Book excerpt: Shock and Awe: Achieving Rapid Dominance. US Battle Tactics of the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Written By Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade. Modern warfare. Iraq War. Shock and Awe (technically known as rapid dominance) is a military doctrine based on the use of overwhelming power, dominant battlefield awareness, dominant maneuvers, and spectacular displays of force to paralyze an adversary's perception of the battlefield and destroy its will to fight. The doctrine was written by Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade in 1996 and is a product of the National Defense University of the United States. Rapid dominance is defined by its authors, Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade, as attempting; "to affect the will, perception, and understanding of the adversary to fight or respond to our strategic policy ends through imposing a regime of Shock and Awe." Further, rapid dominance will; "impose this overwhelming level of Shock and Awe against an adversary on an immediate or sufficiently timely basis to paralyze its will to carry on . . . [to] seize control of the environment and paralyze or so overload an adversary's perceptions and understanding of events that the enemy would be incapable of resistance at the tactical and strategic levels

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Shock and Awe—Achieving Rapid Dominance' by Harlan Ullman and James P. Wade is a thought-provoking exploration of alternative concepts for structuring mission capability packages (MCPs) that could help configure future U.S. military forces. Written at the turn of the 21st century, the authors argue that the winds of change are blowing as never before, driven by a radically altered geopolitical situation, an evolving information-oriented society, advancing technology, and budgetary constraints, and that our nation's ability to shape the future and defend against 21st century threats hinges on our response to these challenges. The book examines the idea of affecting the adversary's will, perception, and understanding through shock and awe, which is achieved by controlling the operational environment, affecting the adversary's will beyond the boundaries traditionally defined by military capability alone, and integrating far more broadly strategy, technology, and innovation. A must-read for anyone interested in learning more about U.S. military strategy and history.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to explore alternative concepts for structuring mission capability packages (MCP's) around which future U.S. military forces might be configured. From the very outset of this study group's deliberations, we agreed that the most useful contribution we could make would be to attempt to reach beyond what we saw as the current and commendable efforts, largely but not entirely, within the Department of Defense to define concepts for strategy, doctrine, operations, and force structure to deal with a highly uncertain future. In approaching this endeavor, we fully recognized the inherent and actual limits and difficulties in attempting to reach beyond what may prove to be the full extent of our grasp. It is, of course, clear that U.S. military forces are currently the most capable in the world and are likely to remain so for a long time to come. Why then, many will ask, should we examine and even propose major excursions and changes if the country occupies this position of military superiority? For reasons noted in this paper, we believe that excursions are important if only to confirm the validity of current defense approaches. There are several overreaching realties that have led us to this conclusion. First, while everyone recognizes that the Cold War has ended, no one has yet been able to describe or predict what this means for more precisely defining the nature of our future security needs. Despite this absence of both clairvoyance and a galvanizing external danger, the United States has become refreshingly open in examining new strategic options and choices. The variety of conceptual efforts underway in the Pentagon to deal with this uncertainty exemplifies this reality.

Book excerpt: There is nothing new in the notion of using force to affect an adversary’s will or in relying on ‘shock and awe’ to achieve the requisite objectives. What is new, an in the authors’ judgement, what is the fundamental challenge in this endeavour, is transforming the intent to influence will and perception into actual capability for creating shock and awe. This, in turn, means using these requirements of Rapid Dominance as the principal determinants for developing the military doctrine, tactics, capabilities and perception. That is the challenge this Whitehall Paper poses. -- Publisher description.

Book excerpt: From one of the twelve founding members of Delta Force, a collection of commentary on the future of war. In Beyond Shock and Awe, media commentator Eric Haney—a founding member of Delta Force and author of Inside Delta Force—along with other noted military analysts and award-nominated editor Brian M. Thomsen, examines how our military must evolve to face changing times, technology, and adversaries. From limited wars to possible large scale invasions of Syria or Iran—or a major military stand-down with North Korea—Beyond Shock and Awe is a fresh, provocative peek at America’s army of the future. Contributors include: • Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade Jr. which first used the term “shock and awe” • Kevin Dockery on the weapons of future wars • Professor William Forstchen on how precision guided weaponry will eliminate “problem” individuals before they can start a war • Eugene Sullivan on such legal issues as preemptive attacks and military tribunals • Paul A. Thomsen on integrating military intelligence into strategic warfare • John Helfers on the importance of cultural knowledge in winning wars and building alliances • Eric Haney on the many ways in which Rapid Dominance of an adversary can be gained through Shock and Awe.

Book excerpt: Examines the U.S. Marines’ visual culture of combat in the Iraq War. American military power in the War on Terror has increasingly depended on the capacity to see the enemy. The act of seeing—enhanced by electronic and digital technologies—has separated shooter from target, eliminating risk of bodily harm to the remote warrior, while YouTube videos eroticize pulling the trigger and video games blur the line between simulated play and fighting. Light It Up examines the visual culture of the early twenty-first century military. Focusing on the Marine Corps, which played a critical part in the invasion and occupation of Iraq, John Pettegrew argues that U.S. military force in the Iraq War was projected through an “optics of combat.” Powerful military technology developed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars has placed war in a new posthuman era. Pettegrew’s interviews with marines, as well as his analysis of first-person shooter videogames and combat footage, lead to startling insights into the militarization of popular digital culture. An essential study for readers interested in modern warfare, policy makers, and historians of technology, war, and visual and military culture.
