 | Current trends indicate that China will have more global impact the next 20 years than any other country. The engine driving China's rise is an economy that appears to grow double-digits annually. The global financial crisis and China's huge cash reserves endow it with front-row seats in world affairs. Chinese leaders wax eloquently about China's peaceful rise as a global power. Yet China's actions around the world tell a much ... |

| The tenets of official United States counterterrorist policy states the government will make no concessions or deal with terrorists, will bring them to justice for their crimes, will isolate and apply pressure to states that sponsor terrorism, and will bolster the counterterrorist capabilities of countries willing to work with the United States. Although these tenets are sound principles, their application-specifically, overseas and/or beyond the borders of the United States-constitutes homeland ... |

If terrorist attacks could be so successful against the most powerful nation in the world, what could other nation's leaders anticipate against their own countries? The people of the world waited for the U.S. reaction, the expected offensive strikes ... |

| Today's Long War requires, even demands, that all elements of America's national power be focused on victory. The Department of Defense (DoD) is the lead for the military element and the Department of State (DoS) is the lead for the diplomatic element, but can these two agencies communicate and synchronize their pieces of the complex victory formula? Only through a closely coordinated and synchronized war effort that relies on the ... |

| Post September 11, 2001, the United States began the largest mobilization of National Guard Soldiers since World War II. The Army drawdown of the early 1990s and corresponding reduction in commissioning of lieutenants set the stage for 65% manning of the mid-grade officer ranks within National Guard formations. The transformation from a legacy heavy formation to a lighter modular force, a growth in MTOE field grade officer requirements, and attrition ... |

| The recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan suggest the United States is much more adept at winning wars than it is at winning the peace. This problem is a double edged sword, because the same capabilities required to establish the conditions for a sustainable peace post-conflict are also typically required for pre-conflict engagements intended to prevent conflict. The urgency of this dilemma is compounded by the fact that while our ... |

| The US surge strategy in Iraq was almost implemented too late. However, it appears that it has worked to create the opportunity for political progress as a fledgling Iraqi government struggles to enfranchise Sunnis, Kurds, and extremist Shia militias. Increasing this already monumental challenge is the eventual withdrawal of American troops and low oil prices. Despite these challenges, hope now exists where it did not before. This project examines the ... |

This is an opportunity for Army expeditionary contracting to change from its traditional ... |

| History contains many examples of nations that rise to the top of global power only to fall again. Some of the most comprehensive research shows that this rise and fall is closely linked to changes in relative economic strength and the military power this economic strength enables. Nations that reach global supremacy have economies that were built upon years and years of positive forces, all cumulatively pushing to a crescendo ... |

The traditional staff structure of j-coded staff directorates and the functional organization of a joint force staff are mutually supporting constructs.

Specifically, knowledge created and shared within and among responsible organizations enables timely and effective problem solving, decision making, and action critical to successful SSTRO in complex and uncertain environments. Organizational culture, however, poses a major barrier to ... |

| Contemporary war theorists face a bedeviling thicket of problems precluding accurate forecasting or estimation. War is a complex, multivariate, and difficult-to-define enterprise; it is a quintessentially human activity, arising from man's emotional and rational makeup, his civilization, his genetic heritage, and his environment. War theorists' personal familiarity with the planning, practice, and consequences of war drive their adoption of a philosophical -- nonscientific -- framework for understanding which ignores underlying ... |
