Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - DOD is still struggling to define itself in the post-cold-war age more than a decade after the new period began. With a strategy and force structure review occurring on average every two years, the military has still not been able to generate a consistent basis on which to justify its force structure or its strategy. Colonel Beene uses a decision analysis framework as a foundation for creating such a basis. Instead of depending on leadership for guidance, which changes with destabilizing regularity, he relies on the theories of coercion that began in the cold war era. Colonel Beene contends that these theories have particular value today, especially in light of the many innovations the nation has undertaken in the past decade. Modified and translated for modern conventional warfare, these theories form the basis for a framework of enduring requirements for any military force that undertakes a coercive strategy. Colonel Beene develops this framework to the operational level of analysis, and it is applied to two developmental air platforms, the Global Hawk Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and the Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle. He describes how this analysis tool compares to other tools of strategy and force structure assessment. Colonel Beene recommends the framework's continued use and development.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The US Department of Defense is still struggling to define itself in the post Cold War age, over a decade after the new period has begun. With a strategy and force structure review occurring on average every two years, the military has still not been able to generate a consistent basis on which to justify its force structure or its strategy. This paper uses a decision analysis framework as a foundation for creating such a basis. Instead of depending on leadership for guidance, which changes with destabilizing regularity, this paper relies on the theories of coercion that began in the Cold War era. These theories have particular value today, especially in light of the many innovations the nation has undertaken in the past decade. Modified and translated for modern conventional warfare, these theories form the basis for a framework of enduring requirements for any military force that undertakes a coercive strategy. This paper develops this framework to the operational level of analysis, and it is applied to two developmental air platforms, the Global Hawk Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and the Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle. The unique contributions of these two platforms become apparent using this framework, and the value of the framework is depicted as it points to areas for future improvement in these systems. Finally, the paper makes a comparison between this framework and traditional analyses and strategy review processes, and it shows the unique and enduring value of this analytical framework for assessing the contributions of air power platforms.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The demise of the Soviet Union shifted paradigms around the world, causing many to conceive of a new era of cooperation between the new Russian Federation and the United States. Following the terrorist attacks in the U.S. on 11 September 2001, many assumed the resultant war on terrorism would finally unite the two nations against a common enemy, aligning interests as never before. In some ways cooperation was enhanced, but interests were hardly aligned. The siege of the Beslan middle school in September 2004, a 'Russian September 11th,' brought renewed hopes for alignment between the two nations against an enemy that knew no bounds. Again, that appears not to be the case. This volume attempts to answer why that is so, and how might policy interpretation and implementation help realize such hopes. This work begins with a review of the broader foreign policies of the United States and Russia and a specific review of each nation's perspectives on the war on terror and on cooperation. It reviews some of the issues Russia has faced during its transition from Soviet rule to more liberal institutions, and it reviews the cooperative efforts between the two nations to date, both bilateral and multilateral. It ends with recommendations for policy implementation based on the fundamental differences in perceptions between the two nations, given the assessed policies of the United States. It is believed that by executing foreign policy with a consideration for the unique perspectives of each nation, more effective cooperation in the war on terror and elsewhere can be achieved.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) concept represents a tremendous leap for both the active and reserve components. It is an attempt to manage the Air Force under the engagement strategy the nation executes, while maintaining a force structure created to fight and win two nearly simultaneous major theater wars. The Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve Command have been integrally included in the Aerospace Expeditionary Force (AEF) construct, and that inclusion will be to the benefit of both components. It will also present challenges. This paper discusses the strategic background that led the USAF to create the AEF construct, noting the multiple demands on the force and the stresses that result. It describes the AEF structure, both in terms of the active component and the Guard and Reserve contributions. It discusses further changes planned for the near future with respect to ARC fighter integration into the Total Force, and it makes recommendations on those changes. By the end of this paper the reader should have a better understanding of the why and how behind the EAF and a clearer picture of the future of the Total Force and the strategy that it executes.
