  • Russia In Afghanistan And Chechnya
    Robert M. Cassidy / Robert MCassidy / Strategic Studies Institute
    This study examines and compares the performance of the Soviet military in Afghanistan and the Russian military in Chechnya. It aims to discern continuity or change in methods and doctrine. Because of Russian military cultural preferences for a big-war paradigm that have been embedded over time, moreover, this work posits that continuity rather than change was much more probabl...

  • Reconstructing Iraq
    Conrad C. Crane / Strategic Studies Institute / W. Andrew Terrill
    During World War II, the U.S. military’s extensive planning for the occupation of Germany was a major factor in achieving long-term strategic objectives after the war was won. More recent examples of military operations also emphasize the challenges of post-conflict operations and the criticality of detailed planning and preparation. As the possibility of war with Iraq looms on...

  • The United States And Iraq’s Shi’ite Clergy
    Strategic Studies Institute / W. Andrew Terrill / WAndrew Terrill
    The U.S. military presence in Iraq is currently in a transitional phase. Either the anti-U.S. insurgency will be brought under control and security will be provided to those forces involved in nationbuilding; or the insurgency will expand, and U.S. goals in Iraq will be undermined by increasing civil unrest. It is imperative that the former objective be accomplished while the l...

  • Toward An American Way Of War
    Antulio J. Echevarria II / Antulio JEchevarria II / Strategic Studies Institute
    The American way of war has been much written about over the years. That literature is remarkable for its explicit and implicit consensus regarding the overriding characteristics of the American approach to warfare--aggressive, direct, and focused on achieving decisive victory. A way of war implies thinking about conflict holistically, from prewar condition-setting to the final...

  • U.S.-Ukraine Military Relations And The Value Of Interoperability
    Leonid I. Polyakov / Leonid IPolyakov / Strategic Studies Institute
    Ukraine has been a pivotal actor in Eurasia since its independence in 1991. Ukraine’s destiny is critical to the security of the entire post- Soviet zone, and both it and the United States always have acted on that assumption. The stated goal of Ukrainian defense policy long has been to integrate with Euro-Atlantic structures like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), ...

  • Winning The War By Winning The Peace
    Lloyd J. Matthews / Lloyd JMatthews / Strategic Studies Institute
    With little doubt, three of the most pressing and frequent problems grappled with in Western defense and geostrategic literature over the past 20-30 years have been how to fight asymmetric wars, how to win the hearts and minds of an enemy populace, and how to terminate wars and devise exit strategies successfully. None of these problems is new in the history of warfare, of cour...

  • Britain’s Role In U.S. Missile Defense
    Jeremy Stocker / Strategic Studies Institute
    U.S. plans for missile defense have been a contentious issue in transatlantic relations for nearly 40 years. Notwithstanding the recent focus on events in Iraq, ballistic missile defense (BMD) remains a significant part of American defense policy, and an aspect that continues to generate interest and concern abroad. At the same time, U.S. allies have potentially important roles...

  • Checking Iran’s Nuclear Ambitions
    Henry Sokolski / Patrick Clawson / Strategic Studies Institute
    In his introduction to the September 2002 National Security Strategy of the United States, President George W. Bush wrote, 'The gravest danger our Nation faces lies at the crossroads of radicalism and technology.

  • China And North Korea
    Andrew Scobell / Strategic Studies Institute
    The relationship between China and North Korea surely ranks as one of world’s strangest. While on the surface, it might not seem surprising to have a formal military alliance between two communist neighbors that has endured more than 4 decades. After all, their armed forces fought shoulder-to-shoulder in the Korean War 50 years ago. However, Beijing’s ties to Pyongyang have wea...

  • Civil-Military Cooperation In Peace Operations
    Strategic Studies Institute / Thomas R. Mockaitis / Thomas RMockaitis
    The U.S. missions to Bosnia and Kosovo and the current operation in Iraq make it clear that winning wars accomplishes little if we cannot also win the peace. The strategic goals for which the wars are fought can only be achieved if the follow-on mission leaves an occupied territory more stable and democratic than before. Civilmilitary cooperation (CIMIC) is the key to achieving...

  • Countering Global Terrorism
    Roger N. McDermott / Roger NMcDermott / Strategic Studies Institute
    Central Asia is a key theater in the war on terrorism. It is a region of fragile new states, all facing a wide range of challenges. Ungoverned regions―the cauldron of terrorism―are common. As the U.S. State Department notes, the United States, 'learned a harsh lesson after we disengaged from Afghanistan in the early 1990s. We must not allow countries to become breeding grounds ...

    Scott A. Jones / Scott AJones / Strategic Studies Institute
    The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and advanced conventional arms remains one of the gravest threats to the security of the international community. Countries of concern continue to pursue WMD by purchasing related technologies and components from foreign suppliers.

  • Developing Adaptive Leaders
    Leonard Wong / Strategic Studies Institute
    The euphoria over the exceptionally successful combat operations of the Iraqi War has subsided as Operation IRAQI FREEDOM shifted to the long, hard tasks of nation-building and counterinsurgency. By all accounts, the process of assisting Iraq in becoming a secure, stable democracy has become much more complicated than originally believed. Yet within the complex environment of p...

  • Insurgency And Counterinsurgency In The 21st Century
    Raymond Millen / Strategic Studies Institute
    Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States has developed a national security strategy designed to eliminate the conditions that spawn asymmetric threats. An important part of that is helping build stable, legitimate governments in nations which allowed or supported terrorism and other forms of asymmetric aggression. This has led the United States to renewed invo...

  • Iraq And Vietnam
    Jeffrey Record / Strategic Studies Institute / W. Andrew Terrill / WAndrew Terrill
    U.S. political and military diffi culties in Iraq have prompted comparisons to the American war in Vietnam. How, in fact, do the two wars compare? What are the differences and similarities, and what insights can be gained from examining them? Does the Vietnam War have instructive lessons for those dealing with today’s challenges in Iraq, or is that war simply irrelevant? In the...

  • Islamic Rulings On Warfare
    Sherifa Zuhur / Strategic Studies Institute / Youssef H. Aboul-Enein / Youssef HAboul-Enein
    The United States no doubt will be involved in the Middle East for many decades. To be sure, settling the Israeli-Palestinian dispute or alleviating poverty could help to stem the tides of Islamic radicalism and anti-American sentiment. But on an ideological level, we must confront a specific interpretation of Islamic law, history, and scripture that is a danger to both the Uni...

  • Learning From The Stones
    David Lai / Strategic Studies Institute
    Most of the ideas that form of the foundation of American defense policy and military strategy today were once new and untested concepts at the far edge of strategic thought. It took thinkers of vision and creativity to give them life and refine them to the point they could be adopted by the defense community and used for strategy and force development. This is a never ending p...

  • Paths Diverging? The Next Decade In The U.S.-Japan Security Alliance
    Strategic Studies Institute / William E. Rapp / William ERapp
    Currently, optimism reigns among managers on both sides of the U.S.-Japan alliance for many reasons, not least of which is the Japanese support for the global war on terror. The Japanese are emerging from 5 decades of military minimalism and dependency and beginning to have serious debates about their role in the world and the efficacy of military power.

  • Reconfiguring The American Military Presence In Europe
    LTC Raymond A. Millen / LTC Raymond AMillen / Strategic Studies Institute
    What does NATO bring to U.S. national security in practical terms? This rhetorical question seeks not so much to provoke debate than to invoke NATO’s potential. In the post-Cold War era, especially during the war on terrorism, NATO’s raison d’être must expand beyond securing the immediate borders of member states. In this monograph, Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Millen examines Am...

    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute
    This monograph begins with a short discussion of contemporary insurgency. It argues that in studying terror war, guerrilla war, or any other common term for insurgency war, we find these expressions mischaracterize the activities of armed groups that are attempting to gain political control of a state. These organizations are engaged in a highly complex political act--political...

    Samuel J. Newland / Samuel JNewland / Strategic Studies Institute
    Since the early stages of World War II, militaries in general, and the U.S. Army in particular, have studied the German way of war, specifically as practiced in the 20th century. While acknowledging that Germany-and before that nation came into existence, Prussia- produced some excellent armies, major problems with the German way of war must not be ignored. Even the casual obse...
