Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Caucasus is developing into a vital strategic region. It emerged from the Soviet Union's shadow in 1991 and spawned wild oil and gas speculation, and U.S. policy makers developed relationships with the region's countries as it matured. However, ethnic tensions and separatist movements in the Caucasus still pose a significant threat to American interests. Will the U.S. military intervene to stabilize the Caucasus by 2010 This monograph explores this question. It introduces the reader to the Caucasus' complexity and presents factors affecting a military intervention decision. It presents three likely contingencies that may require U.S. force intervention before 2010: peacekeeping in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, stabilization of the Georgian or Azerbaijani governments, or prevention of ethnic cleansing. It also provides a summary of each contingency compared to the 1999 National Security Strategy's criteria for deploying U.S. forces to assess the probability of intervention. The monograph is a passport to the Caucasus, removing the mystery from it to assess its operational challenges. The key to success in future military operations there is understanding the Caucasus' diversity and it's emerging international significance.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Joint urban operations have grown in importance since the early 1990's, with doctrine on the verge of production. This paper captures the joint urban warfare phenomenon of the past decade, its emergence in the field of military art, and the directions that it will likely take. Developing alongside joint urban warfare doctrine is the transformation of the U.S. Army. The transformation will provide the Joint Force Commander new roles and missions for Army forces in the joint team. The study recommends strategic descent as one such role. The descent describes a single powerful blow-a coup de main-delivered at the outset of a campaign or operation. The descent can provide an early decision in the conflict or seize the initiative for the joint force before it completely arrives into theater. The objective forces of the Army will be capable of non-littoral descents in particular, given their new strategically responsive capabilities. For urban operations, the joint commander can avoid the long buildup of forces by deploying the objective Army forces rapidly to establish U.S. presence in theater. The unique capabilities being developed for the objective force will enrich the joint commander's menu of military options for future joint urban operations.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
