Hardback. Zustand: New. Many analysts have heralded the U.S. military's Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), a qualitative improvement in operational concepts and weapons that transforms the nature and character of warfare. Focusing on military technology, most argue that the new sensor, surveillance, communications, and computational technologies will usher in a period in which U.S. military capabilities will far exceed those of potential competitors. Developments in such fields as nanotechnology, robotics, and genetic engineering will greatly influence new weapons designs of the twenty-first century. These discussions about military revolutions, however, too often ignore or only pay lip service to the role of military organization in improving combat capability. They downplay the relationship between organizational structure and outcomes, the difficulties of coordinating large organizations composed of many people and offices having specialized roles, and the challenges of calculation, attention, and memory that face individuals making decisions with inadequate or ambiguous information under short deadlines or stressful situations. Mark D. Mandeles argues that the key to future combat effectiveness is not in acquiring new technologies but rather in the Defense Department's institutional and organizational structure and its effect upon incentives to invent, to innovate, and to conduct operations effectively. Doing so requires the military establishment to resist incentives to substitute short-term technological gains for long-term operational advantages and to maintain incentives for effective long-term innovation. …

Softbound. Zustand: Very Good. Small broadsheet newspaper, 8 pp. with a center crease, one b/w photo and four political cartoons A radical left-wing newspaper that critiqued the Jewish community without demonizing it. Anti-Fatah and probably influenced by Shomer Ha-Tzair. With an article by Albert Memmi and a poem by Julia Vinograd. Cover is illustrated with a large drawing by Madeline Rosenstein. "This paper is being edited by a group of radicals who are concerned with the tendencies of our radical friends' positions on the Middle East situation. Within the United States our group consists of members of SDS, The Resistance, and the Peace and Freedom Party, etc. This group is completely unorganized ; we came to know each other through the common ties of the radical nature of our political ideology and our deep concern for social justice. We recognized that it was no quirk of fate that our Jewish backgrounds gave support to these two related viewpoints. It is in this sense that we feel a deep commitment to Jewish thought. Now to the raison d' etre of the paper. As mentioned earlier, one of the reasons that so many of us came together to start this paper, was a growing concern with our radical communities' increasingly anti-Israel posture. As radicals we find this inappropriate, at best. We believe that the easy acceptance of empty metaphors and lack of desire to make meaningful distinctions between vague analogies concerning the Middle East does irreparable damage to the morality of the movement."--taken from "Our Raison d' Etre", page [1], Vol. 1, no. 1 (January [1969]).…

Includes Disclaimer, Foreword, about the Author, and Acknowledgments. Also includes chapters on Introduction; Innovation and Military Revolutions; Logic and Procedure of Analysis; Prelude: Jet Propulsion and the Air Force; The Introduction of Jet Propulsion into the B-52; and Conclusion.

Dr. Mark D. Mandeles founded the J. De Bloch Group, a national security policy consulting firm in 1993, and is an Professorial Lecturer at The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs. He currently is a Senior Advisor at the Center for Naval Analyses, and has worked in or consulted for the Office of the Secretary of Defense/Director of Net Assessment, US JFCOM/Joint Center for Operational Analysis, Under Secretary of Defense (Policy), Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics)/Director Defense Research and Engineering, Joint Staff, USAF/Office of Long Range Planning, Marine Corps Combat Development Center/ Wargaming and Assessment Division, Industrial College of the Armed Forces, Institute for Defense Analyses, Combatting Terrorism Technical Support Office, and the U.S. GAO. Dr. Mandeles is the author or co-author of seven books, and articles, reports,and essays. National security decision makers face an uncertain world where the accelerated growth of knowledge has changed the character of technological advance and destabilized long-standing relations within and among the military services. Dr Mandeles separates the principles that guide decision making from the proverbs through a case study of decision making in the early post-World War II period. This study examines the impact of organization on the invention and development of jet propulsion-in the form of the B-52-and illustrates both the organizational conditions conducive to developing new operational concepts and the organizational innovations necessary to implement new technology. This study also examines how the Air Force organized to learn and acquire new technology, how the Air Force conceived or identified problems, and how it organized to ensure management would respond to program failure or errors. Attention is devoted to the origins of the weapons system operational requirement, the initial concept of operation, the evolution of technology, organizational structure, and implementation.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Transformation has become a buzz word in today's military, but what are its historical precursors-those large scale changes that were once called Revolutions in Military Affairs (RMA)? Who has gotten it right, and who has not? The Department of Defense must learn from history. Most studies of innovation focus on the actions, choices, and problems faced by individuals in a particular organization. Few place these individuals and organizations within the complex context where they operate. Yet, it is this very context that is a powerful determinant of how actions are conceived, examined, and implemented, and of how errors are identified and corrected.The historical cases that Mandeles examines reveal how different military services organized to learn, accumulate, and retrieve knowledge; and how their particular organization affected everything from the equipment they acquired to the quality of doctrine and concepts used in combat. In cases where more than one community of experts was responsible for weighing in on decisionmaking, the service benefited from enhanced application of evidence, sound inference, and logic. These cases demonstrate that, for senior leadership, participating in such a system should be a strategic and deliberate choice. In each of the cases featured in this book, no such deliberate choice was made. The interwar U.S. Navy (USN) aviation community and the U.S. Marine Corps amphibious operation community were lucky that, in a time of rapid technological advance and strategic risk, their decisions in framing and solving technological and operational problems were made within a functioning multi-organizational system. The Army Air Corps and the Royal Marines were unfortunate, with corresponding results. It is characteristic of 20th-century military history that no senior civilian or military leader suggested a policy to handle overlapping responsibilities by multiple departments. Today's policymakers have not learned this lesson. In the present time, while a great deal of thought is devoted to proper organizational design and the numbers of persons required to perform necessary functions, there is still no overarching framework guiding these designs.…
