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.

Book excerpt: This document describes a set of interrelated surveys administered to 224 Army National Guard and 217 Army Reserve company-sized units. The purpose of the 1979 Reserve Force Studies Surveys was to collect data that would allow analyses of Reserve Force unit manning problems and the assessment of strategies for improving reserve strength. Questionnaires were administered to all unit personnel--both junior and senior enlisted members and unit commanders. The first three sections of this note describe the overall survey design, as well as the procedures used to design and administer the surveys, the model developed for monitoring the data collection and the strategies implemented to increase survey response rates. Section four provides an assessment of the success of the fieldwork procedures. The final section summarizes problems encountered in conducting the survey and includes recommendations for future survey efforts with Reserve Force personnel as well as other military populations. Appendices include copies of a task outline of all steps required to conduct the surveys and letters and notices sent to sample members to encourage survey participation.

Download or read book 1979 Reserve Force Studies Surveys written by Zahava D. Doering and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1979 Reserve Force Studies Surveys were designed to provide the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Reserve Affairs) (ODASD-RA) and the Army Reserve Components with data that can support policy formulation and research on reserve force manning problems. Since the end of the draft, concern about the reserve forces has focused on the continuing declines in Selected Reserve personnel strength, particularly in the Army National Guard and Army Reserve where manpower shortfalls are most severe. The increased concern about reserve supply has led to the implementation of a range of different Selected Reserve programs in the past two years and additional programs are under discussion. However, analyses which identify the approach or mix of approaches which may be appropriate for addressing reserve force manning problems are limited. Data collected in the 1979 Reserve Force Studies Surveys will make possible analyses which focus on reserve force unit manning problems and the assessment of strategies for strength improvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1980s, a prominent and consistent conclusion drawn from research on China's defense-industrial complex has been that China's defense-production capabilities are rife with weaknesses and limitations. This study argues for an alternative approach: From the vantage point of 2005, it is time to shift the focus of current research to the gradual improvements in and the future potential of China's defense-industrial complex. The study found that China's defense sectors are designing and producing a wide range of increasingly advanced weapons that, in the short term, are relevant to a possible conflict over Taiwan but also to China's long-term military presence in Asia. Part of a larger RAND Project AIR FORCE study on Chinese military modernization, this study examines the current and future capabilities of China's defense industry. The goals of this study are to 1.

Download or read book Modernizing China s Military written by Keith Crane and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2005 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To help the U.S. Air Force assess the resources the government of the People's Republic of China is likely to spend on its military over the next two decades, this study projects future growth in Chinese government expenditures as a whole and the military in particular, evaluates the current and likely future capabilities of China's defense industries, and compares likely future Chinese expenditures on defense with recent expenditures by the United States and the U.S. Air Force. Although economic growth in China is destined to slow, output will still triple by 2025. In addition, government reforms hold the promise of improving the weak performance of China's defense industries. Although the researchers' high-end forecast of military expenditures is based on the assumption that the Chinese government would be able to spend 5.0 percent of GDP on defense, they believe that pressures within China to increase social spending on health care, pensions, education, and the environment, coupled with the costs of paying the Chinese government's liabilities, make it more likely that military spending will not rise above 2.3 percent of GDP. Using a combination of projected market and purchasing power parity exchange rates, the authors forecast that Chinese military spending is likely to rise from an estimated $69 billion in 2003 to $185 billion by 2025-approximately 61 percent of what the Department of Defense spent in 2003.
