Department of the Army Historical Summary Fiscal Year 2000 by Canter of Canter of Military History United States Army,Canter of Military History United States Pdf
Entering scal year (FY) 2000 and still relying on the 1997 National Military Strategy, the United States Army planned, trained, and operated within the same fundamentally changed post-Cold War international environment that had characterized previous scal years. From the end of World War II to the collapse of Soviet power in 1989, the National Military Strategy had centered on the need for the United States and its allies to contain and deter Soviet expansionism through forward-based forces focused on global operations, potentially involving the wholesale use of nuclear weapons. After 1989, the nation faced a different and more complex strategic environment. Wars between ethnic factions, the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and the various means to deliver them, and an increase in the scope and frequency of international terrorism all characterized the new situation. As a result, the twentieth-century U.S. emphasis on ghting mid- and high-intensity wars gave way to near-continuous engagement in peacekeeping and nation-building work, among other low-intensity operations. At the same time, the requirement to address the Cold War spectrum of operations remained. The 1997 National Military Strategy had three main thrusts: shaping the international environment in ways favorable to the United States and its interests, responding effectively to threats and challenges to U.S. national interests, and anticipating and preparing to meet future threats to the United States. The U.S. Army had a vital role in each of them. The Army shaped the international environment largely through its various presence missions, such as peacekeeping operations, drug interdiction, and international training and military exchanges. The previous scal year had seen a daily average of approximately 109,000 personnel stationed abroad and 31,000 soldiers operationally deployed in over sixty countries. Overseas presence also helped the Army respond to threats and challenges to the United States. The National Military Strategy committed the Army, in common with the other U.S. armed services, to plan, train, and equip for two nearly simultaneous major theater wars. The reallocation of resources in post-Cold War budgets posed major challenges. Over the decade that preceded FY 1999, the Army's budget (in constant dollars) had declined by 38 percent and its active-duty strength by 36 percent. Nearly seven hundred installations had closed. Force structure had decreased from twenty-eight to eighteen divisions. Procurement, despite recent increases, still stood at 57 percent of the FY 1989 gure. At the same time, Army missions had increased by a factor of sixteen in the current international environment as soldiers were deployed to deal with crises in such distant lands as Kuwait, Albania, and Kosovo.
Kevlar Legions: The Transformation of the United States Army 1989-2005 by John Sloan Brown Pdf
This is the story of how the United States Army responded to the challenges of the end of the Cold War by transforming itself into the most capable ground force in the world today. It argues that from 1989 through 2005 the U.S. Army attempted, and largely achieved, a centrally directed and institutionally driven transformation relevant to ground warfare that exploited Information Age technology, adapted to post?Cold War strategic circumstances, and integrated into parallel Department of Defense efforts. The process not only modernized equipment, it also substantially altered doctrine, organization, training, administrative and logistical practices, and the service culture. Kevlar Legions further contends that the digitized expeditionary Army has withstood the test of combat, performing superbly with respect to deployment and high-end conventional combat and capably with respect to low-intensity conflict and the counterinsurgency challenges of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Evolution of U.S. Military Policy from the Constitution to the Present, Volume IV by M Wade Markel,Alexandra Evans,Miranda Priebe,Adam Givens,Jameson Karns,Gian Gentile Pdf
Tracing the evolution of the U.S. Army throughout American history, the authors of this four-volume series show that there is no such thing as a “traditional” U.S. military policy. Rather, the laws that authorize, empower, and govern the U.S. armed forces emerged from long-standing debates and a series of legislative compromises between 1903 and 1940. Volume IV traces how Total Force Policy has been implemented since 1970.
A Shot in the Dark: A History of the U.S. Army Asymmetric Warfare Group by Paul J. Cook Pdf
This book presents the U.S. Army Asymmetric Warfare Group (AWG) as an example of successful change by the Army in wartime. It argues that creating the AWG required senior leaders to create a vision differing from the Army’s self-conceptualization, change bureaucratic processes to turn the vision into an actual unit, and then place the new unit in the hands of uniquely qualified leaders to build and sustain it. In doing this, it considers the forces influencing change within the Army and argues the two most significant are its self-conceptualization and institutional bureaucracy. The work explores three major subject areas that provide historical context. The first is the Army’s institutional history from the early 1950s through 2001. This period begins with the Army seeking to validate its place in America’s national security strategy and ends with the Army trying to chart a path into the post-Cold War future. The Army’s history is largely one of asymmetric warfare. The work thus examines several campaigns that offered lessons for subsequent wars. Some lessons the Army took to heart, others it ignored. As the AWG was a direct outgrowth of the failures and frustrations the Army experienced in Afghanistan and Iraq, the book examines these campaigns and identifies the specific problems that led senior Army leaders to create the AWG. Finally, the work chronicles the AWG’s creation in 2006, growth, and re-assignment from the Army staff to a fully-fledged organization subordinate to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command in 2011 to its deactivation. This action resulted not from the unit’s failure to adapt to a post-insurgency Army focusing on modernization. Rather, it resulted from the Army failing to realize that while the AWG was a product of counterinsurgency, it provided the capability to support the Army during a period of great strategic and institutional uncertainty.
What connects political violence in Classical Athens and state terrorism in the Roman republic to the Easter Sunday attacks in Sri Lanka and the modern destruction of monuments? Using 9/11 as a lens through which to examine past instances of terrorism, this book presents a wide global view of the use of terror and its impact throughout history. Contributors are: Jaime A.

From the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 through the years immediately after the collapse of the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001, and within the administrations of George H. W. Bush, William J. Clinton, and George W. Bush, soldiers' lives underwent enormous changes. Without the benefit of national conscription, these professionals, nurtured on stories of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, experienced repetitive tours of duty in one combat zone after another to an extent the warriors of earlier eras could never have imagined. They fought every kind of war during this period; high-intensity mechanized war, air and heliborne raids, peace-keeping activities, urban combat, counter-insurgency operations, refugee support, and counter-narcotics operations. What makes the story of this era's soldiers all the more compelling is that these activities took place as the American military actually decreased its military strength during the period, leading to more and longer tours of duty. The book also includes a timeline to put dates and events in better perspective, a comprehensive, topically arranged bibliography, and a thorough index.
