Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a supplement to The Department of Defense: Documents on Establishment and Organization, 1944-1978. This book covers organizational changes in the Office of the Secretary of Defense between 1978 and the end of 2003. During this period there were frequent and substantial adjustments, some directed by congressional action and some by the secretary of defense. The most important legislation affecting the Department of Defense between 1978 and 2003, the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986, received its impetus primarily from Congress rather than the Department of Defense. This law joins the amendments of 1949, Reorganization Plan No.6 of 1953, and the Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1958 as one of the four major changes to the National Security Act of 1947. Because of its significance, the entire text of the Goldwater-Nichols Act is included in this publication, as well as important documents preceding its passage, including the report of the Packard Commission (1986). This collection includes documents detailing the functions of the Armed Forces and the Joint Chiefs of Staff as well as those pertaining to the roles and missions of the Armed Forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We devote this volume to an examination of the apparent shift in the use of force in defending U.S. interests and in furthering U.S. national security policy. The nation's use of unmanned aerial vehicles, in lieu of more conventional military capabilities, has been increasing significantly since the beginning of the century. Commonly referred to as drones, these surveillance and weapons systems appear to offer many advantages. They allow the United States to apply force in areas otherwise inaccessible to military units. ... drones ... are beginning to be used domestically for law enforcement purposes. This volume on drones focuses on international use of the systems. The following volume will address domestic use of drones"--
Download or read book Nuclear Weapon Initiatives written by Jonathan V. Ernest and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bush Administration completed its Congressionally-mandated Nuclear Posture Review in December 2001. The review led to major changes in US nuclear policy. It found that the Cold War relationship with Russia was 'very inappropriate' and that this nation must be able to deal with new threats. It planned to retain Cold War-era nuclear weapons, which would suffice for many contingencies, though at reduced numbers. To complement these weapons so as to improve US ability to deal with new, more dispersed threats in various countries, the Administration sought to explore additional nuclear capabilities. These initiatives are controversial. Supporters claim that the first three initiatives would enhance deterrence, thereby reducing the risk of war, and that some weapons that might result from the initiatives could enable the United States to destroy key targets in nations that may pose a threat. Critics are concerned that these initiatives would lead to nuclear testing, increase the risk of nuclear proliferation, and make US use of nuclear weapons more likely. Regarding enhanced test readiness, the Administration argues that nuclear testing might be needed, for example, to check fixes to weapon types with defects, and that 24 to 36 months is too long to wait; critics are concerned that shortening the time to test could signal a US intent to test, and that renewed testing could lead to a renewed interest in testing by other nations.

Book excerpt: Unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) are expected to play a key role in the Army's Objective Force structure. These UGVs would be used for weapons platforms, logistics carriers, and reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition among other things. To examine aspects of the Army's UGV program, assess technology readiness, and identify key issues in implementing UGV systems, among other questions, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research and Technology asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study of UGV technologies. This report discusses UGV operational requirements, current development efforts, and technology integration and roadmaps to the future. Key recommendations are presented addressing technical content, time lines, and milestones for the UGV efforts.
