Download or read book Special Operations Forces written by John M. Collins and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, John Collins speaks with the authority of one who was literally present at the birth of the low intensity conflict era. His long-term, intimate, and direct contact with the esoteric world of special operations has few parallels. Their roots go back in time and history considerably farther, but today's Special Operations Forces are largely products of the past three decades. Their development has been in response to the pressures of world-wide situations perceived to bear upon or which actually do affect American strategic interests. The use of raw military power may not provide solutions to the complex problems involved and may even be counter-productive. Special Operations forces, uniquely suited to fill the quasi-military gap, require the highest degree of professional competence in the application of the classical principles of war. This is a big order. It is difficult in a few words to pay John Collins the tribute he deserves for continuing efforts to educate both the Congress and the U.S. Armed Forces concerning the capabilities and limitations of special operations and the forces they involve. This latest addition to his carefully researched studies combines history, philosophy, factual data, and reference materials in a single document that should be on the desks of civilian and military leaders whose responsibilities relate in any way to special operations.
Download or read book Operational Logistics written by Moshe Kress and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational Logistics: The Art and Science of Sustaining Military Operations explores military logistics in terms of the theoretical foundations of operational logistics (OpLog) and its applications. The theoretical foundations are examined with regard to two dimensions. First, the artistic or qualitative aspects of contemporary logistics are looked at in the context of the operational level of war. These OpLog aspects include principles, imperatives and tenets, which are stated and analyzed. The second dimension relates to the scientific aspects of logistics. It is manifested by a formal network model that represents the structural and operational features of an OpLog system. Hence the book examines both artistic and scientific dimensions of military logistics and integrates the respective qualitative and quantitative aspects into a unified and definitive presentation of operational logistics. Chapter 1 presents a general introduction to military logistics. Chapter 2 discusses the general structure and characteristics of logistics and describes its three levels - strategic, operational and tactical. Chapter 3 focuses on Operational Logistics (OpLog). Chapter 4 deals with the logistics planning process. Chapter 5 addresses the issue of logistics information. Chapter 6 deals with forecasting logistics demands. Chapter 7 introduces the first version of the logistics network model. Chapter 8 addresses an important property of an OpLog system - Flexibility. Chapter 9 discusses two major (and dual) issues in OpLog practice: force accumulation and medical treatment and evacuation. Chapter 10 presents an inter-temporal network optimization model that is designed to determine deployment and employment of the support chain in an OpLog system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Joint Warfare Joint warfare is a military doctrine that places priority on the integration of the various branches of a state's armed forces into one unified command. Joint warfare is in essence a form of combined arms warfare on a larger, national scale, in which complementary forces from a state's army, navy, air, coastal, space, and special forces are meant to work together in joint operations, rather than planning and executing military operations separately.

Download or read book The National Military Command Structure written by Richard C. Steadman and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1977, President Carter requested that the Secretary of Defense initiate a searching organizational review of the National Military Command Structure (NMCS). He requested an unconstrained examination of alternatives for making it more effective and efficient in carrying out the national security mission. This Report presents and evaluates alternatives responsive to the President's instructions. What emerged from the discussions and studies was a consensus that, by and large, the system has been generally adequate to meet our national security needs in peacetime, crisis, and wartime. We did find, however, a general perception of some fundamental shortcomings which may make it incapable of dealing adequately with our future needs. The present National Military Command Structure was created by the National Security Act of 1947, as amended. It has evolved, through a series of amendments up to 1958, from a decentralized National Military Establishment of separate Military Departments to today's Department of Defense (DoD) headed by a Secretary of Defense with full authority and responsibility for its operation.
Download or read book Adp 3 0 Operations written by United States Government Us Army and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-18 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ADP 3-0 Operations In 2011 the Army updated its warfighting doctrine to conduct unified land operations executed through decisive action and guided by mission command. ADP 3-0, Operations, is a natural evolution of past capstone doctrine that captured the most critical lessons of almost fifteen years of sustained land combat. In this edition, we not only reflect on the past but also look to the future. This publication builds on the idea that success requires fully integrating Army operations with the efforts of unified action partners. ADP 3-0 provides a common operational concept for Army forces who must be ready to operate across the range of military operations and across multiple domains, integrating their actions with unified action partners as part of a larger effort. Today, Army forces are engaged with more than 140,000 Soldiers in over 150 countries, either conducting combat operations, deterring aggression, or reassuring our allies and partners. The United States Army is also relentlessly hunting terrorists throughout many other parts of the world. We are engaging our partners in Africa and throughout the Americas. Readiness for current and future operations requires a force that is honed through effective training and education and well versed on how our Army conducts operations. The central idea of operations is that, as part of a joint force, Army forces seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to gain and maintain a position of relative advantage in sustained land operations to prevent conflict, shape the operational environment, and win our Nation's wars as part of unified action. ADP 3-0 discusses the principles of unified land operations-mission command, develop the situation through action, combined arms, adhere to the law of war, establish and maintain security, and create multiple dilemmas for the enemy. ADP 3-0 incorporates the tenets of unified land operations-simultaneity, depth, synchronization, and flexibility. It highlights the concept that operational art is the connection between strategic objectives and tactical actions, and it supports a common construct for organizing both joint and Army operations. The construct consists of the Army operations process, an operations framework for visualizing and describing operations, and combat power. ADP 3-0 serves as the common operational concept for the Army. The central idea, adapted to the unique conditions of each conflict, represents the Army's unique contribution to unified action. It must permeate our doctrine, our training, and our leader professional development programs.

Download or read book Joint Military Operations written by Roger Beaumont and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1993-05-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short history is the first broad and selective survey of the phenomenon known as jointness--the co-operative operations of land and naval forces until the twentieth-century and of land, sea, and air forces since World War I. Touching on operational, doctrinal, and political dimensions, the survey ranges from the ancient Mediterranean to recent times while focusing on European and American experiences from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries, including Desert Storm. Illustrative cases and reference materials are attuned to the interests of scholars, defense analysts, and students of military affairs. Jointness, subject of major concern to military historians, policymakers, politicians, and military professionals has in the past been covered within certain periods on a case by case or topical basis. This history begins instead with a broad survey from ancient to modern times and then focuses more closley on joint operations since World War I with wide-ranging examples to illustrate trends and patterns of Jointness. The survey closes with a discussion of the central problem of friction and other paradoxes connected with joint military operations. A selected bibliography provides an array of sources both for general readers and military professionals. Maps and appendices further enrich this important history.
