The inter- relationships between its sources (policy and fleet influences), partners (notably the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland), and of course its products, its graduates, are represented here by their arrangement in a toroid-like pattern—denoting continu- ity and suggestive of infinity.

Baer A strategy, argues a distinguished Naval War College scholar, will show the maritime services what they are to protect, what they are to pursue, and for what they are to prepare. A new maritime strategy will express the way the nation sees itself in respect to the world ocean and declare what the fleet can do about it. A Bimodal Force for the National Maritime Strategy. 29 Captain Wayne P. Hughes, Jr., U.S. Navy (Retired) A “bimodal” national military strategy would have two, and only two, objectives: first, the capabilities to deal with a peer competitor, and second, the means to conduct several small operations concurrently. What capabilities would the naval forces need? Would they cost no more than our present capabilities? Would this bimodal force be capable of dealing with other situations? Asia Rising Carving Up the East China Sea . 49 Peter Dutton So far, China and Japan seem to be talking past each other in their dispute over the East China Sea. But the stakes are high, given the possibility that supposedly “managed” conflict can result in unintended war. Recent practice in international law could chart a way forward. China and United Nations Peacekeeping Operations in Africa . 73 Lieutenant Colonel Philippe D. Rogers, U.S. Marine Corps China has dramatically increased in participation in United Nations peacekeeping, particularly in Africa. This peacekeeping presence represents just one, but nevertheless an important, facet of growing Chinese influence in Africa, one that needs to be understood and appreciated by American policy makers.

But it would be dangerous to assume that major naval operations are of simply historical interest; they should be thought about more systematically. Law of Armed Conflict Targeted Killing and the Law of Armed Conflict. 127 Gary Solis Targeted killing is not the battlefield killing of combatants by opposing combatants or the assassination of an individual for political purposes. But in a new age of nonstate actors engaged in transnational terrorist violence, it has become a new reality, and the law of armed conflict should recognize it.
