Adaptability of Land Forces to 21st Century Security Challenges
"Transforming a nation's military to face 21st century challenges requires recognition of the need for change and then taking action to accomplish that change. Neither component of this two-step process is easy, but adapting the national military culture and equipping the force for full spectrum operations is the hardest part. With this in mind, the 2008 Land Forces Symposium brought together Army commanders or their representatives from 23 countries within the U.S. Central Command region to discuss the Adaptability of Land Forces to 21st Century Security Challenges. Co-hosted by General George W. Casey, Jr., Chief of Staff, U.S. Army, and Lieutenant General James J. Lovelace, Commander, U.S. Army Central, the 2008 Land Forces Symposium (LFS) was conducted April 14-17, 2008, in Stone Mountain, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta. This was an opportunity for Army commanders to meet and collaborate on mutual security concerns. The LFS fosters security cooperation by providing a forum for regional exchange of views, cultural understanding, and the establishment and enhancement of personal relationships. To stimulate these exchanges delegates participated in a series of panels addressing 'Sub-regional and Regional Cooperation,' 'Transitioning from War to Peace,' and 'Military Support to National Security and Stability.' These topics were framed within the context of globalization. Each panel opened with a discussion that looked at the issue at large followed by regional presenters focused on national or sub-regional applications."

Talking the Talk: Why Warfighters Don't Understand Information Operations
"The value of information as a military enabler has always been a factor in warfare. But the rapid evolution of the information environment has caused information to rise in importance to where it is effectively used by adversaries as an asymmetric weapon of choice. The improvised explosive device may be a tactical kinetic weapon, but it is, more importantly, a strategic information weapon when the detonator is paired with a videographer. In an attempt to both counter this information-savvy enemy, as well as exploit that same environment to achieve military objectives, the United States military has struggled to establish definitions and doctrine concurrent with applying those nascent concepts in combat. The result is a developmental process that has muddied the waters outside the very narrow subset of military service members and academicians who claim some form of 'information' as their primary specialty; ironic, given the communications and marketing expertise espoused by some of those very same practitioners. A review of current military and U.S. government information-related lexicon and definitions points out a very obvious flaw: this stuff is confusing…and in some cases, self-defeating. It's time for a doctrinal pause to allow a clean slate review of information operations, strategic communication and, yes, cyberspace operations. Such a review may find that simpler is better."

Setting the Scene for a Discussion of DoD's Role in Responding to Catastrophe
This report is part of chapter one of five chapters in the series: Threats at Our Threshold: Homeland Defense and Homeland Security in the New Century: A Compilation of the Proceedings of the First Annual Homeland Defense and Homeland Security Conference. The following is taken from the introduction of the report: "The intellectual development of homeland security is beginning to move outside the beltway and Washington D.C., past the issue of training firemen and other first responders, and into the realm of academia. We are finally beginning to engage the intelligencia of the United States, within the university system. This is going to change the nature of the debate, because these experts in research and teaching have things to say that you might not want to hear about what constitutes homeland security, and what we should or should not be doing. This leads to a second point. I want to suggest to you a narrative -- how to think about homeland security. I am certainly moved by 9/11. Many of my students are moved by 9/11. But my faculty, by and large, is not. It does not do me any good to begin with a slide that talks about 9/11. I have quit talking about the global war on terrorism. Many people in the Unites States are not moved by that argument. In fact, there is a certain counter or backfire building against this argument as to why we are at war and isn't it in fact our own fault. So, I use a different narrative to explain our situation. I offer it to every audience because I think it is important that we have a common understanding of what we are doing and why. My first point is that the current problems of homeland security have nothing to do with whether or not there are Arab fundamentalist here and whether or not we are facing Islamic radicalism. It has everything to do with the maturity of technology so that small people now have access to big weapons."

Finding the Enemy Within: Towards a Framework for Domestic Intelligence
This report is chapter four of five chapters in the series: Threats at Our Threshold: Homeland Defense and Homeland Security in the New Century: A Compilation of the Proceedings of the First Annual Homeland Defense and Homeland Security Conference. The following is taken from the introduction of the report: "Of all the issues that we have wrestled with since 9/11, perhaps none has received more consideration or attention in discussions on homeland security than the acknowledged shortcomings of intelligence--in collection, analysis, and sharing--prior to the September 2001 attacks. In the United States, intelligence collection is split between agencies that look outside of our borders (e.g., the military, the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA]) and those that look inward (the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI]). And while there has been significant attention paid to the reorganization, revitalization and resourcing of our foreign intelligence services, far less attention has been paid to the domestic side of the equation. There is, however, a clear new need and many new activities emerging to bolster intelligence capabilities to support post-9/11 homeland security/defense missions. And yet the increase in domestic intelligence (DI) collection has moved forward with little public discussion, no apparent framework, and little oversight. This raises the prospect of an emerging domestic intelligence 'system' where all the pieces don't fit together, pieces are missing or redundant, and there is no framework for protecting individual liberties. To address DI responsibly requires answering fundamental questions about what agencies should be responsible for collecting intelligence within the United States; what types of domestic information the government should collect, and how it should be used; and how the government needs to coordinate and oversee the process to assure effectiveness and protection of civil liberties."

DoD and the Problem of Mega-Catastrophes
This report is part of chapter one of five chapters in the series: Threats at Our Threshold: Homeland Defense and Homeland Security in the New Century: A Compilation of the Proceedings of the First Annual Homeland Defense and Homeland Security Conference. The following is taken from the introduction of the report: "The organizers of this conference made a strange choice in selecting me to advance the argument that the Department of Defense (DoD) ought to take the lead role in responding to catastrophes. For the overwhelming majority of incidents that may confront the U.S. response system in the future, I believe that the current, civilian-led system is structurally sound (and in many respects, ideal). The same civilian-led system also provides the best framework for building the sort of response system necessary for what I will call 'normal catastrophes' --that is, catastrophes on the scale of Hurricane Katrina. But the United States should plan for the unlikely possibility that a catastrophe of a vastly larger scale may strike. In such a 'mega-catastrophe,' DoD will face unwanted but ineluctable pressures to temporarily assume the lead of U.S. response operations. That is not a particularly desirable thing. Still worse, however, is the prospect that DoD would take the lead without having planned for the challenges it will confront, including the imperative to return leadership responsibilities to civilian officials as rapidly and effectively as possible. My argument is built around a typology of very bad events, ordered in terms of their destructiveness: 1) major disasters (as defined in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act); 2) normal catastrophes (as defined by the National Response Plan and its Catastrophic Incident Annex); and 3) mega-catastrophes, which differ qualitatively from normal catastrophes in ways that will require a different architecture for the response system, and a different role for DoD."

Reporters on the Ground: The Military and the Media's Experience During Operation Iraqi Freedom
During the planning for Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) the Department of Defense (DoD) developed an embedded media program that planned for large numbers of embedded reporters throughout military units. Unlike Vietnam in the 1970s, this program resulted in television reporting from within Iraq, especially from those reporters embedded with front lines units, almost instantaneously. The speed that these reports made it on the air often outpaced the military's communication channels. Although it gave the American citizens an immediate close up report of what their armed forces were doing, it handicapped media analysts and stateside reporters in their ability to put the raw reporting from the field into a larger context. Conversely those TV journalists supplying these spectacular reports and engrossing pictures from the front line were also handicapped in that they were reporting in a vacuum, unable themselves to obtain any kind of perspective or context.

Landpower and Dual Containment: Rethinking America's Policy in the Gulf
The author of this study contends that America's Dual Containment policy has failed. He outlines in what way he thinks that it has, and suggests alternative polices, which he believes might prove successful, and which would not destablize the Gulf--the risk that (in the author's view) we are now running. By a combination of economic sanctions and more forcible methods, America has sought, through Dual Containment, to make Iran and Iraq amend behavior that the United States believes it cannot tolerate. In the case of Iraq, America finds actions of the leadership so abhorent that nothing less than a complete regime change is demanded. The United States wants Iran to give up its alleged support for terrorism.

Streamlining National Security Workshop: The Overseas Group (September 5-7, 2001)
This paper presents the preliminary findings and identifies some critical issues raised by The Overseas Working Group during the Workshop on Streamlining National Security 5 to 7 September 2001. Sixty subject matter experts gathered to discuss and explore concepts for restructuring certain areas within existing national security organizations. Over the past decade, even as the international security environment under went significant change, U.S. national security organizations remained relatively unchanged. After his election, President Bush directed his national security team to undertake a sweeping review of future strategies and their supporting structures. That still on-going review is intended to identify what changes may be required to ensure that the numerous and varied organizations, structures, and processes associated with the creation and execution of U.S. national security policies and procedures are effective, efficient, and affordable.

In the Dark: Military Planning for a Catastrophic Critical Infrastructure Event: A Workshop to Explore the Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Preparedness with Respect to an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack or a Solar Storm
"This workshop addressed the preparation, response, and recovery from a catastrophic event. An event may be considered catastrophic when the number of people affected is greater than that normally covered by a typical federal response area and the time to recover was well beyond that of a localized disaster. Also, catastrophic events involve almost complete disruption of communications and other critical infrastructure (such as the electrical power grid). A spectrum chart (Figure 1) helps to illustrate the factors and scope of emergency events that may require the response of organizations at the local, state, and federal levels. The vertical axis of the diagram represents the number of people affected and the horizontal axis represents the time to recover from a given event. Some examples are weather events (such as floods and hurricanes); geological events (such as earthquakes or tsunamis); and biological events (such as an influenza outbreak). This report contains four main sections and two annexes. Section 1, Workshop Overview and Objectives; Section 2, Plenary Session Presentation Discussions; Section 3, Break-out Session Findings; and Section 4, Workshop Conclusions and Recommendations. Annex A contains selected questions and answers from the plenary session, and Annex B a list of workshop attendees."

Reexamining the Role of the Guard and Reserves in Support to Civilian Authorities: Assessing the Evolving Relationship of the National Guard Bureau with Other Department of Defense Organizations in Responding to Crises
"With the publication of its new charter, the NGB [National Guard Bureau] has been empowered with greater access, greater representation, and greater responsibility. Commensurate with all three, however, is a clear necessity for greater coordination between the Bureau and the states' National Guard, in order to provide for a rapid, integrated response in times of crises. For large-scale domestic incidents, the NGB's integrated planning with and through the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, and USNORTHCOM [United States Northern Command] should help in providing a streamlined integration of federal assets when and where they are needed most. Planning should take place far ahead of the requirement, followed by comprehensive programming and budgeting to ensure an effective integration of capabilities between all stakeholders. Finally, the Bureau, as a component of the military's support to civilian authorities, must work to exercise these concepts, to ensure that the envisioned ways and means designed to meet domestic response requirements are, indeed, sufficient to the task."

Creating the Future: Visioning, Alignment and Change in the Serbian Armed Forces
"In 1939, when he became the U.S. Army's 15th Chief of Staff, General George C. Marshall realized that he was operating on a different level as he prepared the Army for possible entry into World War II. He was now a strategic leader and strategic leadership was different. In guiding the evolution of the poorly equipped 174,000 man Army of 1939 to the 8.3 million man well-led, modern Army of 1945; General Marshall demonstrated the three critical skills of a strategic leader: the ability to create the future by providing the vision for long-term focus; managing the intricate processes necessary for change; and, building the teams and consensus required to accomplish the desired endstate. Today, in the States of the former Yugoslavia, national security teams are wrestling with the challenges of parallel political and military transformations. With the dissolution of the Yugoslav National Army (JNA), military leadership and planning skills were dispersed among six sovereign entities. As a group, these countries have opted to align their futures with the West and the European Community. Whether NATO members, candidate members, or Partnership for Peace (PfP) participants, they have actively sought assistance with strategic planning and professional military education."

Bullets and Blogs: New Media and the Warfighter
"For the U.S. military, new media and the Global Information Environment (GIE) present sustained challenges and opportunities. In recent years, new adversaries -- armed with new media capabilities and an information-led warfighting strategy -- have proven themselves capable of stopping the most powerful militaries in the world. The current and future geo-strategic environment requires preparation for a battlespace in which symbolic informational wins may precipitate strategic effects equivalent to, or greater than, lethal operations. It demands a paradigm shift away from an emphasis on information control and towards information engagement. It will require cultural and organizational change within the Department of Defense (DOD) as it adapts to the world of digital natives -- its own savvy Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines and their communicative expectations, proclivities, potential and risk; as well as its current and over-the-horizon opponents. Most of all, it will force the sustained adaptation and transformation of the way the U.S. military thinks and fights."
