Landpower: An Update

Mon, 11/18/2013 - 3:41pm

Many Thanks!

Since we announced Landpower (a website optimized to view from a smart phone, tablet, or computer; hosted by the United States Army War College) on Small Wars Journal we have seen an increase in visits and we say thank-you.

Updated Landpower Features

There are three key articles I would like to highlight for Small Wars Journal readers this week:

First: Strategic Landpower Task Force Research Report. Dr Steven Metz’s progress report of the ongoing actions of the Strategic Landpower Task Force (Amy, Marine and SoF) in Washington DC.

Second: Washington’s Debt, Beijing’s Bubble, and the Discussion No One is Having. Ian Button discusses US debt implications for China and Washington and where this may all be heading.

Third: State Collapse, Insurgency, and Counterinsurgency: Lessons from Somalia.  Somalia has been the prime example of a collapsed state. Dr J. Peter Pham examines the situation in order to draw out lessons from both failure and success of the counterinsurgency efforts in Somalia.

If you desire to send me feedback, it is always welcome: Scott.Forster@us.army.mil

I hope you enjoy and are informed by Landpower. I look forward to continuing the discourse.
