This study is a gap analysis comparing current Joint Force Air Base Opening (ABO) capabilities with those assessed as necessary for effective ABO operations in an Anti-Access/Area-Denial environment. The research focuses on gaps in current doctrine, command relationships, command and control, force structure of ABO forces, posture, training for ABO forces, and acquisition for ABO capabilities. The author does not delve into specific solutions for each of the assessed gaps. The focus is on...

For the first 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the United States and its allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) planned, postured, and engaged in Europe on the assumption that Russia was militarily capable of harming NATO and its European partners but did not intend to do so. Despite occasional tensions in relations between Washington and Moscow, Russia was widely assumed to be on a trajectory toward closer integration and more-peaceful relations with Europe, the...

China's rise and the strategic uncertainty about its future intentions have compelled countries in Southeast Asia, such as Indonesia and Thailand, to adopt hedging strategies to deal with China's rise. Since 2012, with China's foreign policy shifting toward a more proactive and assertive policy posture, Indonesia and Thailand have exhibited divergent hedging responses: Indonesia has shifted toward the balancing end of the hedging spectrum while Thailand has shifted toward the bandwagoning end....

Human body modeling efforts for the purpose of Soldier protection need to address the current threats as well as have a vision for the future. Modeling the human body is a challenging endeavor due to its geometric complexity, numerous interacting layers, rich anisotropy, and wide variability. Developing a model for predictive injury capability, therefore, needs to be versatile and flexible to address different levels of modeling complexity. The vision presented here surrounds a flexible mixand-...

Following the end of the Cold War, the United States became the world's sole superpower. With this status came an unchecked and impressive global force posture. While the United States dramatically cut the number of personnel in Western Europe, it remains fully engaged throughout the world and has personnel deployed or stationed in over 150 countries. These personnel and facilities ostensibly exist to help the U.S. support its vital national interests. While the United States wished to draw...

From small countries perspectives, the four general defensive postures conventional military build-ups, WMD acquisition, alliance formation, and neutrality are not always viable choices, and are often unaffordable. So these countries must seek more effective and less expensive solutions.

Since the airplane was employed over the battlefields of World War I, Airmen have stood for and pioneered new and innovative ways to shape the fight and reinvent the battle itself.

When the Poincare map associated with a periodic orbit of a hybrid dynamical system has constant-rank iterates, we demonstrate the existence of a constant-dimensional invariant subsystem near the orbit which attracts all nearby trajectories in finite time. This result shows that the long-term behavior of a hybrid model with a large number of degrees-of-freedom may be governed by a low-dimensional smooth dynamical system. The appearance of such simplified models enables the translation of...
