Cyberspace: Malevolent Actors, Criminal Opportunities, and Strategic Competition: Malevolent Actors, Criminal Opportunities, and Strategic Competition
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Williams, Phil    Fiddner, Dighton
(Paperback - English - 9781584877264)
br This report is intended to provide cyberspace decision-makers with a more comprehensive, clearer description of cyberspace, which they can use to manage and make decisions about cyberspace programs to improve the effectiveness of government in this critically important area. The report offers an assessment of, and recommendations focused on, the unique characteristics of cyberspace, which were initially designed without much focus on security or risk management. This publication has three parts: the first focuses on cyberspace, itself; the second on some of the major forms of malevolence or threats that have become one of its defining characteristics; and ..

Project 1704: A U.S. Army War College Analysis of Russian Strategy in Eastern Europe, an Appropriate U.S. Response, and the Implications for U.S. Land
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    O'Malley, Derek    Mastriano, Douglas
(Paperback - English - 9780160934698)
br The strategic calculus changed in Europe with the 2014 Russian seizure of Crimea and its ongoing war against Ukraine. Compounding the dilemma of an aggressive Russia, is the application of ambiguity to create a clock of uncertainty that prevents a decisive response to counter its destabilizing activities. However, this application of ambiguity is easily defeated, if nations are willing to take concerted efforts now to preempt and deter further Russian aggression. Project 1704 provides an honest assessment of the tenuous strategic environment that now envelopes Eastern Europe and offers specific recommendations on how to continue the 70 years of unparalle ..

From Cooperation to Competition -- The Future of U.S. Russian Relations: Report on an Interdisciplinary Wargame Conducted by the U.S. Army War Ciolleg
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Defense Dept    Army Dept (U S )
(Paperback - English - 9780160934704)
The Russian aggression in 2014 was an event that caught the United States and its NATO allies by surprise. The reexamination of the U.S.-Russian relationship in the past 12 months has led to a renewed search for insight into modern Russia. That search has resulted in a greater understanding of the 'Russian system' and the forces of stasis and change at work on its various components. br br This project, described in this publication, used systems thinking design methods to analyze and collaborate, leading to increased understanding of the Russian system. The subsequent wargame was tied to the design approach and led to richer levels of structured collabora ..

Prospects for the Rule of Law in Cyberspace
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Giles, Keir   
(Paperback - English - 9781584877462)
The application of international law and legal principles in cyberspace is a topic that has caused confusion, doubt, and interminable discussions between lawyers since the earliest days of the internationalization of the Internet. The still unresolved debate over whether cyberspace constitutes a fundamentally new domain that requires fundamentally new laws to govern it reveals basic ideological divides. On the one hand, the Euro-Atlantic community led by the United States believes, in broad terms, that activities in cyberspace require no new legislation, and existing legal obligations are sufficient. On the other, a large number of other states led by Russia and ..

Always Strategic: Jointly Essential Landpower: Jointly Essential Landpower
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Gray, Colin S.    Lovelace, Douglas C.
(Paperback - English - 9781584876656)
American Landpower is a strategic instrument of state policy and needs to be considered as such. This monograph explores and explains the nature of Landpower, both in general terms and also with particular regard to the American case. The monograph argues that: (1) Landpower is unique in the character of the quality it brings to the American joint team for national security; (2) the U.S. has a permanent need for the human quality in Landpower that this element provides inherently; (3) Landpower is always and, indeed, necessarily strategic in its meaning and implications--it is a quintessentially strategic instrument of state policy and politics; (4) strategic La ..

Maturing Defense Support of Civil Authorities and the Dual Status Commander Arrangement Through the Lens of Process Improvement
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Burke, Ryan    McNeil, Sue
(Paperback - English - 9781584876731)
During large-scale emergencies or disasters, National Guard forces regularly operate alongside Active Component forces in response to requests from civil authorities. Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA), the U.S. military's domestic disaster response capability is robust. During incidents of great magnitude or duration, when local and state authorities are overwhelmed or unable to respond as needed, civil authorities sometimes request assistance from the Department of Defense (DoD). These DSCA operations span a wide range of scenarios, including response to natural and man-made disasters, civil disturbances, terrorism, and other significant incidents. In ..

Outplayed: Regaining Strategic Initiative in the Gray Zone, a National Security Research Project: Regaining Strategic Initiative in the Gray Zone, a N
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Freier, Nathan   
(Paperback - English - 9781584877325)
U.S. competitors pursuing meaningful revision or rejection of the current U.S.-led status quo are employing a host of hybrid methods to advance and secure interests contrary to those of the United States. These challengers employ unique combinations of influence, intimidation, coercion, and aggression to incrementally crowd out effective resistance, establish local or regional advantage, and manipulate risk perceptions in their favor. So far, the United States has not come up with a coherent countervailing approach. It is in this "gray zone"--the awkward and uncomfortable space between traditional conceptions of war and peace--where the United States and its def ..

The Limits of Offshore Balancing
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Brands, Hal    Army War College (U S )
(Paperback - English - 9781584877028)
Is offshore balancing the right grand strategy for America? Is it time for Washington to roll back the vast system of overseas security commitments and forward military deployments that have anchored its international posture since World War II? This monograph argues that the answer to these questions is no. Offshore balancing represents the preferred grand strategy among many leading international-relations "realists," who argue that significant geopolitical retrenchment can actually improve America's strategic position while slashing the costs of its foreign policy. The reality, however, is rather different. The probable benefits of offshore balancing--both fi ..

Parsing Chinese-Russian Military Exercises
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Weitz, Richard    Army War College (U S )
(Paperback - English - 9781584876809)
China and Russia have engaged in an increasing number of joint exercises in recent years. These drills aim to help them deter and, if necessary, defeat potential threats, such as Islamist terrorists trying to destabilize a Central Asian government, while at the same time reassuring their allies that Russia and China would protect them from such challenges. Furthermore, the exercises and other joint Russia-China military activities have a mutual reassurance function, informing Moscow and Beijing about the other's military potential and building mutual confidence about their friendly intentions toward one another. Finally, the joint exercises try to communicate to ..

India's Evolving Nuclear Force and Its Implications for U.S. Strategy in the Asia-Pacific
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Army War College (U S )    Defense Dept
(Paperback - English - 9781584877271)
Since India declared itself a nuclear weapon state in May 1998, its nuclear capabilities have grown significantly. India is now on the verge of acquiring a triad of nuclear delivery systems. Its increasing nuclear profile has also stirred a debate on its stated nuclear doctrine involving principles of No First Use (NFU) and massive retaliation. This Letort Paper examines changes in India's nuclear trajectory, the accompanying doctrinal debate, and its nonproliferation policies in the backdrop of the current regional and international context. The implications of this for the United States and its policy in the Asia-Pacific region are also discussed. India's nucl ..

The Limits of Military Officers' Duty to Obey Civilian Orders: A Neo-Classical Perspective: A Neo-Classical Perspective
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )       
(Paperback - English - 9781584876960)
This monograph offers a neo-classically republican perspective on a perennial problem of civilian-military relations: limitations on military officers' obligation to obey civilian authorities. All commentators agree that military officers are generally obliged--morally, professionally, and legally--to obey civilian orders, even as they agree that this rule of obedience must admit exceptions. Commentators tend to differ, however, on the basis and breadth of these exceptions. br br Following Samuel Huntington's classic analysis in The Soldier and the State, this monograph shows that disagreement about the breadth of the exceptions tends to assume that their ..

Social Media: The Vital Ground, Can We Hold It?: Can We Hold It?
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Army War College (U S )    Tunnicliffe, Ian
(Paperback - English - 9781584877523)
The impact of social media on the media environment has been widely recognized; as has the ability of extremist and adversarial organizations to exploit social media to publicize their cause, spread their propaganda, and recruit vulnerable individuals. Supporting the growth of social media has been the phenomenal global increase in mobile telephone usage, and much of this increase is in areas where there are existing conflicts or conflicts are highly likely.These combined revolutions will increasingly have a direct impact on virtually all aspects of military operations in the 21st century. In doing so, social media will force significant changes to policy, doctr ..

Cyber Defense: An International View: An International View
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Giles, Keir    Hartmann, Kim
(Paperback - English - 9781584876977)
An overview of four different national approaches to cyber defense are discussed: those of Norway, Estonia, Germany and Sweden. While providing a useful guide for engagement with the relevant governmental and other organizations in each of these countries, the monograph also compares and contrasts the advantages and drawbacks of each national approach, and analyzes if some of these approaches can be adopted in the United States context. These approaches aim to provide baseline information on overseas structures and planning to facilitate U.S. cooperation with international partners. br br br br Related products: br br Military Engagement and Fo ..

The Rise of Iwar: Identity, Information, and the Individualization of Modern Warfare: Identity, Information, and the Individualization of Modern Warfa
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Voelz, Glenn J.    Army War College (U S )
(Paperback - English - 9781584877035)
This monograph examines the doctrinal, technical, and bureaucratic innovations that evolved in response to these new operational warfare challenges. It discusses the transition from a conventionally focused, Cold War-era targeting process to an in-depth examination of emerging technologies that are likely to shape how this mode of warfare will be waged in the future. The rise of iWar has introduced a new operational paradigm and approach to warfare characterized by three distinct elements: individualization , identity , and information . Military leaders, soldiers, intelligence community professionals, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) personnel, information ..

(Paperback - English - 9781584876786)
Stand Up and Fight is a collection of essays that explores how new National Security Organizations are stood up--that is, formed, organized, funded, and managed--in the first years of their existence. From Joint ventures to combatant commands to cabinet-level departments, each organization's history reveals important themes and lessons for leaders to consider in forming a new organization. br br A substantive introduction defines the scope of the project and outlines several important themes including organizational rivalry, the problems of analogical reasoning, the use of simulations, the consequences of failure, the significance of leadership and organiz ..

Russia's Counterinsurgency in North Caucasus: Performance and Consequences: The Strategic Threat of Religious Extremism and Moscow's Response
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Cohen, Ariel    Army War College (U S )
(Paperback - English - 9781584876069)
The North Caucasus region has been a source of instability for the past several centuries. Most recently, Chechen aspirations to achieve full independence after the break-up of the Soviet Union led to two disastrous wars. While the active phase of the Chechen conflict ended in year 2000--more than a decade ago-- the underlying social, economic, and political issues of the region remain. A low-level insurgency continues to persist in the North Caucasus region, with occasional terrorist attacks in the Russian heartland. . There are few reasons to expect any substantial improvement in the situation for years to come. Chechnya functions as a de facto independent ent ..

Can Egypt Lead the Arab World Again?: Assessing Opportunities and Challenges: Assessing Opportunities and Challenges for U.S. Policy
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Aftandilian, Gregory   
(Paperback - English - 9781584877554)
This monograph examines the possibility of Egypt leading the Arab world again, and how that effort, if successful, will present opportunities and challenges for U.S. policy. At the present time, Egypt is not in a position to do so given its many domestic problems stemming from its turbulent politics since 2011 and the challenges facing its economy, which is currently experiencing high unemployment, weak tourism revenues because of terrorist incidents, and high rates of inflation as it implements an International Monetary Fund (IMF) economic reform package. However, Egypt has faced similar problems in the past and has recovered from them, enabling it to pursue an ..

Augmenting Our Influence: Alliance Revitalization and Partner Development
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Army War College (U S )    Deni, John R.
(Paperback - English - 9781584876151)
As the United States and its allies prepare to withdraw most of their military forces from Afghanistan and following the end of the war in Iraq, fundamental questions have arisen over the future of American Landpower. Among them are the role of allies and partners in terms of contributing to the safeguarding of shared global interests, the implications of the Pacific rebalancing for American alliances worldwide, and the role of Landpower in identifying, developing, and maintaining critical alliances, partnerships, and other relationships. To examine these and other questions, as well as to formulate potential solutions to the challenges facing U.S. national secu ..

NATO Cyberspace Capability: A Strategic and Operational Evolution: A Strategic and Operational Evolution
by Strategic Studies Institute (U S )    Army War College (U S )   
(Paperback - English - 9781584877288)
The development of cyberspace defense capabilities for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has been making steady progress since its formal introduction at the North Atlantic Council Prague Summit in 2002. Bolstered by numerous cyber attacks, such as those in Estonia (2007), Alliance priorities were formalized in subsequent NATO cyber defense policies adopted in 2008, 2011, and 2014. br This monograph examines the past and current state of cyberspace defense efforts in NATO to assess the appropriateness and sufficiency to address anticipated threats to member countries, including the United States. The analysis focuses on the recent history of cyber ..

This updated volume is of special relevance in light of the profound changes occurring within the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). China's desire to develop a military commensurate with its diverse interests is both legitimate and understandable. The challenge for U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) is to understand how China will employ this growing military capability in support of its interests. The book addresses the uncertainty surrounding the potential direction of the PLA by examining three distinct focus areas: domestic, external, and technological drivers of PLA modernization; alternative futures for the PLA; and, Implications for the region, world, a ..
