strategic options for the conduct of UW. The modern Jedburghs provide Joint Force Commanders with the capability to conduct the most difficult aspects of UW campaigns by understanding, influencing, and shaping the operational environment, deterring adversary forces, and when necessary, defeating threats to U.S. national security. The operational tempo that 4th BN’s face today obstructs from the operator’s ability to receive advanced unconventional warfare training, military training directly related
There will be significant challenges facing the United States in the next 10 years regarding strategic threats and global security. The three overlapping types of conflicts which will dictate future wars, challenge government agencies, and force all branches of the Armed Forces to restructure their formations are “Wars of Silicon, Iron, and Shadow.” The four U.S. Services will need to rebalance, be adaptive, implement strategic agility, and reprioritize their programs to meet specific security
The implications of implementing the Joint Concept for Access and Maneuver in the Global Commons (JAM-GC), or Air-Sea Battle, presents opportunities and challenges which must be addressed to realize its full potential. This is especially true in the context of the rebalance to the Asia Pacific region. As described in Air-Sea Battle: Service Collaboration to Address Anti-Access and Area Denial Challenges, Air-Sea Battle is a vital part of dealing with anti-access and area denial (A2/AD)
by geographical position, is not determined by it.” The geographic ‘Defence of Australia’ concept is even further opposed by Allan Dupont, who asserts that it is “based on geographical determinism that ignores the diverse and globalised nature of modern conflict.” Meanwhile, Ross Babbage does note the significance of Australia’s geostrategic location by stating that “(Australia) need(s) to adapt to the rise of two or three very major powers in the Asia-Pacific-Indian Ocean region,” however, wishes
Joint Force 2025 must be capable of addressing emerging threats by conducting globally integrated operations across all domains in support of the elements of national power. Therefore, the Department of Defense (DOD) needs to rebalance and transition several general capabilities in order for Joint Force 2025 to address emerging threats to U.S. national interests. The services must invest in systems that maintain strategic deterrence, infrastructure that supports power projection and operational
for amphibious assault ships and conduct operations similar to the Harrier’s, which has been primarily serviced by the Marines. The main similarity to Harrier missions is the STOVL capability, allowing the aircraft to land and take off in hostile environments or when shorter landing strips are available. When engaging enemy forces, it can preform CAS with increased effectiveness than the Harrier due to a larger payload capacity and much improved stealth and anti-detection characteristics. Many types
kindergartens, hospitals, building water-pipeline, bridges, donating special equipment (incubators), etc. Through the Exercise-related Construction program (ERC), US Govt invested to the military training area in Slunj approximately $400.000 for urban warfare training ground, and $400.000 to the training area in Udbina for the new command building. The third part covers the other developmental programs to the local communities, like the reconstruction of high school building in Vukovar, furnishing the
military struggled to adapt to a dramatically changed international environment. The growing number of radical non-state actors, and an international environment that seemed largely opposed to warfare, even if provoked, drove a call for change both within America’s military and from agencies outside the military structure. The terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001 galvanized America’s attention on the newest and most frightening threat. The majority of international terrorist groups will continue to
Darin Swan University of Maryland University College Two factors increase the stakes of the cyber struggle. Tactically and operationally, the increasing dependence of modern technologically advanced forces (especially U.S. forces) on networks and information systems create new kinds of exploitable vulnerabilities. Second, as modern societies including the militaries that mirror them have continued to evolve, they have become ever more dependent on a series of interconnected, increasingly vulnerable
Introduction In this modern world, Information Technology forms the integral part of any kind of business. In the 21st century, countries across the globe have come to rely on complex computer networks that form the infrastructural backbone of even the most basic necessities of life, including electric power grids, global finance, food distribution, medical care, clean drinking water, petroleum production, and most types of communication. The protection of such networks, known as cyber security
