ABSTRACT A commonly held view amongst strategists is that strategy leads logistics, and that military logistics, which is the science of sustainment and replenishment, is generally subordinate. The authors of this article contend that in fact the opposite is often true, that logistics frequently has primacy over strategy, and that it is the success or failure of logistics at lower levels of war which exerts the greater effect. The authors illustrate their arguments on this nexus between logistics and strategy, with examples from the current Russo-Ukrainian conflict highlighting how Russian logistic failures have contributed to failure of the strategic plan.
战略家们普遍持有的观点是,战略主导后勤,而军事后勤作为维持和补给的科学,通常是从属的。这篇文章的作者认为,事实恰恰相反,后勤往往比战略更重要,在较低层次的战争中,后勤的成功或失败产生更大的影响。作者阐述了他们关于物流与战略之间关系的论点,并以当前俄乌冲突为例,强调了俄罗斯物流失败是如何导致战略计划失败的。

ABSTRACT Over the last thirty years, suggestions for how to develop defence capability have developed rapidly. However, supporting theory and structured concept development lag behind. Despite this imbalance, countries need to continuously spend resources on defence development. This study identifies central challenges in relation to the scientific perspectives and approaches needed to support the development of defence capability. The results show that the support for developing interactions between technology and social components is especially weak and that relevant supporting theories and methods from related fields are not considered. This study also shows that it is important to be able to address these questions from various perspectives and not to be limited by a specific scientific tradition. Finally, this study also identifies a possible emerging cluster of reports on capability-related research that provide a base for a much-needed cross-disciplinary approach to the development of defence capability.
近三十年来,关于如何发展国防能力的建议发展迅速。然而,相关理论和结构化概念的发展相对滞后。尽管存在这种不平衡,但各国需要继续在国防发展上投入资源。本研究确定了与支持国防能力发展所需的科学观点和方法相关的核心挑战。研究结果表明,对发展技术与社会要素互动关系的支持尤其薄弱,相关领域的相关支持理论和方法未得到充分考虑。这项研究还表明,重要的是能够从不同的角度来解决这些问题,而不是被特定的科学传统所限制。最后,本研究还确定了一组可能出现的与能力相关的研究报告,为发展国防能力的急需的跨学科方法提供了基础。

Beyond the buzzwords: some thoughts on interoperability and military change challenges in Brazil 在这些流行语之外:关于互操作性和巴西军事变革挑战的一些想法

ABSTRACT Innovation spreads not only through new technologies but also through new processes and concepts populating international and security studies. Consequently, the popularity of these concepts, extensively diffused across defence documents worldwide, does not emerge alone. Difficulties in estimating how much of them became tacit knowledge and how successfully these new processes and concepts were adopted come as a plus. That scene depicts the diffusion of “interoperability,” quickly aggregated to the defence vocabulary but arguably translated into practice, particularly from an organisational standpoint. Provided that significant challenges lie ahead of regions where the debate still requires a more solid groundwork, this study addressed Brazil’s interoperability state of the art. We performed a qualitative analysis based on the very same referential used in the country’s latest CONOPS in this regard – Tolk’s Measures of Merit in Coalition Operations Model. By doing so, we aimed to establish a dialogue with the current perspective of the country whilst showing that neglecting the organisational aspects of interoperability poses practical consequences, undermining a complete translation of this central capability into practice. We argue that interoperability adoption stands for far more than its reproduction across the defence metier, comprising organisational change underpinned by reforms in civil-military relations..
创新不仅通过新技术传播,而且通过填充国际和安全研究的新过程和新概念传播。因此,这些概念在世界各地的国防文件中广泛传播,并不是单独出现的。很难估计其中有多少成为隐性知识,以及这些新过程和概念如何成功地被采用,这是一个加分项。这一场景描述了“互操作性”的扩散,迅速聚集到防御词汇中,但有争议地转化为实践,特别是从组织的角度来看。鉴于这些地区面临的重大挑战仍需要更坚实的基础,本研究解决了巴西的互操作性现状。在这方面,我们基于该国最新的CONOPS中使用的相同参考- Tolk的联合作战模型中的优点衡量标准进行了定性分析。通过这样做,我们的目标是与国家当前的观点建立对话,同时表明忽视互操作性的组织方面会产生实际后果,破坏了将这一核心能力完全转化为实践。我们认为,互操作性的采用远远超过其在国防部门的再生产,包括以军民关系改革为基础的组织变革。

ABSTRACT This article retraces and reconstructs the process of developing and launching the European Union’s Military Mobility project. Situated in the agenda-setting and policy-transfer literature, this article explicates the establishment and implementation of the Military Mobility project and helps to explain the entire policy and development process around the Military Mobility initiative to date. By drawing on process tracing, this article methodologically unpacks the process surrounding this policy development at the EU level. The results show that the European Commission has expanded its competences within the defence field by purposefully and politically acting upon the worsened security situation in and around Europe, while actively building coalitions and managing good working relations with the actors involved in the project. Moreover, the findings show that the EU services have learned from NATO in the defence domain. Thus, this analysis contributes to a greater understanding of the new role of the European Commission in the field of EU security and defence policy.
本文回顾和重构了欧盟军事机动项目的发展和启动过程。本文位于议程设置和政策转移文献中,阐述了军事流动性项目的建立和实施,并有助于解释迄今为止围绕军事流动性倡议的整个政策和发展过程。通过利用过程跟踪,本文从方法论上揭示了围绕欧盟层面的这一政策发展的过程。结果表明,欧洲委员会扩大了其在防务领域的能力,对欧洲内外恶化的安全局势采取了有目的和政治行动,同时积极建立联盟并与参与该项目的行动者管理良好的工作关系。此外,调查结果表明,欧盟军种在防务领域向北约学习。因此,这一分析有助于更好地理解欧洲委员会在欧盟安全和防务政策领域的新作用。

The impact of external support on coalition efficiency: the case of the G5 Sahel Joint Force 外部支持对联盟效率的影响:以萨赫勒五国联合部队为例
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-05-17 DOI: 10.1080/14702436.2023.2213637

ABSTRACT This article examines the extent to which external actors influence the efficiency of the G5 Sahel Joint Force’s (G5S-JF) chain of command and what this means for the relationship between the G5S-JF and external actors. I argue that external actors have taken leading roles within the G5S-JF’s chain of command and that this external influence has increased the efficiency of the joint force’s command. This suggests that the relationship between the G5S-JF and external actors follows the logic of hegemonic theory, with external actors providing efficiency and stability through a strong leading voice, as other scholars have previously assumed. However, I demonstrate that there are limitations to a hegemonic understanding of this relationship, as it does not take into account the agency of the joint force. In fact, as things have developed, the hegemonic stability logic rather appears to have been proven wrong as the strong leading role of external actors was a contributing factor to Mali’s withdrawal in May 2022 and the subsequent instability of the joint force.
本文考察了外部行为者对G5萨赫勒联合部队(G5S-JF)指挥链效率的影响程度,以及这对G5S-JF与外部行为者之间的关系意味着什么。我认为,外部行为者在G5S-JF的指挥系统中发挥了主导作用,这种外部影响提高了联合部队的指挥效率。这表明G5S-JF与外部行为体之间的关系遵循霸权理论的逻辑,正如其他学者之前所假设的那样,外部行为体通过强大的主导声音提供效率和稳定性。然而,我证明,对这种关系的霸权理解是有局限性的,因为它没有考虑到联合部队的机构。事实上,随着事态的发展,霸权稳定的逻辑似乎已经被证明是错误的,因为外部行为体的强大主导作用是马里于2022年5月撤军以及随后联合部队不稳定的一个因素。

India’s conventional strategy in a nuclear environment: a neglected link 印度在核环境下的传统战略:一个被忽视的环节

ABSTRACT Indian military strategy has tended to neglect the link between the conventional and nuclear domains in a nuclear weapons environment. We argue that this anomaly is evident in two broad areas: the conception of “war,” and the complexity produced by new technologies that span the two domains. First, we show with empirical evidence that “limited war” in a nuclear environment is misnomer: the reality is more appropriately called “marginal conflict” owing to its extremely restricted nature. It follows that strategic planning and posture must be tailored accordingly. We then highlight the risk of escalation produced by conventional technologies that carry potential cross-domain nuclear effects, noteably with respect to cyber, artificial intelligence, missile defence and space. We note that the complex strategic effects produced also complicate military-strategic interactions traversing geographic domains, noteably South, Southeast Asia, and Northeast Asia. The paper concludes with some reflections on the reasons for these lacunae in Indian strategic thinking and what might be done about them.
在核武器环境下,印度的军事战略倾向于忽视常规和核领域之间的联系。我们认为,这种反常现象在两个广泛的领域是明显的:“战争”的概念,以及跨越这两个领域的新技术所产生的复杂性。首先,我们用经验证据表明,核环境中的“有限战争”是用词不当的:由于其极其有限的性质,现实更恰当地称为“边际冲突”。因此,战略规划和姿态必须相应地调整。然后,我们强调了具有潜在跨域核效应的常规技术所带来的升级风险,特别是在网络、人工智能、导弹防御和太空方面。我们注意到,所产生的复杂战略影响也使跨越地理域的军事战略互动复杂化,特别是南亚、东南亚和东北亚。最后,本文对印度战略思维存在这些缺陷的原因进行了思考,并提出了相应的对策。

Near-catastrophic victory: disregarded lessons from the six-day war 近乎灾难性的胜利:无视六天战争的教训
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-04-03 DOI: 10.1080/14702436.2023.2199982

ABSTRACT The Israeli’s lightning quick victory of June 1967, in the Six Day War, obscured serious deficiencies in Israel’s military strategy. The Israeli Air Force’s (IAF) dependence on a preemptive strike had cost Israel an essential ally and military arms supplier in France. The false assumption that political support would again be forthcoming for a pre-emptive strike was exposed six years later, in the Yom Kippur War. The U.S. military would take lessons from the Yom Kippur War on the lethality of modern battle but observations of the changing character of modern warfare were available in the Six-Day War.
1967年6月,以色列在六日战争中闪电般的快速胜利,掩盖了以色列军事战略的严重缺陷。以色列空军(IAF)对先发制人打击的依赖使以色列在法国失去了一个重要的盟友和军事武器供应国。六年后的赎罪日战争(Yom Kippur War)暴露了一种错误的假设,即先发制人的打击将再次获得政治支持。美国军方将从赎罪日战争中吸取教训,了解现代战争的杀伤力,但对现代战争特征变化的观察可以在六日战争中获得。

ABSTRACT Purpose – This study starts from the observation that there is a mismatch, in Brazil, between the strategic actions listed in the National Defense Strategy, and the capabilities of Strategic Defense Companies. Design/methodology/approach – The study is classified from the point of view of the approach to the problem, as qualitative , using the single case study method. Findings – The use of the DC-Defense instrument will enable Strategic Defense Companies to know their dynamic capabilities, so that they can, in their strategic planning, develop actions that allow them to generate competitive advantage. Research limitations/implications – As a research limitation, it is pointed out the study of a single case, IMBEL, but the data of Strategic Defense Companies are not available, due to the complexity and sensitivity of the products and technologies involved, which demands secrecy on the part of the high management. Practical implications – The DC-Defense instrument aims to help Strategic Defense Companies to know their dynamic capabilities and set goals in their strategic plans, which allow them to generate competitive advantage. Originality/value – In this study, an instrument called Dynamic Capacities in Defense (DC-Defense) was proposed..
摘要目的——本研究的出发点是,在巴西,《国防战略》中列出的战略行动与战略防御公司的能力不匹配。设计/方法论/方法——从问题方法的角度来看,该研究被归类为定性研究,使用单一案例研究方法。调查结果-DC防御工具的使用将使战略防御公司能够了解其动态能力,以便在战略规划中制定行动,从而产生竞争优势。研究局限性/影响——作为研究局限性,有人指出,对IMBEL这一单一案例的研究,但由于所涉及的产品和技术的复杂性和敏感性,战略防御公司的数据不可用,这要求高级管理层保密。实际意义——DC国防工具旨在帮助战略国防公司了解其动态能力,并在战略计划中设定目标,从而产生竞争优势。独创性/价值——在这项研究中,提出了一种名为动态防御能力(DC Defense)的工具。。

ABSTRACT Across the world, Special Operations Forces (SOFs) play a leading role in asymmetric warfare. The unique trainings, skills, weapons, and equipment of these elite Tier 1 operators, differentiates them from conventional forces, making them the preferred choice in complex environments. SOFs are ideally deployed for short operations, which include direct action missions, hostage rescue, hunting high-value targets (HVTs), mobility operations, intelligence operations, airborne operations, counterterrorism (CT), counterinsurgency (COIN) operations, and covert operations among others. While the literature has mostly focused on the utility of major powers’ SOFs in the Global War on Terror (GWOT), with little attention on Africa’s SOF’s, this paper examines the origins, evolution, composition, and deployments of Nigeria’s SOFs specifically in the Northeast, Northcentral, and Northwest theatres of operation, against the Boko Haram insurgency and armed banditry, respectively. Drawing on primary data from interviews with key informants and other secondary data sources, the paper interrogates the successes, challenges, and prospects of Nigeria’s SOFs. The strategic utility and overreliance on Nigeria’s SOFs by political leaders and the Military’s High Command puts a strain on their strategic value which potentially undermines their strategic efficacy as a force-multiplier in the long run, against unconventional threats.
摘要在世界范围内,特种作战部队在不对称战争中发挥着主导作用。这些精英一级操作员的独特训练、技能、武器和装备将他们与常规部队区分开来,使他们成为复杂环境中的首选。特种作战部队是短期作战的理想部署,包括直接行动任务、人质营救、追捕高价值目标(HVT)、机动行动、情报行动、空中行动、反恐行动、反叛乱行动和秘密行动等。虽然文献主要关注大国特种作战部队在全球反恐战争中的作用,而很少关注非洲特种作战部队,但本文研究了尼日利亚特种作战部队的起源、演变、组成和部署,特别是在东北部、中北部和西北部战区,打击博科圣地叛乱和武装土匪,分别地根据对关键线人的采访和其他次要数据来源的初步数据,该论文询问了尼日利亚特种作战部队的成功、挑战和前景。政治领导人和军方最高司令部对尼日利亚特种作战部队的战略效用和过度依赖给其战略价值带来了压力,从长远来看,这可能会削弱其作为力量倍增器对抗非常规威胁的战略效能。
