The Evolving Nature of Warfare. Joint Center for Operational Analysis. Quarterly Bulletin, Volume 10, Issue 3, Fall 2008
Abstract
In this Journal we are presenting a series of articles that deal with the evolving nature of warfare. From information operations, strategic communications, command and control, and to a comparison of the lessons between US Marine Corps advisors in Nicaragua in 1927 and those in Iraq today, our goal is to show how 4th generation warfare and evolving technology have influenced the modern battlefield. Also presented here are two other articles of interest. The first discusses the steps the senior enlisted leaders are taking in the US Pacific Command area of responsibility to cement relationships and joint operations among the partner nations. Through interaction and cooperation, they are enhancing the capabilities for a strong defense. This is followed by an article dealing with the shortage of military chaplains and some innovative steps being taken to alleviate this problem. Of particular note is the conflict between Jewish law and military regulations and how this can be overcome to meet the spiritual needs of the soldiers. Again, the final portion is a listing and synopsis of the current products from JCOA studies that are available for review at JCOA's SIPRNET website. Additionally, JCOA's products are available on the Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS) website. The list of articles as shown in the table of contents follow: 4th Generation War on Terror Information Operations in South Asia: The 21st Century's "New Great Game" for the Modern Operator Strategic Communications; Guardsmen and Jundis: A Historical Comparison of the USMC's Experience of "Native Troops" in Nicaragua, 1927-33 and Iraq, 2004-2008; Command Senior Enlisted Leaders in Asia-Pacific Work to Strengthen US Joint Operations and Partner Nation Militaries; Marine Air Ground Task Force Command and Control and Joint Interoperability: A Portfolio Approach to Delivering Capability to the Warfighter; The Critical Shortage of Military Chaplains: One Possible Solution.
