Conflict Analysis of the Cold War and Potential Problems for the Joint Force

Abstract

The following readings are subcategorized into two different articles discussing a conflict analysis between two superpowers and a potential problem or problems the Joint force may encounter within developing future operating concepts. - Article 1: Back to the Cold War Future: Takes an analytical look into whether or not the Cold War did end in 1991 or if it is still an ongoing event. This analysis, conducted via an anecdote, utilizes the Back to the Future storyline while analyzing different eras of the conflict itself as well as the current year of 2018. - Article 2: Are Two Concepts Ready for One Fight? This article discusses two strategies, Rapid Raptor and Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations, being developed by two different services, the USAF and the Marines. As these strategies develop, potential obstacles could hinder future operations, which drive a few questions that need addressing. Furthermore, understanding these obstacles should help determine whether or not these concepts are ready for employment within the Joint fight.
