Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The military's response to changes within the world political and technological environment has been termed a Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA). This monograph summarizes the effects that these changes will have on intelligence operations at the tactical level, or more specifically, the interaction between the tactical commander and the intelligence system which supports him. Though the definition of RMA varies from source to source, it can be distilled to the cumulative effects brought about by the progress of technology, doctrine, organization, and behavior. Recognition that the military is amidst the throes of a Revolution in Military Affairs is not sufficient to produce necessary and meaningful change. A strategy is needed in order to chart the Army's course for the near future and beyond. This concept is formulated in Army programs and has come to be known as 'Force XXI'. Concurrently, the Military Intelligence community is drafting its own, complementary program: 'Intelligence XXI' - 'INTEL XXI'. An brief historical overview is presented in Section 2. A summary of the characteristics of future forces and operations as envisioned by the Force XXI and INTEL XXI programs is found in Section 3. The impact of these programs for tactical intelligence operations is discussed in Sections 4 through 7. The implications of these concepts is framed in terms of their impact on the TRADOC domains - Doctrine; Leadership; Organization (and Manning); and Training. Finally, a summary of what has been construed and recommendations are contained in the Conclusion. Whether the changes encompassed within the INTEL XXI concept actually signal a revolution in military affairs could be debated. Many changes have been proposed and experimented with in the past. Perhaps this revolution will not be gauged by the extent of the proposals, but rather by the degree to which commanders and intelligence operators and analysts maximize the potential of these evolving concepts. The length an.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This thesis examines the initial effort to formulate principles for information- based operations. Although it is impossible to explore each aspect of this transformation, it is worthwhile to examine current efforts by the US military to develop a doctrinal foundation for Information Operations (IO). It explores the ongoing struggle to capture within the confines of Joint military doctrine those critical features of this 'new age driven by information'. The world community is increasingly dependent on reliable information traffic. Information has become a commodity and source of power unto itself. Alvin Toffler describes this period as the transformation of societies from 'second-wave' (industrial/mechanical) to 'third-wave' (information-based) means. The growing dependence of the US military on these infrastructures reveals potentially vulnerable elements of the National Information Infrastructure (NII). This monograph examines the need for a comprehensive IO doctrine. It yields a critical analysis of existing doctrine, illuminates several flaws within the current construct, and concludes with a suggested model for IO development. Doctrinal models are developed for the Army, Air Force, and Navy respectively. These models explain those aspects which most essentially describe the 'doctrinal culture'; of each service component. These factors include: service organization; employment of forces (both in peace and during crisis); and methods of control. In turn, each component model is compared to the revised IO model. Current IO doctrine provides little in the way of enduring principles and mistakenly incorporates a narrow range of offensive options. IO principles should follow the 'cultural perspective'; found within present naval doctrine (a service whose doctrinal development is also at its genesis). A reformulation of the basic IO tenets is necessary to produce doctrine which is adaptive, useful, and appropriate, both in peace and in war.…
