Wills June 2012 © 2012 Steven T. Wills. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Navy and Marine Corps Opposition to the Goldwtaer Nichols Act of 1986 by STEVEN T. WILLS has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Ingo Traushweizer Assistant Professor of History Howard Dewald Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT WILLS, STEVEN T., M.A., June 2012, History Navy and Marine Corps Opposition to the Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986 Director of Thesis: Ingo Traushweizer The Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986 was the most comprehensive defense reorganization legislation in a generation. It has governed the way the United States has organized, planned, and conducted military operations for the last twenty five years. It passed the Senate and House of Representatives with margins of victory reserved for birthday and holiday resolutions. It is praised throughout the U.S. defense establishment as a universal good. Despite this, it engendered a strong opposition movement organized primarily by Navy Secretary John F. Lehman but also included members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, prominent Senators and Congressman, and President Reagan's Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger. This essay will examine the forty year background of defense reform movements leading to the Goldwater Nichols Act, the fight from 1982 to 1986 by supporters and opponents of the proposed legislation and its twenty-five year legacy that may not be as positive as the claims made by the Department of Defense suggest.

  • Diaries of James V. Forrestal, 1944-1949
    Diaries of James V. Forrestal, 1944-1949 DIARIES OF JAMES V FORRESTAL, 1944-1949 Complete and unexpurgated diaries from the Seeley G Mudd Manuscript Library, Princeton University Contents listing PUBLISHER'S NOTE EDITORIAL INTRODUCTION TECHNICAL NOTE CONTENTS OF REELS Diaries of James V. Forrestal, 1944-1949 Publisher's Note “The full version of the Forrestal Diaries is a wonderful source - extraordinarily rich, and far more revealing than the edited version that was published in 1951.” Professor Marc Trachtenberg Department of Political Science, UCLA This microfilm project makes available for the first time the complete and unexpurgated version of Forrestal’s manuscript and typescript diaries covering the period March 1944 to March 1949. While the printed edition, The Forrestal Diaries, edited by Walter Millis with the collaboration of E. S. Duffield in 1951, runs to some 555 pages plus index, there are nearly 3000 pages of diary entries, mostly in typescript format which we are now able to reproduce in full. Who was Forrestal and why was he important ? As Secretary of the Navy, 1944-1947, and first Secretary of Defense, 1947- 1949, he had significant access to the President and was part of a State Department team with crucial responsibilities for running the war effort, ensuring a successful outcome for the Allies and, moreover, with a key role in considering and shaping the peace, reconstruction policies and the structure of the post-war world. Forrestal’s background was of a businessman of considerable wealth, power, and position. In 1938 he had succeeded Clarence Dillon as President of Dillon Read. An efficient operator with a quietly driving ambition, he had risen relatively early to the top aged forty-six.

Introduction to "National Security" The National Security Act of 1947* and its successors drew the blueprint of the Cold War domestic political order. This regime centralized control of the military services-the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and a newly separate Air Force-in a single executive branch department. It created a new professional organization to collect and analyze foreign intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency. And at the center of this new national security apparatus, a National Security Council would eventually establish foreign policy by coordinating intelligence and directing military and para-military forces, as well as supervising a National Security Resources Board.

  • Purpose and Contribution in Editing Naval Documents: a General Appreciation
    Purpose and Contribution in Editing Naval Documents: A General Appreciation From Naval History and Maritime Strategy: Collected Essays John B. Hattendorf Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime Strategy Naval War College Krieger Publishing Company Malabar, Florida 2000 Electronically published by American Naval Records Society Bolton Landing, New York 2012 REPRODUCED ON THIS WEBSITE BY PERMISSION OF KRIEGER PUBLISHING COMPANY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 6 Purpose and Contribution in Editing Naval Documents: A General Appreciation There is no question that the standards and reputation of naval history, as a field of academic enquiry, need improvement. One im· portant way to do this is to improve the available source material and to point the way toward critical appreciation of naval docu· ments. Well·edited volumes of naval papers can do this. They can smooth the way for general readers and for beginning students; they can improve the available source materials for popular writers: and they can provide a selection of key source materials which constitute the basis of new interpretations. Documentary publications are par· ticularly important for naval history, a field which depends equally upon personal insights from private papers as well as on the release and interpretative analysis of official, government documents. The editing and publication of historical documents has been a widespread feature in many countries and in many languages, but the publication of naval documents has become largely an Anglo. American tradition. Historians working in French, Dutch, and Span· ish language materials have made important contributions, but their effort has not been sustained over so long a period or so large a body of published documents.
