Luce Hall, which opened in 1982, was the Col- lege’s first purpose-built building. Spruance Hall (1972) and Conolly Hall (1974) are visible in the background. Founders Hall (previously the Newport Asylum for the Poor), in which the Col- lege was established in 1884, is out of the picture to the right; it houses today the Naval War College Museum, the Mari- time History Department, and the edito- rial offices of the Naval War College Press.

Renuart, Jr., USAF, and Captain Dane S. Egli, USCG The question before USNORTHCOM—and the nation—is how best to meet emerging operational requirements and resolve policy challenges so as to counter global maritime threats. We must leverage joint and interagency capabilities, build cooperation with international partners, and field capabilities that will increase the speed and efficiency of the collection, analysis, and sharing of maritime data and intelligence. Maritime Strategy “A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower” A View from Outside . 25 Geoffrey Till Many navies around the world are thinking through their own strategic conundrums in matching resources to commitments and so are watching with great interest how the U.S. Navy “squares this circle.” How will its strategic thinking develop? How will it structure the fleet? How will it operate? How should everyone else respond? Commercial Shipping and the Maritime Strategy . 39 Steve Carmel Commercial shippers have a fundamentally different perspective from that of naval officers on the maritime commons, and since their activities shape the environment in which maritime strategy operates, their worldview, needs, and capabilities are of critical interest. Implementing the Seapower Strategy. 47 Captain Wayne P. Hughes, Jr., U.S. Navy (Retired) The “Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower”—the new maritime strategy—is the result of a broadly based, collaborative effort, and it has great significance as a guide for the nation’s maritime operations. But what does it not say? What remains to be done? Published by U.S. Naval War College Digital Commons, 2008 7 2 NAVAL WAR COLLEGE REVIEW Naval War College Review, Vol. 61 [2008], No. 2, Art. 1 The New Maritime Strategy A Lost Opportunity . 61 William T. Pendley The new maritime strategy lists threats and catalogs core capabilities for maritime forces, but beyond that, unfortunately, it marks a lost opportunity to develop an effective and comprehensive military strategy for this New Era. The New Maritime Strategy The Rest of the Story . 69 Robert C. Rubel The Naval War College made a major contribution to the conceptualization and formulation of the new maritime strategy. The organizer of the College’s effort lays out some of the logic that governed its approach to the project and addresses from that perspective what the strategy’s purposes are, and are not. Asia Rising No Oil for the Lamps of China?. 79 Gabriel B. Collins and William S. Murray Chinese naval and strategic planners fear, and their Western counterparts seem to believe, that a maritime blockade could interrupt or significantly impede China’s energy supplies in a limited war. But probably it could not, and thinking it could is dangerous for everyone. The “Triangle of Death” Medical Sustainability in Expeditionary Sea-Based Operations . 97 Captain Arthur M. Smith, Medical Corps, U.S. Navy Reserve (Retired) Sea bases and the joint forces operating from them must be ready for numerous and severe casualties—and yet they will neither possess nor be close to sophisticated medical resources. Without timely delivery of care, the result is increased mortality and morbidity of combat casualties. How will the sick and combat wounded receive proper treatment? Research & Debate The Unvarnished Truth: The Debate on the Law of the Sea Convention . 119 Rear Admiral William L. Schachte, Jr., U.S. Navy (Retired) https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/nwc-review/vol61/iss2/1 8 CONTENTS 3 Naval War College: Full Spring 2008 Issue Review Essay Intellectual Thuggery . 129 The China Fantasy: How Our Leaders Explain Away Chinese Repression, by James Mann reviewed by Jan van Tol Book Reviews Chinese Naval Strategy in the 21st Century: The Turn to Mahan, by James R.

  • Roswell Hawks Lamson (1838–1903) by Andrew Haugen Roswell Hawks Lamson Came of Age During a Transformative Period in the Mid-Nineteenth Century
    Roswell Hawks Lamson (1838–1903) By Andrew Haugen Roswell Hawks Lamson came of age during a transformative period in the mid-nineteenth century. An emigrant on the Oregon Trail when he was a boy, he was the first U.S. Naval Academy cadet accepted from Oregon, a hero in the Civil War, and a U.S. District Court clerk. Because of his heroism and meritorious service in the U.S. Navy, three ships of the destroyer class were named in his honor in the early twentieth century. Lamson was born in Burlington, Iowa, on March 29, 1838, one of four children of Jeremiah Lamson, a prosperous farmer, and Helen Hawks. Two of Lamson’s maternal great uncles had been president of the College of New Jersey (present-day Princeton University), and his mother instilled in him a lifelong passion for learning. In 1847, nine-year-old Lamson and his family left Iowa and headed west on the Oregon Trail. They settled in the mid-Willamette Valley near the hamlet of Willamina, where the Provisional Government deeded 640 acres to Jeremiah and Helen Lamson. They eventually acquired 2,500 acres, and Jeremiah served multiple terms in the Oregon territorial legislature and four years as a Yamhill County Judge. The Lamson Homestead is on the National Register of Historic Places. The original Gothic-style house and large barn are one of the few surviving examples in the Willamette Valley from the time period. Roswell and his siblings attended the Oregon Institute in Salem (present-day Willamette University). Within a year of his graduation in 1854, he joined the Second Washington Volunteers and fought in the Indian Wars.

  • 2017 Progress Report
    Department of Defense Response to Executive Order 13287, “Preserve America,” Section 3: Reporting Progress on the Identification, Protection, and Use of Federal Historic Properties Includes Information on the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force fiscal years 2014-2016 October 2017 Defense Section 3 Report 2 Introduction This report satisfies the requirements of Section 3(c) of Executive Order (EO) 13287, “Preserve America,”1 for the Department of Defense (DoD). The Preserve America EO directs each Federal agency with real property management responsibilities to submit reports on its “progress in identifying, protecting, and using historic properties in its ownership.” The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) developed questions to assist Federal agencies in meeting the reporting requirements of the Preserve America EO. DoD’s consolidated answers to those questions posed by the ACHP includes information on the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force for fiscal years (FYs) 2014-2016.2 This report references policy and guidance documents from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the Military Departments. These documents provide the framework necessary to balance and integrate proactive management of cultural resources with all aspects of the military mission. This report also provides summary data on the DoD Cultural Resources Program. The DoD is a large and complex Federal agency with the critical mission to provide the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States.3 The DoD’s installations and facilities are critical pieces of this national defense mission. The DoD manages the largest portfolio of real property assets (structures and buildings), which includes historic properties, in the Federal government.
