned to civilian settings during peacetime. The study on which this monograph is based explored the feasibility of this model from a civilian perspective, focusing on civilian receptiveness to the proposed arrangement and identifying potential barriers and concerns. The study found that civilian medical organizations are generally receptive to the idea of such a model and that DoD could consider conducting a pilot study to assess the effectiveness of the model in improving military medical readiness.
Download or read book I Want You written by Bernard D. Rostker and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006-09-08 with total page 833 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As U.S. military forces appear overcommitted and some ponder a possible return to the draft, the timing is ideal for a review of how the American military transformed itself over the past five decades, from a poorly disciplined force of conscripts and draft-motivated "volunteers" to a force of professionals revered throughout the world. Starting in the early 1960s, this account runs through the current war in Iraq, with alternating chapters on the history of the all-volunteer force and the analytic background that supported decisionmaking. The author participated as an analyst and government policymaker in many of the events covered in this book. His insider status and access offer a behind-the-scenes look at decisionmaking within the Pentagon and White House. The book includes a foreword by former Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird. The accompanying DVD contains more than 1,700 primary-source documents-government memoranda, Presidential memos and letters, staff papers, and reports-linked directly from citations in the electronic version of the book. This unique technology presents a treasure trove of materials for specialists, researchers, and students of military history, public administration, and government affairs to draw upon.
