Mrozek's research sheds considerable light on how the use of air power evolved in the Vietnam War. Much more than simply retelling events, Mrozek analyzes how history, politics, technology, and the complexity of the war drove the application of air power in a long and divisive struggle . Mrozek delves into a wealth of original documentation, and his scholarship is impeccable . His analysis is thorough and balanced. His conclusions are well reasoned but will trouble those who have never seriously considered how the application of air power is influenced by factors far beyond the battlefield. Whether or not the reader agrees with Mrozek, the quality of his research and analysis makes his conclusions impossible to ignore . JOHN C . FRYER, JR. Brigadier General, USAF Commander Center for Aerospace Doctrine, Research, and Education THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr Donald J. Mrozek Donald J. Mrozek is Professor of History at Kansas State University, where he has taught since 1972 . He earned both his MA and PhD degrees at Rutgers University, and his dissertation study on defense policy during the presidency of Harry Truman yielded articles in publications such as Military Affairs and The Business History Review . Later research in wartime and postwar defense issues resulted in articles in such journals as the Annals of Iowa and Missouri Historical Review. In 1980, his article "The Croatan Incident: The US Navy and the Problem of Racial Discrimination after World War II" appeared in Military Affairs. Also in 1980, he co-edited The Martin Marauder and the Franklin Allens: A Wartime Love Story, with Robin Higham and Jeanne Louise Allen Newell . With his colleague Robin Higham, he has also co-edited A Guide to the Sources of U.S. Military History, including the 1981 and 1986 supplementary volumes. Dr Mrozek has also engaged in research, published, and taught American culture. Some of his publications have fused the areas of military and cultural history . In 1980, his essay "The Cult and Ritual of Toughness in Cold War America" appeared in Ray Browne, ed ., Rituals and Ceremonies in Popular Culture . In 1984, "The Interplay of Metaphor and Practice in the US Defense Department's Use of Sport" was published in the Journal ofAmerican Culture, and in 1985, "Sport and the American Military: Diversion and Duty" appeared in.

  • US Army Was Already Upset About Its Losses from Deep Personnel and White House Photo Via National Archives Budget Cuts When Gen
    National Park Service photo by Abbie Rowe By John T. Correll US Army was already upset about its losses from deep personnel and White House photo via National Archives budget cuts when Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor arrived as the new Chief of Defense Technical Information Center photo Staff in June 1955. Army strength was down by almost a third since the Korean War and the Army share of the budget was dropping steadily. These reductions were the result of the “New Look” defense program, introduced in 1953 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the “Massive Retaliation” strategy that went with it. New Look was focused on the threat of Soviet military power, putting greater reliance on strategic airpower and nuclear weapons and less emphasis on the kind of wars the Army fought. US planning was based on the standard of general war; the limited conflict in Korea was regarded as an aberration. If for some reason another small or limited war had to be fought, the US armed forces, organized and equipped for general war, would handle it as a “lesser included contingency.” New Look—so called because Eisenhower had ordered a “new fresh survey of our military capabilities”—was driven by the belief that adequate security was possible at lower cost, especially if general purpose forces overseas were thinned out. Another factor was the recognition that NATO could not match the con- ventional forces of the Soviet Union, which had 175 divisions—30 of them in Europe—and 6,000 aircraft based forward. So in 1952, the US and its allies had adopted a strategy centered on a nuclear response to attack.

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.

  • Reconsidering Division Cavalry Squadrons
    Reconsidering Division Cavalry Squadrons Part II: 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, in Vietnam by MAJ Nathan Jennings (Editor’s note: This is the second in a four-part series that describes the problem, history and potential solutions for the U.S. Army’s lack of dedicated division-level ground reconnaissance and security capacity.) Cavalry forces specialize in security efforts designed to protect their higher headquarters’ operations. This tactical task, along with reconnaissance, has endured since antiquity as a primary function of mounted scouts due to their inherent operational reach. For divisions wielding a panoply of maneuver and enabling assets, the requirement for dedicated formations to safeguard and facilitate an increasingly complex order of battle remains a critical function in the 21st Century. As outlined in Division Operations, such scouting elements “provide early and accurate warning” to “provide the force” with “time and maneuver space within which to react to the enemy and to develop the situation.”1 Typical security tasks, as defined by modern U.S. Army doctrine, typically center on observing, reporting and, if need be, neutralizing enemy reconnaissance or blunting adversary incursions during offensive, defensive and stability operations. They may include conducting screen, guard and cover missions where arrayed units provide early warning and fight to allow time and space for higher headquarters to deploy main force battalions and brigades. These operations may also include distributed area security efforts to protect

  • The United States Atomic Army, 1956-1960 Dissertation
    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

  • A COUNTRY at WAR the ORIGIN, EVOLUTION, and FUTURE of CIVIL-MILITARY RELATIONS in the UNITED STATES by Joseph Luis Harper Viñas
    A COUNTRY AT WAR THE ORIGIN, EVOLUTION, AND FUTURE OF CIVIL-MILITARY RELATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES by Joseph Luis Harper Viñas A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland December 2018 © 2018 Joseph Luis Harper Viñas All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to study the erosion of civil-military relations in the United States in order to determine whether it affects national security. The overall construct is regarding civil-military relations, not only between civilian and military government officials, but also those relationships with the citizenry in the United States. In order to study this, civil-military relations will be looked at through three different lenses. First of all, it is important to learn about the origins of civil-military relations in the United States and what the Founding Fathers thought of these relations. In order to do this, a look at the separation of powers between the Executive and Legislative branches of government will be examined, as well as what the Founding Fathers felt regarding having a standing army in the United States during times of peace. The second point regarding these relations will be studied by looking at the evolution of civil-military relations with regards to the civil-military gap. Accession numbers provided by the Department of Defense will be analyzed in order to determine if the US military is representative of its citizens. Accession numbers from the post-Vietnam all volunteer force up until recent times will be used.
