Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After looking at the components of the U.S. Naval Reserve, the authors attempted to make comparisons of active/reserve force mixes among the U.S. and other countries with large navies. These comparisons are very difficult since they are hampered by a paucity of information. Second, even when information is relatively complete as it is in the Britain and the United States, dissimiliar organizational structures run the risk of an apples to oranges comparisons. This study suggests that the U.S. Navy has a richer mix of active to reserves than do other countries with large navies. However, this finding may be caused by definitional problems: other countries classify broader categories of individuals as reservists than does the United States. In fact, their our closer look at the British Navy suggested that the active/reserve force mix was roughly comparable to that of the United States. They conclude that considerable caution be exercised in any active/reserve force mix comparisons across countries.

This book was released on 2011-07-18 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the Commission has reached four broad conclusions, all of which support the need for change and early action. Firstly our Reserve Forces are in decline - by our national historic standards and by comparison with other nations U.K. Reserves form too small a part of our overall national military capability. Secondly, the Proposition offered to reservists has declined, ceasing to attract a sustainable Reserve; and the demands of individual augmentation for operations have accelerated the institutional decline of Reserve Forces. Thirdly, the purpose for which we hold Reserves and the roles to which we attribute them have not been updated to match the demands of the new security environment. Fourthly, the potential of the Reserves is not being fully exploited; and the Reserves are not being used in the most cost-effective manner. In this context the Commission puts forward its recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Kennedy's classic naval history, now updated with a new introduction by the author This acclaimed book traces Britain's rise and fall as a sea power from the Tudors to the present day. Challenging the traditional view that the British are natural 'sons of the waves', he suggests instead that the country's fortunes as a significant maritime force have always been bound up with its economic growth. In doing so, he contributes significantly to the centuries-long debate between 'continental' and 'maritime' schools of strategy over Britain's policy in times of war. Setting British naval history within a framework of national, international, economic, political and strategic considerations, he offers a fresh approach to one of the central questions in British history. A new introduction extends his analysis into the twenty-first century and reflects on current American and Chinese ambitions for naval mastery.

Download or read book Britain s Future Navy written by Nick Childs and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kind of Royal Navy does Britain need now? The 21st century promises to be one of huge uncertainties and challenges for the senior service. Does Britain have the right naval strategy to cope with emerging threats (does it have a naval strategy at all, and should it?) and, if so, does the Navy have the right ships and enough of them to implement it? Given the time taken to introduce changes and develop new systems, policy makers, naval chiefs, and designers are confronted with 50-year decisions. But future choices are likely to be clouded by economic uncertainties produced by the current crisis, which could have implications for decades. Nick Childs looks at the changing strategic environment (including ever greater maritime trade and the growth of other navies such as China, India, South Korea, revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East). He asks what Britain's role in the world could or should be—is she still interventionist? (Libya says 'yes'). If so, should our forces be designed purely to work with US, UN or Western European forces? What are the options for a naval strategy? The author then considers what kind of navy would be needed to support such options. What kind of ships are needed and how many? What of aircraft carriers and the nuclear option? What are the technological developments affecting current and future warship design projects? Is the new Type 45 destroyer what is needed and worth the cost? Given the depths to which the RN has shrunk in terms of numbers, public profile, and strength relative to its peers, this probably is a critical period in terms of determining the RNs future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self.
