The Department of Defense has announced a number of initiatives that are a part of its rebalancing toward Asia, while, at the same time, main- taining a significant presence in Southwest Asia, even as U.S. forces are drawn down in Afghanistan. As these plans move forward, it is impor- tant to recognize that America’s overseas military presence, as it cur- rently exists in terms of scope and scale, is largely a legacy of the Cold War and that, over the past two centuries, the United States repeat- edly adjusted its posture in response to the emergence of new types of threats, technological innovations, and the availability of overseas bases. Understanding past U.S. postures, what they looked like, why they were implemented, and why they changed can provide important insights for policymakers as they look to modify today’s global defense posture in the coming years. This monograph is a product of the RAND Project AIR FORCE (PAF) continuing program of self-initiated research. Support for this research was provided by the research and development provisions of PAF’s contract with the U.S. Air Force. The study described in this report was administered by the Strategy and Doctrine Program within PAF. This research should be of interest to officials in the services, combatant commands, and the Department of Defense, as well as to those in the broader defense policy community. iii iv U.S. Global Defense Posture, 1783–2011 RAND Project AIR FORCE RAND Project AIR FORCE (PAF), a division of the RAND Corpo- ration, is the U.S. Air Force’s federally funded research and develop- ment center for studies and analyses. PAF provides the Air Force with independent analyses of policy alternatives affecting the development, employment, combat readiness, and support of current and future air, space, and cyber forces. Research is conducted in four programs: Force Modernization and Employment; Manpower, Personnel, and Train- ing; Resource Management; and Strategy and Doctrine.

  • A General Model of Illicit Market Suppression A
    ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government. By David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Washington, DC September 15, 2014 Copyright 2014 by David Joseph Blair. All Rights Reserved. The views expressed in this dissertation do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. ii ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF TRANSNATIONAL ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Thesis Advisor: Daniel L. Byman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This model predicts progress in transnational illicit market suppression campaigns by comparing the relative efficiency and support of the suppression regime vis-à-vis the targeted illicit market. Focusing on competitive adaptive processes, this ‘Boxer’ model theorizes that these campaigns proceed cyclically, with the illicit market expressing itself through a clandestine business model, and the suppression regime attempting to identify and disrupt this model. Success in disruption causes the illicit network to ‘reboot’ and repeat the cycle. If the suppression network is quick enough to continually impose these ‘rebooting’ costs on the illicit network, and robust enough to endure long enough to reshape the path dependencies that underwrite the illicit market, it will prevail. Two scripts put this model into practice. The organizational script uses two variables, efficiency and support, to predict organizational evolution in response to competitive pressures.

  • De Eerste Dagen Met Eric in Seghe Honiara, 15 Mei
    De eerste dagen met Eric in Seghe Honiara, 15 mei Een week na het vertrek van James en Sachiko in Seghe komt Eric aan boord. Het gat in de romp is gedicht en op de dag van zijn aankomst kan ik de laatste laag primer aanbrengen. Het plan de campagne is om in vijf weken naar Honiara te zeilen maar duiken en fotograferen komt op de eerste plaats! Eric heeft een prachtige nieuwe Sony Alpha 7R2 camera in bruikleen gekregen en die moet aan de tand worden gevoeld. Geen betere plek dan dat aan boord van de 'ALK' te doen waar Eric en ik, ondanks de ruimtebeperkingen van een zeilboot, ondertussen wel weten hoe en waar we op mooie plekken kunnen komen. Het P38 vliegtuig uit WWII dat in Seghe aan het eind van de landingsbaan is gezonken in 8m diep water, is een mooi begin. Drie mijl ten oosten van Seghe, aan de zuidkant van New Georgia Island, ligt een wir war aan eilandjes waar we een speciale duik maken. We maken kennis met Aldio die hier op zijn eigen kleine eilandje woont. Een kunstenaar die zijn kunstwerken op papier drukt dat hij zelf maakt. Mooi om zijn werk te zien en Jimmy kan de verleiding niet weerstaan om een mooie print te kopen. Aldio vaart ons in zijn bootje door uitgestrekte mangroven en zoutwatermeren tot we in een kloof aankomen. Hier beginnen we aan onze duik. Onder een grote boom zakken we af naar 20m en zwemmen dan op ons gemak door een kloof naar de buitenkant van het rif.

  • Thursday 19Th February 1942 by Dennis J Weatherall JP TM AFAITT(L) LSM – Volunteer Researcher
    OCCASIONAL PAPER 74 Call the Hands Issue No. 39 March 2020 World War 2 Arrived on the Australian Mainland: Thursday 19th February 1942 By Dennis J Weatherall JP TM AFAITT(L) LSM – Volunteer Researcher Dennis Weatherall attended the recent 78th Anniversary of the Bombing of Darwin, also known as the “Battle of Darwin”, by Japanese Imperial Forces on Thursday 19th February 1942. The air raid siren sounded at exactly 09:58 - war had arrived in Australia. He asks why more Australians don’t know about the continuous attacks that started on that day and continued until 12th November 1943 - some 21 months. In this paper Dennis provides and overview of the attacks and naval losses in more detail. Darwin, has changed much since my last visit some 38 years ago and it is dramatically different to the Darwin of 1942 which bore the brunt of the first ever attack by a foreign power on Australian soil. Why didn’t we know they were coming? Was our intelligence so bad or were we too complacent in 1942? The Government of the day had anticipated the Japanese would push south but “when” was the big question. Evacuations of civilians had already started by February 1942. On the morning of the fateful day there were many ships, both Naval and Merchant men, in the Port of Darwin along with a QANTAS flying boat “Camilla” and three Consolidated PBY Catalina flying boats of the USN, when 188 Japanese aircraft of various types, 36 Zero fighters, 71 dive bombers and 81 medium attack bombers commenced their first raid.

  • Kajian Pelestarian Cagar Budaya Bawah Air Studi Kasus Tinggalan Pesawat Di Perairan Lae-Lae Kota Makassar Muhammad Tang
    Kajian Pelestarian Cagar Budaya Bawah Air Studi Kasus Tinggalan Pesawat di Perairan Lae-Lae Kota Makassar Muhammad Tang Sisa-Sisa Perang Dunia II di Selat Makassar Saat terjadinya Perang Dunia II, posisi Makassar cukup strategis karena terletak di tengah-tengah Nusantara. Pada saat pendudukan Jepang di Makassar, dibuatlah titik-titik pertahanan seperti bunker di sekitar Mandai. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengamankan fasilitas vital berupa bandara, landasan pesawat dan lingkungan sekitar bandara tersebut di Mandai. Kemudian pada wilayah pedalaman, juga dibuat bunker-bunker dengan tujuan untuk menguasai sumber-sumber hasil bumi seperti di jalur Enrekang-Toraja. Penguasaan Jepang bukan hanya di daratan, namun juga di lautan. Di sebelah barat kota Makassar, terdapat beberapa kapal perang Angkatan laut Jepang dengan tugas sebagai penjaga wilayah laut untuk mengamankan koloni Jepang di Makassar. Bukti dari keterlibatan kapal-kapal Jepang di Selat Makassar saat berkecamuknya Perang Dunia II adalah keberadaan bangkai kapal Jepang “Nikko Maru” di dekat pulau Samalona. Berdasarkan riwayat sejarahnya, kapal Nikko Maru tersebut merupakan kapal kargo bertenaga mesin uap berdimensi 100.9 x 14.3 x 7.9 meter. Pada tanggal 1 Juli 1944, kapal kargo Nikko Maru karam akibat menghantam ranjau laut yang kemungkinan dipasang oleh Kapal Selam Kingfish (SS-324) pada tanggal 10 Oktober 1943 (Jan Lettens, 04/12/2009 di www.wrecksite.eu).

  • An Interview with Lincoln Dews We Caught up with Him Just Before the SUP National Titles for an Interview
    LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER W HAT’S NEW AT Blade? The answer is a lot - and a lot of the same, a lot of new. ‘A lot of new’ means a shift in focus, and ‘a lot of the same’ means sticking to the formula of being the one to deliver the best stories, information, and imagery when it comes to paddling in Australia. The biggest change, however, is that we will only produce a limited print edition for home and retailer delivery. The reason we are doing this, we’re making aggressive moves to become a more relevant digital-first title. Though it’s easy to throw around a term like ‘digital-first,’ ask yourself one important question: How are you reading this story right now? If it’s on a phone, you are probably digesting content a lot like I do. For better or worse, smartphones and social media have woven their time into the fabric of our lives. BLADE’s audience has changed accordingly. For every six viewers of BLADE content across our channels, there is only a single print viewer. This does not mean we are abandoning print. It means that because our audience now is so large and so vastly skewed toward digital, we are scaling print back accordingly. If there’s continued interest from our advertisers and readers in print, we’ll continue to produce a single annual that we hope will reside on your coffee table from January through the summer paddling season. I look forward to seeing you out on the water.

    A MARINE'S DIARY OF WORLD WAR II SOLOMON ISLANDS, TULAGI, GUADALCANAL, TARAWA, SAIPAN, GUAM by ROBERT L. KEVAN, PFC., U.S. MARINE CORPS "Well, it is about September 13, 2004 on a Monday, and my daughter wanted me to record some things that happened back sixty some years ago. I will try my best. Buhl, Idaho I was born January 14, 1923 on a small farm in Buhl, Idaho to Charles W. Kevan and Martha Katharine Nicholson Kevan. I had five brothers, Wayne, Bill, Jim, Dick, and Ron, and one sister, Fern. When the United States declared war against Japan because of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, I enlisted with the Marines to fight for my country. San Diego, California Anyhow, I was in the National Guard for a while before I joined the Marine Corps. I joined the Marine Corps on January 6, 1942, Third Battalion, 10th Regiment, 2nd Division. I went down to San Diego on the train for boot camp. I was immediately put in the hospital for a hernia. So I spent some time in the hospital and, lucky me, I missed the boot camp. So when I got out of the hospital I went directly aboard ship approximately June 1, 1942. USS PRESIDENT HAYES Tonga We left port on the USS President Hayes on July 1, 1942. It was uneventful until we got to Tonga Tabu, and we got in a little storm so we had to anchor there for a while and let the storm go by, and then we continued on and on July 10, 1942, we crossed the equator.
