MILITARY STRATEGY: THEORY AND CONCEPTS By Randall G. Bowdish A DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Major: Political Science Under the Supervision of Professor Ross A. Miller Lincoln, Nebraska June 2013 MILITARY STRATEGY: THEORY AND CONCEPTS Randall G. Bowdish, Ph.D. Univerity of Nebraska, 2013 Adviser: Ross A. Miller Military strategy was long described as atheoretical—an art that could only be fully comprehended by military genius. This contention is no longer held, as military staffs, comprised of experts and specialists, are able to formulate strategy aided by mini- theories of strategy and a process that takes advantage of collective wisdom rather than singular genius. But the mini-theories of strategy remain underdeveloped and an overarching theory of military strategy does not yet exist. In this dissertation I build a grand theory of military strategy, consisting of a simple two-pole, physical and psychologically oriented framework, mini-theories of military strategy, and additionally, concepts of employment that describe conceptual actions that can be employed by military means to achieve military objectives. Mini-theories of military strategy, consisting of the five basic military strategies of extermination, exhaustion, annihilation, intimidation and subversion, are woven together into a coherent military strategy theoretical framework. Additionally, I expose the principles of war as a myth, instead proffering concepts of employment as the actionable elements of strategy, which are used in the conceptual direction of military means to achieve military objectives in support and amplification of the five basic military strategies. The strategies offered are the result of a comprehensive meta-data analysis, hermeneutical analysis, and comparative meta- analysis of the works of past strategy theorists, rather than the case study methodology employed in most military strategy scholarship. This dissertation provides a baseline theory from which further military strategy hypotheses can be generated and tested in order to advance our understanding of military strategy. Copyright 2013 Randall G. Bowdish ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Ross A. Miller for his patience and sage counsel in the preparation of this dissertation. He was the perfect advisor for this old sea-dog (retired Navy Captain). Encouraging and demanding on the academic side, yet reverent and respectful towards my military experience, he treated me as a peer and not just another bothersome student. I would also like to thank my committee members, Dr. Nam Kyu Kim, Dr. Kevin Smith, and Dr. Peter Bleed, for their insightful comments and recommendations. Most of all, I thank my wife, *Kate, daughter Brittany, and son, Brandon, for their loving support. v Table of Contents CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION....................................................................................... 1 Purpose............................................................................................................................ 4 Limitations and Delimitations......................................................................................... 6 CHAPTER 2: RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY....................................... 7 Theory Building and the Philosophy of Science............................................................. 8 Concepts........................................................................................................................ 13 Meta-study .................................................................................................................... 16 Grounded Theory.......................................................................................................... 20 Research Design............................................................................................................ 23 Methodology................................................................................................................. 27 CHAPTER 3: THE MASTER STRATEGISTS............................................................... 33 Sun Tzu and The Art of War......................................................................................... 33 Ancient Chinese Military Classics and the Thirty-Six Stratagems............................... 40 CHAPTER 4: THE EARLY ANNIHILATORS .............................................................. 48 Carl von Clausewitz, On War ....................................................................................... 48 Baron De Jomini ........................................................................................................... 62 CHAPTER 5: THE EXHAUSTERS ................................................................................ 70 Frederick the Great ....................................................................................................... 70 Hans Delbrück .............................................................................................................. 76 CHAPTER 6: THE SUBVERTERS................................................................................. 80 Marx, Engels, and Lenin............................................................................................... 81 Mao Tse Tung and Protracted Popular War ................................................................. 88 Yuri Bezmenov and the KGB....................................................................................... 99 Conclusion .................................................................................................................. 102 CHAPTER 7: THE MODERN ANNIHILATORS ........................................................ 104 B.H.

BRENNER* This Article explains why and how computer technology complicates the related processes of identifying internal (crime and terrorism) and external (war) threats to social order of respondingto those threats. First, it divides the process-attribution-intotwo categories: what-attribution (what kind of attack is this?) and who-attribution (who is responsiblefor this attack?). Then, it analyzes, in detail, how and why our adversaries' use of computer technology blurs the distinctions between what is now cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and cyberwarfare. The Article goes on to analyze how and why computer technology and the blurring of these distinctions erode our ability to mount an effective response to threats of either type.

  • Axis Blitzkrieg: Warsaw and Battle of Britain
    Axis Blitzkrieg: Warsaw and Battle of Britain By Skyla Gabriel and Hannah Seidl Background on Axis Blitzkrieg ● A military strategy specifically designed to create disorganization in enemy forces by logical firepower and mobility of forces ● Limits civilian casualty and waste of fire power ● Developed in Germany 1918-1939 as a result of WW1 ● Used in Warsaw, Poland in 1939, then with eventually used in Belgium, the Netherlands, North Africa, and even against the Soviet Union Hitler’s Plan and “The Night Before” ● Due to the non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, once the Polish state was divided up, Hitler would colonize the territory and only allow the “superior race” to live there and would enslave the natives. ● On August 31, 1939 Hitler ordered Nazi S.S. troops,wearing Polish officer uniforms, to sneak into Poland. ● The troops did minor damage to buildings and equipment. ● Left dead concentration camp prisoners in Polish uniforms ● This was meant to mar the start of the Polish Invasion when the bodies were found in the morning by Polish officers Initial stages ● Initially, one of Hitler’s first acts after coming to power was to sign a nonaggression pact (January 1934) with Poland in order to avoid a French- Polish alliance before Germany could rearm. ● Through 1935- March 1939 Germany slowly gained more power through rearmament (agreed to by both France and Britain), Germany then gained back the Rhineland through militarization, annexation of Austria, and finally at the Munich Conference they were given the Sudetenland. ● Once Czechoslovakia was dismembered Britain and France responded by essentially backing Poland and Hitler responded by signing a non-aggression with the Soviet Union in the summer of 1939 ● The German-Soviet pact agreed Poland be split between the two powers, the new pact allowed Germany to attack Poland without fear of Soviet intervention The Attack ● On September 1st, 1939 Germany invaded Warsaw, Poland ● Schleswig-Holstein, a German Battleship at 4:45am began to fire on the Polish garrison in Westerplatte Fort, Danzig.

  • The Psychological Impact of Child Soldiering
    Chapter 14 The Psychological Impact of Child Soldiering Elisabeth Schauer and Thomas Elbert Abstract With almost 80% of the fighting forces composed of child soldiers, this is one characterization of the ‘new wars,’ which constitute the dominant form of violent conflict that has emerged only over the last few decades. The development of light weapons, such as automatic guns suitable for children, was an obvious pre- requisite for the involvement of children in modern conflicts that typically involve irregular forces, that target mostly civilians, and that are justified by identities, although the economic interests of foreign countries and exiled communities are usually the driving force. Motivations for child recruitment include children’s limited ability to assess risks, feelings of invulnerability, and shortsightedness. Child soldiers are more often killed or injured than adult soldiers on the front line. They are less costly for the respective group or organization than adult recruits, because they receive fewer resources, including less and smaller weapons and equipment. From a different per- spective, becoming a fighter may seem an attractive possibility for children and adolescents who are facing poverty, starvation, unemployment, and ethnic or polit- ical persecution. In our interviews, former child soldiers and commanders alike reported that children are more malleable and adaptable. Thus, they are easier to indoctrinate, as their moral development is not yet completed and they tend to listen to authorities without questioning them. Child soldiers are raised in an environment of severe violence, experience it, and subsequently often commit cruelties and atrocities of the worst kind. This repeated exposure to chronic and traumatic stress during development leaves the children with mental and related physical ill-health, notably PTSD and severe personality E.

  • The Quandary of Allied Logistics from D-Day to the Rhine
    THE QUANDARY OF ALLIED LOGISTICS FROM D-DAY TO THE RHINE By Parker Andrew Roberson November, 2018 Director: Dr. Wade G. Dudley Program in American History, Department of History This thesis analyzes the Allied campaign in Europe from the D-Day landings to the crossing of the Rhine to argue that, had American and British forces given the port of Antwerp priority over Operation Market Garden, the war may have ended sooner. This study analyzes the logistical system and the strategic decisions of the Allied forces in order to explore the possibility of a shortened European campaign. Three overall ideas are covered: logistics and the broad-front strategy, the importance of ports to military campaigns, and the consequences of the decisions of the Allied commanders at Antwerp. The analysis of these points will enforce the theory that, had Antwerp been given priority, the war in Europe may have ended sooner.
