Our deepest sympathies go to his wife and his family. Dr Bossdorf joined Report Verlag in 2006, became its Publishing Director in 2007 and later was appointed Managing Direc- tor. In addition, he was Editor-in-Chief of the magazine "Strategie & Technik", which evolved from the traditional "Soldat und Technik" publication. As a result of the merger of Report Verlag with E.S. Mittler & Sohn publishing house, that created Mittler Report Verlag in 2012, the magazi- nes "Strategie & Technik" and "Europäische Sicherheit" were combined under his lea- dership to form the current "Europäische Sicherheit & Technik". At the same time, Dr Bossdorf was appointed Managing Director of Mittler Report Verlag, where he also played a decisive role in the development of the English-language magazine "Europe- an Security & Defence" from a quarterly magazine to an internationally recognised specialist monthly journal. One year ago, Dr Bossdorf also took over the management of K&K Medienverlag-Hardthöhe GmbH as Publisher of the magazine "Hardthöhen- kurier", so that he was most recently the highly valued Managing Director of two publishing houses as well as Editor-in-Chief of "European Security & Defence". In Peter Bossdorf we have lost a positive, open-minded, knowledgeable, well-respec- ted man; a good friend who was always attentive to and supportive of his colleagues and his many friends around the world.

Not all insurgents use Fearterror as a tactic, and some choose not to use it because other tactics work better for them in a particular context. Individuals, such as Timothy McVeigh, may also engage in terrorist acts such as the Oklahoma City bombing. If the terrorism is part of a broader insurgency, counter-terrorism may also form a part of a counter-insurgency doctrine, but political, economic, and other measures may focus more on the insurgency than the specific acts of terror.

Does the Army have a clear understanding of how it will employ its armoured vehicles in future operations? 2. Given the delays to its programmes, will the Army be able to field the Strike Brigades and an armoured division as envisaged by the 2015 SDSR? 3. How much has the Army spent on procuring armoured vehicles over the last 20 years? How many vehicles has it procured with this funding? 4. What other capabilities has the Army sacrificed in order to fund overruns in its core armoured vehicles programmes? 5. How flexible can the Army be in adapting its current armoured vehicle plans to the results of the Integrated Review? 6. By 2025 will the Army be able to match the potential threat posed by peer adversaries? 7. Is the Army still confident that the Warrior CSP can deliver an effective vehicle capability for the foreseeable future? 8. To what extent does poor contractor performance explain the delays to the Warrior and Ajax programmes? 9. Should the UK have a land vehicles industrial strategy, and if so what benefits would this bring? 10. What sovereign capability for the design and production of armoured vehicles does the UK retain? 11. Does it make sense to upgrade the Challenger 2 when newer, more capable vehicles may be available from our NATO allies? 12. What other key gaps are emerging within the Army’s armoured vehicle capability? 13.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction Dennis Blair The second volume of Military Engagement relates the stories of how democratic civil-military relations developed in five world regions and fourteen individual countries. This introduction pro- vides some background on those who authored these stories and describes the patterns observed and the lessons that can be drawn from them. The Authors The regional summaries were written by a team of coauthors, almost all having both practical experience in armed forces or defense ministries of their countries and subsequent careers with security think tanks. They also contributed ideas and criticisms of the analysis and recommendations in the companion volume. Juan Emilio Cheyre, while chief of staff of the Chilean army, took the final steps to bring his service out of the Pinochet era. Matthew Rhodes is a professor at the Marshall Center in Germany, an insti- tution at the center of military-military relations among countries around the world. Istvan Gyarmati, who participated in the early brainstorming sessions for the handbook, was deputy defense minister of Hungary during the Hungarian armed forces’ transi- tion from its Warsaw Pact organization to meet NATO standards. Muthiah Alagappa, a general in the Malaysian Army, has become the foremost scholar of Asian civil-military relations subsequent to 1 01-2478-0 ch1.indd 1 5/16/13 6:03 PM 2 Dennis Blair his retirement. Tannous Mouawad served as Lebanon’s military attaché to the United States and the chief of Lebanon’s military intelligence service. Martin Rupiya was an officer in the Zimbabwean National Army and now heads a security affairs think tank in South Africa Each of the regional coauthors recruited additional authors to write the indi- vidual case studies; two of them wrote a case study as well.
