Abstract

"National security, a topic routinely discussed behind closed doors by Washington's political scientists and policy makers, is believed to be an insider's game. All too often this highly specialized knowledge is assumed to place issues beyond the grasp--and interest--of the American public. Author D. Robert Worley disagrees. The U.S. national security system, designed after World War II and institutionalized through a decades-long power conflict with the Soviet Union, is inadequate for the needs of the twenty-first century, and while a general consensus has emerged that the system must be transformed, a clear and direct route for a new national security strategy proves elusive. Furnishing the tools to assist in future national security reforms, Orchestrating the Instruments of Power articulates and synthesizes the concepts of America's economic, political, and military instruments of power"-- "Orchestrating the Instruments of Power provides a comprehensive analysis of the existing body of politics and theory scholarship in U.S. national security-making strategy"--

Abstract

Based on observations of Army Group, corps, and division command posts in action over 12 different exercises and on interviews with a variety of military experts (including doctrine writers and former commanders), this report discusses the information needs of commanders of higher-echelon Army units. The authors attempted to determine the reasons commanders and staff communicated information and to clarify the intended uses of that information. They identified three different modes of command-post-level communication--pipeline, alarm, and tree. Each mode is indicative of a different communication relationship between a commander and his staff, and each places different demands on the command-and-control operating system. To fulfill commanders' information needs, the authors recommend a number of education and training measures: (1) institutionalize back-briefing, (2) teach process as well as procedures, and (3) train unit command staffs to share images. As for the design of information systems, they recommend that the Army (1) identify means of more direct image sharing, (2) build a hybrid information system, and (3) establish an end-user to end-user communications orientation. Originally written in 1989, the information remains timely and useful; new edition includes a foreword by General Gordon Sullivan (USA-Ret.)

Abstract

Peace, War, and Partnership: Congress and the Military since World War II, edited by William A. Taylor, explores the intricate relationship between the United States Congress and the military from the end of World War II to the present. The book highlights Congress's role in shaping military and defense policies through budgets, committees, and legislative actions. It examines key historical events such as the passage of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and the Strategic Defense Initiative, illustrating the dynamic and evolving nature of this relationship. The volume is a valuable resource for understanding the balance of power between legislative and executive branches and is aimed at students, academics, and professionals interested in U.S. foreign policy, military history, and the separation of powers.
