- Shock and Awe: Achieving Rapid Dominance By Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade, with L.A. "Bud" Edney, Fred M. Franks, Charles A. Horner, Jonathan T. Howe, and Keith Brendley NDU Press Book December 1996 -- The purpose of this paper is to explore alternative concepts for structuring mission capability packages (MCPs) around which future U. S. military forces might be configured. (...) The goal of Rapid Dominance will be to destroy or so confound the will to resist that an adversary will have no alternative except to accept our strategic aims and military objectives. To achieve this outcome, Rapid Dominance must control the operational environment and through that dominance, control what the adversary perceives, understands, and knows, as well as control or regulate what is not perceived, understood, or known.

- The Gulf War -- Lessons for Chinese Military S&T A report from U.S. Embassy Beijing November 1996 -- Science and Education for a Prosperous China addresses questions about the impact of science and technology on the combat readiness of the Chinese military. The report, summarized here, claims that the rapid and overwhelming victory of the U.S. - led forces in the Gulf War demonstrates how high technology has revolutionized modern warfare. Nations throughout the world are modernizing their military to gain political and economic advantages through intimidation. The new technology dictates new military strategies. Military forces of the future will be smaller and flatter in their command structure. Tanks and aircraft carriers, now highly vulnerable to missile attack, are becoming less important.

- Why the Russian Military Failed in Chechnya By MAJ Raymond C. Finch, III. Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. -- In the recent Russian military involvement in Chechnya (October 1994-September 1996), we saw a sloppy mixture of these two approaches. Russian tanks crossed into Chechnya in December 1994 to "establish constitutional order in Chechnya and to preserve the territorial integrity of Russia."3 This drastic step was the last in a series of increasingly forceful and largely unsuccessful attempts to remove Chechen President Dzhokar Dudayev from power, crush the Chechen claims of independence and impose the Russian Federation's political and economic control of this region. Tens of thousands of casualties later, with much of Chechnya in ruins, Russian forces were withdrawn from this region, having been largely humiliated in nearly two years of vicious fighting. This paper will examine some of the reasons behind the Russian decision to employ conventional military force against the Chechens and why their security establishment suffered a defeat.

- Wounded Bear: The Ongoing Russian Military Operation in Chechnya By MAJ Gregory J. Celestan U.S. Army August 1996 -- On December 11, 1994, units from the Russian Ground Forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs entered Chechnya to restore Russian sovereignty and to thwart the proclaimed independence of Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudayev. A year and a half later, despite their combat experience and numerical superiority, the Russian Armed Forces still have not crushed the Chechen fighters. The Russian military experience in Chechnya, however, is not unique. During the Cold War, the Soviet Army fought for nine years in Afghanistan without achieving military victory over the Mujahideen resistance. With the end of the Cold War, regional conflicts are becoming more common and other armies are finding themselves fighting local conflicts under similar circumstances. The Russian experience should serve as a lesson for all military organizations on the folly of committing inadequately-trained and equipped troops to battle. While this type of operation would have been difficult for any army, the Russian performance has been especially poor.1 Learning from the problems and mistakes of the Russian Armed Forces can help other militaries avoid these same pitfalls on a future battlefield.

- Army Digitization Master Plan '96 Army Digitization Office -- The Army Digitization Master Plan (ADMP) provides the roadmap for the introduction of digital information technologies as the Army transforms itself via the Force XXI process into a 21st Century force. The ADMP addresses strategies, responsibilities, requirements, architectures, acquisition, experimentation methodology, management processes, and coordination of digital battlespace issues in the Army, with the other Services, and within future coalition forces. This annual update of the ADMP establishes the overall strategy for achieving battlespace digitization and defines the migration plans of individual battlespace systems to the Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment (DII COE). The Plan also describes how the Army is working toward achieving interoperability with joint and combined forces.
