technology and the “use inferior equipment to achieve victory over enemies with superior equipment [2]”. Wang believes that warfare has shifted from ground warfare to “even more in intangible space, such as in electromagnetic fields. [2]”, meaning that battles are no longer primarily fought with swords clashing together, but technologically. Communication is key in modern warfare and with the use of the “C4I systems (communications, guidance, control, computers, and intelligence) [2]”, one can…
What exactly meaning by PSYOP? It was a planned operations that convey selected information and indicators to foreign target audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately, the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. “All military action is intertwined with psychological forces and effects” by Carl von Clausewitz On War, 1827 The purpose of all PSYOP is to create in neutral, affable, or hostile foreign groups the…
the air component operationally, the allied command achieved pre-determined objectives. While the Axis Force was provided a small victory in their successful withdrawal of troops and equipment, it was mitigated by the Allied gains in training and battle experience. The cautious and conservative approach by Strategic Leaders was likely due in part to their pre-operation understanding of their challenges with mission command and joint…

I agree with LTG James Dubik's main premise that defensive strategies cannot win. No strategy can win unless fully aligned with the correct policy. In fact, both Clausewitz and Sun Tzu stated, “Strategy must match Policy." Current military doctrine properly emphasizes the importance of Strategy for senior military leaders. However, does anything guide senior policy makers on the importance of Policy and the adaptation speed required to keep pace with how war currently changes? In the US,…
Using a strength-based, ecological and multisystem perspective highlighted by Bogo (2006) to support military families with identifying services and programs that can be accessed promote resiliency and well-being. Eco-mapping and genograms can be utilized to identify strengths and community relations that are supporting resiliency. Kuehl (1995) was reported to say that “using a solution-oriented approach assists clients in assessing for risks and barriers while providing a clear lens for the…
The Gulf War and, to a lesser degree, the Kosovo air campaign demonstrated that advanced technologies have brought very significant changes to how war is waged. Intelligence sensors, precision navigation data and communications gave commanders unprecedented situational awareness. This situational awareness, coupled with precision-guided weapons, proved devastating. The major significance of these advanced technologies is not that they incrementally increase the capabilities of existing forces…

War. It is something we all hear about, but we fail to comprehend. It’s a violent practice that is wan, not by weapons, but by soldiers. There have been a great many wars in the history of the United States of America, and these loyal, hardworking and ageing soldiers have come to be called veterans. These veterans are memorable, worthy of our praise and contemplation. In our appreciation of their brave service, we recognize that war veterans are of a special group. When a war starts, many are…
I believe that SOF using F3EAD is better suited to the targeting process while deployed and in a current OPTEMPO. This is due to our composition, mission, and organic staffing process. It is not a better process than D3A, it is a different process that allows SOF to use their tactical level fusion of intelligence and operation to expedite their targeting process. Since SOFs composition and organization is different, our commanders trust this process to ODAs that are highly trained, mature, and…
