Defence Policy And Military Strategy

World War One was not Canada’s fight. Great Britain had declared war on Germany, and because Canada was apart of the British Empire they were forced to join. Even though it was not Canada’s fight, they should be proud of their contributions to the war. Canada’s participation in World War One had more positive impacts than negative. Canada had become an independent nation, their economy had a massive boost, and women were one step further to become equal to men.

Despite the complexity of this environment and fiscal austerity, the JF25 must “protect our Nation and win our wars.” It must deter and defeat state adversaries, disrupt and defeat terrorist organizations, and strengthen the global network of allies and partners.” The prioritized capabilities required for Joint Force 2025 are linked to the imperatives of securing the homeland and maintaining strategic agility. This essay discusses general attributes of the JF, specific capability requirements by service, and the risk associated with focusing the rebalance on these two imperatives.

The United States military has never been as weak as it is under Barack Obama. In a time where the world is getting more dangerous every day, whether it is the growing threat of ISIS, Russia or North Korea, the current president insists on continuously making cuts to the military. According to an independent panel appointed by the pentagon and congress, “the shrinking U.S. armed forces, which are being downsized to fit that strategy and budget cuts, is a serious strategic misstep on the part of the United States and is inadequate given the future strategic and operational environment.” This essentially means that these cuts are weakening the military so much, that it will be ineffective to deal with global threats.

The development of the allied military strategy in World War II (WWII) presented challenges for the U.S. and Great Britain as they worked together to defeat the Axis powers. First, this paper will review the environment at the time of WWII when Admiral Stark penned the “Plan Dog” memorandum and MAJ Wedemeyer’s War Defense Team put together the “Victory Plan”. Next, it will look at the advantages and disadvantages of coalition operations with supporting examples. Then, a review of two major meetings between U.S. and Great Britain will identify what strategic decisions were made and the effects they have on the war. Finally, this paper will explore the foundations of strategy (Clausewitz and Sun Tzu) by which the allied forces used and

The quick evolving military environment, needs the US Army redouble its efforts to reduce the uncertainty associated with the downsizing. There are some predominant principles that can guide the Army’s efforts in minimizing the impact of uncertainty during the force reduction. Even with major political and legislative challenges, keeping balance among the different proportions of readiness is a goal of US defense policy. During the budgetary preparation, downsizing of the armed forces often becomes one of the first victims of fiscal reduction. This was true of the years between World War I and World War II, when the Great Depression made military preparedness a very low national priority. The Army’s downsizing effect put its readiness

For my book blog about The Labors of Hercules Beal, I chose to explain one example of figurative language and tell if it helps or hurts the storytelling. I chose the line “The sun shrugs over the edge of the globe, and the beams rush towards me through all that darkness of space, and they hit me full on, like the lights of a pickup truck that. forgets it.” (Schmidt, 5). This sentence uses a simile and some personification, but also foreshadows the reveal of what happened to Hercules’ parents.

The British armed forces are due to be significantly reduced in numbers by thousands of personnel by 2020.

The purpose of this paper is to compare the 1971 White Paper on Defence and the 2008 Canada First Defence Strategy. More specifically, this paper will compare the strategic environment, Canada’s greatest allies, the alliances Canada supported, and Canada’s security and defence priorities in the 1970s and under the Canada First Defence Strategy (CFDS). As this paper will demonstrate, the key differences witnessed in the 1971 White Paper on Defence and in the 2008 Canada First Defence Strategy is in terms of the specificities of the foreign and defence policy presented, the perceived types of threats to national and international security, and the Canadian Forces’ capability to respond to such major challenges. However, both the 1971 White Paper and the 2008 CFDS clearly demonstrate that the Canadian Forces are there first to defend Canada and Canadians, then to defend North America in cooperation with the United States, and finally to contribute to international security. Furthermore, both papers emphasize on the importance of defence policy in achieving foreign policy objectives.

The following paper aims to compare and contrast the main arguments regarding Austalian defence policy, through the relevance of geo-strategic location and gobalisation. It will appraise the three aforementioned options of defence policy, as presented by Paul Dibbs, Michael Evans, and Ross Babbage and will then

The Department of Defense networked systems are large. According to one article in the National Defense Magazine the total number is 15,000 (Erwin, 2013). With this amount of networks to defend, it is remarkable to not hear of more intrusions. However, though this argument is focused for those whom are echelons above the battalion and brigade level, network consolidation should be moved at a much faster pace. Currently there are over five separate networks being utilized by the Army alone. Each network is managed differently and by different security managers. Without proper communication, an attack on one network might go unnoticed by the security managers on other networks. Though convergence is underway, the 9th Mission Support Command took a slight step backwards when the command brought the Army Reserve Network online in 2015, after spending the past six years utilizing the United States Pacific Command’s network.

(Public Key Infrastructure Roadmap for the Department of Defense, Version 5.0, 18 Dec 2000, p.6) The overall IA posture was balanced on the DoD’s Defense in layering strategy allowing the use of multiple solutions of varying assurance levels in which to prevent or contain the consequence of a breach of security. The Defense in layering strategy coined Defense in Depth, consists of five layers: Defense of Computing Environments including the hosts, servers, applications, and operating systems used within DoD local area networks (LANs), Defense of Enclave Boundaries/External Connections at which DoD LANs connect to the wide area networks (WANs) by deploying boundary protection measures to control and monitor access to the internal LANs, Defense of Networks and Infrastructure, including the WANs that are used to interconnect DoD systems and those of its allies and business partners, to ensure the confidentiality of DoD communications and protection against Denial of Service attacks that could disrupt DoD’s ability to communicate prior to or during operational deployments, Attack Sensing, Warning, and Response to protect, analyze, and respond to unauthorized access, intrusions, and cyber attacks at local, regional, and national levels, and Key Management Infrastructure (KMI) services including key management for DoD traditional and more recently public key systems, as well as physical products such as codebooks and authenticators. A component of the KMI is Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), which consists of products and services, which provide and manage X. 509 certificates for public key cryptography. This paper

of his female characters and the term “womaniser” might have characterised him by virtue of his numerous relationships with women and the manner in which treated them as insinuate to not have stability or lasting satisfaction in his relationships. Hemingway had four wives Hadley Richardson, who shared the Paris years and one son; Pauline Pfeiffer, the mother of two more sons, who created a haven in Key West; Martha Gellhorn, a writer and acclaimed journalist; and Mary Welsh, a Time correspondent. Hemingway never recovers from the emotional damage inflicted by his mother, evident in his personal life and in the dysfunctional relationships in his short stories. He remains vigilant and is concerned that he will end up like his father and be controlled

As the future of warfare becomes more sophisticated, what will be the military technology of tomorrow? The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO, believes that there are three possible answers to that question: nuclear warfare, biological/chemical warfare, or cyber warfare. While nuclear and biological warfare is conducted on a battlefield, cyber warfare operates via the Internet and computers. All of these weapons have the same destructive potential, but the circumstances surrounding

For thousands of years warfare remained relatively unchanged. While the tactics and weapons have changed as new methods of combat evolved, men and women or their weapons still had to meet at the same time and place in order to attack, defend, surrender or conquer. However, the advent of the of the internet has created a new realm of combat in which armies can remotely conduct surveillance, reconnaissance, espionage, and attacks from an ambiguous and space-less digital environment. Both state and non-state actors have already embraced this new realm and utilized both legal and illegal means to further facilitate their interests. What complicates cyber security further is as states attempt to protect themselves from cyber-warfare, private

The branches of the military, for a couple generations, have always been the Army, Navy, Air force, Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard; however, in an ever evolving digital world, the notion that outer space would be the next military front is being rapidly replaced by the idea that cyber space will be the next arms race. The United States has been defending attacks on their infrastructure day after day, night after night, when one hacker on one side of the world sleeps, another takes their place to attempt to compromise the US government. The motives may range from a political ‘hacktivist’ trying to prove a point, to an economic spy, trying to gain a competitive edge on its more upstart rivals, to an attempt to control the United States
