|
| The new administration that assumes power on 20 January 2009 will face suboptimal relations with a region that is paradoxically quite important to the United States, yet often neglected. Years of focusing policy on the Middle East and certain U.S. diplomatic decisions have complicated the already problematic relations the United States has with many of its Latin American neighbors. This paper will briefly examine the history of U.S.-Latin American relations, ... |

 | Georgia joined NATO's Partnership for Peace (PFP) program in 1994. At the NATO Summit in Prague in November 2002, Georgia declared that it aspired to eventual NATO membership and sought to intensify ties with NATO through an Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) to increase the interoperability and capability of its military forces. After Georgia's rose revolution of late 2003 brought a new reformist government to power, Georgia placed top priority ... |

| U.S. ground force presence in Europe has declined significantly since the end of the Cold War. In the late 1980s over 200,000 Soldiers, organized with 2 Corps Headquarters, 4 Division Headquarters, and over 16 ground combat brigade equivalents, were stationed in Germany. In the early 1990s a massive reduction in ground forces led to a force of about 42,000 Soldiers structured around 5 ground combat brigades. In 2003, the Bush ... |

| Are existing Acquisition Cross-Servicing Agreements (ACSA) and Mutual Logistics Support Agreements (MLSA) in the Pacific Command (PACOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR) sufficient to support operations in the future? The basic parameters of this problem require a definition of both ACSA and MLSA, a review of standing PACOM agreements, an analysis of anticipated requirements in the future, and an identification of shortfalls and possible solutions. This project outlines current logistics capabilities ... |

| Iran has an active interest in developing, acquiring, and deploying a broad range of ballistic missiles, as well as developing a space launch capability. This was spotlighted several times since 2008. In mid-July 2008, Iran launched a number of ballistic missiles during military exercises, reportedly including the medium-range Shahab-3. At the time, a Pentagon spokesman said Iran was not testing new technologies or capabilities, but rather firing off old equipment ... |
