Educating Leaders for the Future.
Abstract
An analysis of the War with Iraq produces striking parallels between the course of events of that conflict, and the elements of the Naval College curriculum. The paper reviews the development of political objectives into clearly defined politics in support of National Security, and the translation of those objectives into clearly defined political objectives through the application of operational art. The issues, concepts, principles, and conduct of the war with Iraq closely reflect the areas and the methodology of study in the Naval War College. The course enables the student to understand the contribution military power makes to national power, and how to integrate political, economic, and military power. From the initial formulation of methods of response through the difficulties of war termination, the war is an exciting model of the type of environment for which the college is preparing students.
