    Operation HUSKY

    Operation HUSKY was ultimately an Allied victory that met its objectives, but its planning and execution highlighted significant deficiencies in command and control and integration of Allied forces. Senior commanders, primarily General Eisenhower and British General Alexander, failed to adequately provide their staffs and subordinate commanders with clear intent, nor did they fully exploit the combined ground, air, and naval capabilities available to them. This essay identifies the shortcomings in Allied planning and execution in relation to mission command and the integration of joint functions during HUSKY. These shortcomings were not so grave as to bring about defeat, but they do provide vivid examples of faulty planning and execution when…

    Operation Active Endeavour Case Study

    NATO’s two most spectacular antiterrorism operations to date have been Operation Eagle Assist, and Operation Active Endeavour, both of which were among NATO’s first actions following the 9/11 attacks in the US. They are fundamental examples of NATO’s antiterrorism strategy in action. Eagle Assist, which was operated from October 2001 to May 2002, gave direct surveillance support to the US by deploying seven AWACS aircraft over American soil. In all, 830 NATO crew members representing 13 member nations participated in the operation which flew over 360 expeditions over the US. Since Operation Eagle Assist, NATO’s AWACS squadrons have participated in protection actions, by providing airborne control and surveillance for events…

    Summary Of Why Has America Stopped Winning Wars By Dominic Tierney

    In his article “Why Has America Stopped Winning Wars,” Dominic Tierney incorrectly asserts that the United States is in a period of unwinnable wars and that, as such, the United States should plan for battlefield failure and “losing the right way. ”1 He uses multiple fallacies to build his argument, including appeals to emotion, appeals to questionable authority, explaining by naming, and searching for a perfect solution. This leads to the conclusion that the US position as a superpower is a weakness in terms of military engagement. This shortsighted position fails to encompass a holistic view that military engagements do not have to rise to the level of total victory to contribute to overall strategy.…

    Case Study Operation Anaconda

    “First, technology overconfidence, particularly among high-ranking commanders and staff, deludes American forces into believing they can dissolve the fog of war. Second, there is an insistence, reinforced by information technology, for high-ranking commanders to try to impose their will on very distant battles. Third and finally, there is a continued American compartmentalization of operations, nothing in planning and execution. At any given point of Anaconda, a tragic situation could have been avoided if one headquarters had shared information with another” (Czarnecki, 2005, pg.…

    Issues that pose risk to missions are: “providing sufficient enabling capabilities, building partnership capacity, and securing DoD systems in cyberspace.” In example, an ally or partner’s lack of ability or willingness to support common goals may present an operational risk. When it comes to cyberspace, a failure to secure systems would pose a major risk to operations, personnel, and mission accomplishment. In such cases operational risk may be mitigated through the development of bilateral and multilateral capacity to improve interoperability to protect common interests through security cooperation, agreements, and…

    and Japanese navies in the north-central Pacific Ocean resulted from Japan’s desire to sink the American aircraft carriers that had escaped destruction at Pearl Harbor.” Bombing, and killing 2,500 American citizens wasn’t enough for the Japanese Navy; they decided to come back for round two (The Battle). Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku commanded the Japanese fleet and chose Midway to draw out American fleet (Prados, 2009). Unfortunately for the Japanese an American Intelligence solved the Japanese Fleet Codes, known as ‘purple’ (Prados, 2009).

    Airpower Development

    After airpower’s contribution during the First World War and its impact on the stalemate that had developed, some people recognized its great potential, and began to envision its use in future conflicts. These theorists, or visionaries, began to think how to develop further airpower, and how it could be best used in the future warfare. During the interwar years, their prophecies and predictions not only shaped airpower development, but influenced tactics and strategies during the Second World War. In other words, the use of allied airpower in the Second World War represented the ultimate fulfillment of the predictions and prophecies put forward during the interwar years. In order to successfully and efficiently use airpower, and ultimately…

In fact, UW often serves as the focus for training, planning, and discussion within every aspect of the SF community. Most debates involving UW turn into an analysis of defining Unconventional Warfare and trying to figure out how to fit current SF operations into that definition. Special Forces prides itself on owning UW and serving as the Department of Defense’s subject matter experts on operating by, with, and through an indigenous force. The debate over Special Force’s ownership of this domain should not rely solely on the training, funding, or even doctrine that validates UW as a SF core task.…

    Technology: The Impact Of Advanced Technology On The Military

    “ By the 20th century, military organizations confronted the problem of not only adapting to technological changes in peace time, but also the fact that war itself has inevitably turned up the speed of technological change”. The first Gulf War constitutes a turning point in the history of modern conflicts essentially because of the integration of technology into all levels of military operations. War was always been a declaration of hostility between two opposing groups clashed over a battlefield in a duel with the ultimate aim to impose its will on the other.

    Advantages And Disadvantages Of Allied World War II Strategy

    The formulation of Allied World War II strategy was an evolutionary process. It began with Admiral Stark’s “Plan Dog” memorandum providing the early outline for Allied strategy and ended with a unified Anglo-American-Russian plan for victory. British and American leadership discovered the advantages and disadvantages of coalition operations as they struggled to identify a unified grand strategy during numerous meetings during the war. The Germany First strategy that was solidified at the Arcadia Conference ensured Allied survival and the Tehran Conference produced a unified strategy that achieved victory. Britain’s Sun Tzu approach was prevalent early in the war when means were limited and they were the dominate partner.…
