Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper proposes an operational air campaign for a Second Korean War. The author argues that North Korea has three concentric centers of gravity- -one each at the strategic, operational, and tactical level. The strategic center is the national and military leadership; the operational center is the North Korean Integrated Air Defense System; the tactical center of gravity is the North Korean army in the field and the logistics system which supports it. The author proposes an air campaign to simultaneously attack and defeat each of them in support of the overall theater campaign, in order to conclude a future conflict on favorable terms.

Download or read book A Framework for Understanding the US Air Bombing Campaign in Korea 1950 51 written by Yonsoo P. Kang and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the Second World War, America possessed a superior air force and integrated technology as part of its military strategy. US air power and the bombing of cities were developed, perfected, and utilized to bring Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan to their knees. This success led to the creation of the US Air Force (USAF) as an independent branch from the Army, which suggested that military and political leaders acknowledged not only the advantages of air power but also the "American way of war": a military strategy emphasizing on finesse, sophistication, and efficiency in the post-war world. However, during the Korean War, the US unexpectedly struggled to handle the complex challenges in regional conflicts. This thesis will examine these complexities by understanding how and why there was a discrepancy between popular belief in the superior capability of air power and the USAF's actual performance against the Chinese. Although a great number of scholars have written about and shed enormous insight on the war, there are still unanswered questions. Why did US policymakers consider air power such an attractive solution for its military interventions in foreign countries? Did air power actually escalate rather than diffuse the hostilities between China and the US? What is the significance of air power, and more broadly, technology in relation to the larger debates on how the US decides its level of military interventions in foreign countries? Questions like these are not unique to the Korean War but are still relevant in our time. This thesis will contribute to the existing literature by presenting a framework through which to analyze how and why technological advantages were not sufficient in consolidating and defending US gains during the Korean War. More specifically, I will argue that US military technology alone failed to prevent Chinese successes because of three interrelated factors: technology, politics, and the will to make necessary sacrifices. This thesis will analyze the interrelationships of these three factors in order to understand how their dynamics conflicted or cooperated with one another. Furthermore, by examining why the US aerial bombing effort failed to prevent China's counterattack, the framework will attempt to explain how and why this particular air campaign during the Korean War is a clear example of the challenges the US faces when it involves itself in subsequent regional conflicts. Finally, the thesis will highlight the dangers of a technologically driven military strategy and dispel any illusion that waging war is easy and straightforward.

Download or read book Down in the Weeds written by William Y'Blood and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-05-27 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Korean War, the primary mission of Lt. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer's Far East Air Forces was air defense of the Japanese homeland. Most of the aircraft constituting Stratemeyer's inventory were interceptors, not designed for the type of combat that would be required now that the United States was joining in the UN effort to end the war in Korea. The Joint Army/USAAF doctrine of 1946, known as Field Manual 31-35, Air Ground Operations, was also considered outdated in the present circumstance. A new approach to warfighting had to be developed in response to the strong influence of General Douglas MacArthur and other of his air officers in the Army-dominated General Headquarters Far East Command. Close air support of the ground forces as provided by Fifth Air Force came at some cost, and tempers flared in the process, but the air commanders in Korea never deprived the ground commanders of close air support if it was needed. Indeed, without the close air support provided to the airmen, the ground campaign would have been a much more bloody and difficult affair than it was.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smallholder farmers and pastoralists fulfil an invaluable yet undervalued role in conserving biodiversity. They act as guardians of locally adapted livestock breeds that can make use of even marginal environments under tough climatic conditions and therefore are a crucial resource for food security. But in addition, by sustaining animals on natural vegetation and as part of local ecosystems, these communities also make a significant contribution to the conservation of wild biodiversity and of cultural landscapes. This publication provides a glimpse into the often intricate knowledge systems that pastoralists and smallholder farmers have developed for the management of their breeds in specific production systems and it also describes the multitude of threats and challenges these often marginalized communities have to cope with.

Book excerpt: In light of the age-old belief of Confucius that no idea is new, Dr. Mets examines the role of Colonel Warden in the Gulf War to determine if a revolution in military affairs had occurred. He relies on several twentieth-century antecedents to Warden, including Giulio Douhet, Hugh Trenchard, and Billy Mitchell to distill a pattern. Mets also addresses whether "the argument that antedated the Gulf War to the effect that such conflicts between states using conventional weapons and methods are a pressing phenomenon." Chapter 6, the concluding chapter, provides an overview of Mets's discussion.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays reflects the proceedings of a 1991 conference on "The United States Air Force: Aerospace Challenges and Missions in the 1990s," sponsored by the USAF and Tufts University. The 20 contributors comment on the pivotal role of airpower in the war with Iraq and address issues and choices facing the USAF, such as the factors that are reshaping strategies and missions, the future role and structure of airpower as an element of US power projection, and the aerospace industry's views on what the Air Force of the future will set as its acquisition priorities and strategies. The authors agree that aerospace forces will be an essential and formidable tool in US security policies into the next century. The contributors include academics, high-level military leaders, government officials, journalists, and top executives from aerospace and defense contractors.
