First Edition
Wraps. Presumed first edition/first printing. v, [1], 27, [3] p. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "Army transformation has many dimensions with change in technology, operational methods, and organizations. So far, the focus of organizational transformation has been on the redesign of tactical units such as the interim brigade combat teams. But corps--the Army's operational level organizations--must also be transformed. D. ROBERT WORLEY national security analysis career has included positions with the RAND Corporation, the Institute for Defense Analyses, and the Center for Emerging Threats and Opportunities at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies. His analytic activities have been concentrated in higher echelon command and control but include wargaming, training, and experimentation at the national command, allied command Europe, unified command, and joint task force levels. Dr. Worley earned a PhD in Engineering and an Engineer Degree from UCLA and a Master of Arts in National Security Studies from Georgetown University. Good. Cover has some wear and soiling.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In Shaping U.S. Military Forces, D. Robert Worley assesses military force changes that have been made since the Cold War, explains the many changes that have not been made, and recommends changes that must be madeas well as exploring the ways in which political and military forces line up to resist them.For over forty years there was consensus about maintaining large U.S. military forces. Today, as evidenced by the steady decline in defense spending since 1985, that consensus has evaporated, and a new equilibrium is being sought. Yet evidence of transformation is modest. By outward appearances, today's military is principally a smaller version of our Cold War forces, despite the fact that threat, missions, and strategies have changed.There has been no lack of reform effort at the highest levels of the defense bureaucracy. Under the leadership of General Colin Powell, the Joint Chiefs of Staff reexamined the roles and missions of the services. Recommendations followed. But, according to observers, change occurred only at the margins. Worley argues that the highly institutionalized cultures of the uniformed services offer the best explanation for why the American military is not a different force well over a decade after the fall of the Berlin Wall.Significant historical events, primarily from World War II forward, are used to explain belief systems within the individual services and sometimes within specific branches within a single service. Force planners commonly measure military end strength in terms of divisions, wings, and battle groups. Therefore, Worley examines the most important organizational structuresarmored and infantry divisions, fighter and bomber wings, and carrier battle groupsand does so in the context of conflicts, including Vietnam, the Gulf War, Panama, Kosovo, and Somalia, and of course the unfinished conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. He highlights problems associated with the clash of service conceptions of war and the requirements of real conflict to examine the shape U.S. military forces haveand the shape they should assume. Includes the important organisational structures - armoured and infantry divisions, fighter and bomber wings, and carrier battle groups - in the context of modern conflicts, including Vietnam, the Gulf War, operations in Panama, Kosovo, and Somalia, and the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
