 | The political, economic, and security environment of the Asia-Pacific region in the 21St century will be shaped in very large part by the interrelationships among the United States, Japan, China, and Russia. To the extent these four nations can cooperate, a generally benign environment can develop in which the challenges sure to develop in the region can be managed. Conversely, tensions and conflict among the four will have a profoundly ... |

| The use of regionally recorded Rayleigh waves to estimate isotropic moment and psi-infinity for the purpose of yield estimation is investigated. These seismological parameters and their variability are consistent with other investigations. Psi-infinity shows less variability than isotropic moment as a yield estimator. Preliminary results on wave propagation in the Korean peninsula are also presented. |

| Trends in modern warfare make it imperative for operational design to be adaptive. Most modern wars will be limited wars fought for limited objectives. War termination strategy will shift during the course of the war from military victory to negotiated settlement. This strategic shift warrants a change in operational objectives from those intended to secure military victory to ones intended to influence negotiations by managing the costs of war in ... |

For General Powell, the President's request significantly altered his approach to the crisis in the desert.

Although US military commanders and planners had experience deterring aggression during the Cold War, ... |

| As we entered World War II, what little airlift doctrine existed was based largely on limited experiences. Beginning with the development of airlift using balloons in the Civil War, through World War I, and the inter-war period, combat airlift and airlift doctrine was untested. However, many important events since caused airlift to mature and evolve-the varied operations of World War II, Berlin, Korea, Vietnam, Israel, Grenada, Panama, and the Gulf ... |

| Although there has been criticism of logistical efforts during the early phase of the Korean war, there has been no distinction made between logistics at the strategic, operational, or tactical levels. An analysis of Operation Chromite, the amphibious landing at Inchon, reveals that logistical shortcomings were primarily at the strategic level, while successful efforts at the operational level helped overcome strategic deficiencies. An assessment of efforts to prepare the logistics ... |

| This paper investigates the Chinese concept of operational art in tne twentieth century. A dichotomy has traditionally existed in Chinese doctrine which professes a lead-power status in Asia while emphasizing anti- professionalism in the military. This political- military relationship has severely limited the PLA to function effectively at the operational level of war for past and possibly future power protections operations. This paper will examine the limitations that traditional Chinese ... |
