Its primary aim is to provide a snapshot of a pro- cess—the ongoing reconfiguration of America’s foreign military “footprint” abroad— that is likely to prove of the most fundamental importance for the long-term security of the United States, yet has so far received little if any systematic attention from na- tional security specialists and still less from the wider public. As such, it serves well the broad mission of the Newport Papers series—to provide rigorous and authoritative analysis, of a sort not readily available in the world of academic or commercial pub- lishing, of issues of strategic salience to the U.S. Navy and the national security com- munity generally. Reposturing the Force is, however, unusual in the manner in which it combines rigor and authoritativeness, for several of its authors are or recently were senior U.S. govern- ment officials. Ryan Henry and Lincoln Bloomfield, Jr., have been central figures in the Global Defense Posture Review (initiated by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in 2002 as the key mechanism for forcing transformation of the U.S. overseas presence) while serving as, respectively, Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs. As such, they are uniquely positioned to comment on the unfolding of this vast, complex, and extremely sensitive undertaking, many of the details of which are still in flux or are (and likely will remain) classified. For additional perspective on the subject, however, we have felt it important to include also papers by several independent scholars and policy analysts. Robert Harkavy’s opening essay helps to place current developments in the American global posture in a larger historical and strategic framework. Andrew Erickson and Justin Mikolay provide an in-depth analysis of the role of Guam in recent thinking and deci- sions about the posture of the U.S. military in the western Pacific. Finally, Robert Work examines the emerging concept of “sea basing” in Navy and Marine Corps doctrine and force planning, an integral yet so far largely neglected dimension of the American military presence abroad. The papers by Henry and Bloomfield were specially commissioned for this volume, and the editor would like to thank both authors for their eager and responsive participation in this project. Also instrumental in supporting this effort within the Office of the Sec- retary of Defense were Barry Pavel; Captain Randall Hendrickson, USN; Lesley Young; T:\Academic\Newport Papers\Newport Paper Lord\Ventura\NPLord.vp Tuesday, February 07, 2006 10:14:14 AM Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen vi THE NEWPORT PAPERS and Brian Arakelian; thanks are due to each of them. Finally, I would like to express ap- preciation to Robert Work for making available portions of a larger manuscript on Navy/Marine Corps force structure, as well as to Henry Kamradt of the Center for Na- val Warfare Studies for his editorial work on this material. Ryan Henry’s paper has been formally reviewed and cleared for publication by the De- partment of Defense. The remaining papers reflect the opinions of the authors and should not be assumed to coincide with the official views of the Department of the Navy, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. government generally. CARNES LORD Director, Naval War College Press Newport, Rhode Island T:\Academic\Newport Papers\Newport Paper Lord\Ventura\NPLord.vp Tuesday, February 07, 2006 10:14:14 AM Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen Introduction CARNES LORD Perhaps because American theorizing about war and strategy has in recent times been heavily influenced by the land-power orientation of our chief adversaries, the subject of overseas bases and the necessity of reliance on them for the projection of power across maritime theaters of operations has remained very much at the margins of stra- tegic analysis in the United States. The revival of the thought of the nineteenth-century Prussian theorist of war Carl von Clausewitz within the American armed forces begin- ning in the late 1970s has not been matched by a rediscovery of our own Alfred Thayer Mahan, the late-Victorian apostle of a navy with global reach as the chief enabler of national power. Mahan’s classic work The Influence of Seapower upon History 1600– 1783 (1890) made a convincing case that the rise of Britain in modern times was de- cisively aided by its ability to dominate the world’s sea lines of communication by its formidable navy, supported, on the one hand, by a robust foreign commerce and, on the other, by a network of strategically positioned overseas bases. In the contemporary world, the immense technological advantages enjoyed by American ground and air forces too often lead us to take for granted the continuing importance for the United States of command of the sea—and its corollary, ready access to the territory of distant friends and adversaries throughout the world.1 The long series of conflicts between Britain and France and their various respective al- lies that culminated in the defeat of Napoleon in 1815 were the first truly global wars. The strategic competition they engendered gave a powerful impetus to the develop- ment of the great European overseas empires and helps explain the shape those em- pires took. Now-forgotten battles over remote places such as Mauritius, Réunion, and Trincomalee helped decide which power would control India and the China trade. World War I is commonly remembered only as a land war in Europe.

Krivdo, B.A., Texas A&M University; M.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Joseph G. Dawson, III This dissertation provides analysis on several areas of study related to the history of the United States Marine Corps in the Civil War Era. One element scrutinizes the efforts of Commandant Archibald Henderson to transform the Corps into a more nimble and professional organization. Henderson's initiatives are placed within the framework of the several fundamental changes that the U.S. Navy was undergoing as it worked to experiment with, acquire, and incorporate new naval technologies into its own operational concept.

  • 190701-Laying the Keel Update
    LAYING THE KEEL MAY 2019 THE SAILOR'S CREED I AM A UNITED STATES SAILOR. I WILL SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND I WILL OBEY THE ORDERS OF THOSE APPOINTED OVER ME. I REPRESENT THE FIGHTING SPIRIT OF THE NAVY AND THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE ME TO DEFEND FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY AROUND THE WORLD. I PROUDLY SERVE MY COUNTRY'S NAVY COMBAT TEAM WITH HONOR, COURAGE AND COMMITMENT. I AM COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE AND THE FAIR TREATMENT OF ALL. INTRODUCTION As our Navy grows and evolves to protect America's interests in a fast paced, more complex and increasingly competitive environment, more will be expected and demanded from its Enlisted Leaders at all levels. Today, we are the strongest Navy in the world by any measure – we have the most capable ships, the best equipment, and more importantly the finest Sailors. Petty Officers have been demonstrating technical competence and devotion to duty in our Navy since 1775. Just as our capital assets, procedures, policies and technology have evolved over the course of our history, so has the process to develop effective leadership qualities that address the challenges our Sailors face. Our Sailors today are recognized worldwide in their distinct ability to overcome adversity, courageously face challenges and accomplish our Navy's mission as the world's most well trained and combat ready force. The Navy the Nation Needs will require our Enlisted Leaders to be continuously flexible, more innovative and confident in achieving operational excellence in tougher and more challenging environments. As our Sailors operate on all domains, from the sea floor to space, their daily duties, mission and challenges are unique.

  • Long Cycles: a Bridge Between Past and Futures Professor Adrian Pop, Ph.D. Lecturer Răzvan Grigoras, Ph.D
    6th International Conference on Future-Oriented Technology Analysis (FTA) – Future in the Making Brussels, 4-5 June 2018 Long Cycles: A Bridge between Past and Futures Professor Adrian Pop, Ph.D. National University of Political Science and Public Administration, Bucharest, e-mail: [email protected] Lecturer R ăzvan Grigoras, Ph.D. National Defence University “Carol I”, Bucharest, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Developing an anti-fragile behaviour by enhancing foresight capacity is a mandatory asset in the risk society. Cycles of continuity and change are preferred topics in the fields of history, economics, and international relations. Although centred on the past, the long cycles theory in general, and George Modelski's model in particular, might offer valuable insights into probable futures that might be involved in the planning practice of international actors. By identifying recurring historical patterns, one could extrapolate future developments. However, the key assumption of the paper is that possible novel developments are bound to be influenced by a series of drivers, both trends and wild cards. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the predictive capacity of the long cycle theory by using future study methodologies. The present paper attempts to suggest some ways for doing that in a two-step progressive method. The first step is to identify the most important drivers that could trigger deviations from the extrapolation of historical patterns identified by the long cycles theory and to quantify the expected shifts in the distribution power by using four indexes: the Foreign Bilateral Influence Capacity (FBIC) Index, the Global Power Index (GPI), the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and the State of the Future Index (SOFI).

  • DOD Is Beefing up Operations at Andersen Air Force Base and Throughout the Marianas
    ccess is the name of the game for security in the Pacific. For airmen, this access hinges on Guam. Guam is an American pos- session—US soil. While there are many other desirable bas- Aing locations in the western Pacific, Guam—nearly 220 square miles of sov- ereign American territory about 3,900 miles west of Hawaii—is the only one where basing rights will never be an issue. Andersen Air Force Base, at the north- ern tip of the island, is a historic instal- lation. The main runway is famous for its dip in the center, an ocean cliff at the end, and its white color—radiating from crushed coral mixed in the concrete. Andersen hosted US combat aircraft in World War II and throughout the Vietnam War and the Cold War. For the last 10 years, USAF has been increasing its presence on Guam. So has the Navy, which homeports submarines there, and plans call for some Marine Corps aviation and ground units from Okinawa to move to a new home on the island. The strategic importance of Guam extends to other territories in the Marianas island chain such as Tinian and Saipan. President Obama’s Asia-Pacific rebal- ance leans heavily on Guam for access, transient staging, and presence. “What many people do not realize is that it sits at the tip of the spear for the defense of our nation and is woven into the strategic fabric of the Pacific theater,” noted Rep. Solomon Ortiz (D- Tex.) in 2009. The Guam Hub Before airpower, the Northern Mari- anas were the site of Spanish imperial stopovers and Japanese occupation.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.
