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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a scientific interpretation of the field of military knowledge situated between strategy and tactics, better known as operational art', and traces the evolution of operational awareness and its culmination in a full-fledged theory. The author, a Brigadier General (ret.) in the Israeli Defence Forces and Doctor of History, King's College, London, clarifies the substance of operational art' and constructs a cognitive framework for its critical analysis. He chronicles the stages in the evolution of operational theory from the emergence of 19th-century military thought to Blitzkrieg. For the first time the Soviet theories of Deep Operations' and Strike Manoeuvre' that emerged in the 1920s and 1930 are discussed. The author argues that it is these doctrines that eventually led to the crystallization of the American Airland Battle theory, successfully implemented in the Gulf War.

Download or read book Military Operational Planning and Strategic Moves written by Lucía Martínez Ordóñez and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book employs game theory to warfare and in particular to military operations. It aims at scrutinizing the validity of the two ideas that have governed the literature on war and warfighting: One is the Clausewitzian Fog of War, which suggests that he who is able to "see" through the gunsmoke and observe his opponent’s moves before he has to commit to some strategy himself, should be able to gain an advantage over that enemy; the other is the tradition of understanding military conflict as a zero-sum game. Combined, these ideas seem to imply that war always gives rise to a second-mover advantage. This book questions the validity of this presumption at the operational level of military planning. It provides a simple but rigorous game-theoretic framework in order to analyse operational alternatives for a whole range of typical conflicts Western military forces are facing, including the most recent ones such as Anti-Access/Area-Denial and supporting host nations' counterinsurgency campaigns.

Download or read book Army Doctrine Reference Publication Adrp 3 0 Operational October 2017 written by United States Government Us Army and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-09 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This doctrine manual, Army Doctrine Reference Publication ADRP 3-0 Operational October 2017, supports land operations doctrine established in ADP 3-0, Operations, and is supported by FM 3-0, Operations. This publication expands the overarching guidance on unified land operations. It accounts for the uncertainty of operations and recognizes that a military operation is a human undertaking. It constitutes the Army's view of how to conduct prompt and sustained operations on land and sets the foundation for developing other principles, tactics, techniques, and procedures detailed in subordinate doctrine publications. The principal audience for ADRP 3-0 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will use this publication as well. ADRP 3-0 contains numerous changes to the November 2016 version, the most significant of which are updates necessary to align with FM 3-0, Operations. ADRP 3-0 modifies the definition of unified land operations to account for the consolidation of gains. ADRP 3-0 adds the concept of a consolidation area to the operational framework. Additional changes include a discussion of peer threats, positions of relative advantage, multi-domain considerations, and the consolidation of gains as an Army strategic role. These all expand upon unified land operations. ADRP 3-0 employs information, such as principles and tenets, as a means of highlighting key aspects of doctrine. Where lists are employed, a narrative discussion follows to provide details on the subject. They serve as guidelines or tools for readers to more easily remember important doctrinal terms. However, there remains a need to study doctrine in detail and consider how terms are applied to operations. ADRP 3-0 modifies key topics and updates terminology and concepts as necessary. These topics include the discussion of an operational environment and the operational and mission variables, as well as discussions of unified action, law of land warfare, and combat power. Mission command remains both a philosophy of command and a warfighting function. ADRP 3-0 contains five chapters: Chapter 1 discusses military operations. It describes the variables that shape the nature of an operational environment and affect outcomes. The chapter then discusses unified action and joint operations as well as land operations. Finally, this chapter discusses the importance of training to gain skill in land warfare. Chapter 2 discusses the application of operational art. It discusses how commanders should consider defeat and stability mechanisms when developing an operational approach. It then discusses the elements of operational art and their meanings to Army forces. Chapter 3 discusses the Army's operational concept of unified land operations. It discusses how commanders apply landpower as part of unified action to defeat the enemy on land and establish conditions that achieve the joint force commander's end state. Chapter 3 discusses the principles of unified land operations and the tenets of unified land operations. Chapter 4 discusses the operations structure commanders use to array forces and conduct operations. It includes a discussion on the addition of a consolidation area to the operational framework. It concludes with a discussion on the operational framework used in the conduct of unified land operations. Chapter 5 discusses combat power. It opens with a discussion of the elements of combat power. It then discusses the six warfighting functions used to generate combat power and access joint and multinational capabilities. Lastly, it discusses how Army forces organize combat power through force tailoring, task organization, and mutual support.

Download or read book Spec Ops written by William H. McRaven and published by Presidio Press. This book was released on 2009-02-04 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vice Adm. William H. McRaven helped to devise the strategy for how to bring down Osama bin Laden, and commanded the courageous U.S. military unit that carried it out on May 1, 2011, ending one of the greatest manhunts in history. In Spec Ops, a well-organized and deeply researched study, McRaven analyzes eight classic special operations. Six are from WWII: the German commando raid on the Belgian fort Eben Emael (1940); the Italian torpedo attack on the Alexandria harbor (1941); the British commando raid on Nazaire, France (1942); the German glider rescue of Benito Mussolini (1943); the British midget-submarine attack on the Tirpitz (1943); and the U.S. Ranger rescue mission at the Cabanatuan POW camp in the Philippines (1945). The two post-WWII examples are the U.S. Army raid on the Son Tay POW camp in North Vietnam (1970) and the Israeli rescue of the skyjacked hostages in Entebbe, Uganda (1976). McRaven—who commands a U.S. Navy SEAL team—pinpoints six essential principles of “spec ops” success: simplicity, security, repetition, surprise, speed and purpose. For each of the case studies, he provides political and military context, a meticulous reconstruction of the mission itself and an analysis of the operation in relation to his six principles. McRaven deems the Son Tay raid “the best modern example of a successful spec op [which] should be considered textbook material for future missions.” His own book is an instructive textbook that will be closely studied by students of the military arts.
