Book Description
Creating Military Power examines how societies, cultures, political structures, and the global environment affect countries' military organizations. Unlike most analyses of countries' military power, which focus on material and basic resources—such as the size of populations, technological and industrial base, and GNP—this volume takes a more expansive view. The study's overarching argument is that states' global environments and the particularities of their cultures, social structures, and political institutions often affect how they organize and prepare for war, and ultimately impact their effectiveness in battle. The creation of military power is only partially dependent on states' basic material and human assets. Wealth, technology, and human capital certainly matter for a country's ability to create military power, but equally important are the ways a state uses those resources, and this often depends on the political and social environment in which military activity takes place.

Book Description
"The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) held a formal In-House Researcher Colloquium on 20 November 1997 in Alexandria, Virginia. The main purpose of the colloquium was to provide an opportunity for cross-unit discussion among ARI's more junior researchers. The eight researchers who presented research findings at the colloquium represented ARI's Armored Forces Research Unit, the Automated Training Methods Research Unit, the Fort Leavenworth Research Unit, the infantry Forces Research Unit, the Organization and Personnel Resources Research Unit, the Rotary-Wing Aviation Research Unit, the Selection and Assignment Research Unit, and the Simulator Systems Research Unit. Each research topic was specifically selected by the Research Unit Chief as an example of the best of research being performed at the unit. This report provides brief summaries of the research and biographies of the researchers. It also serves as an example of the range of behavioral and social science research being addressed by in-house researchers at ARI as well as of the backgrounds of ARI's research staff."--DTIC.

Book Description
John McGrath's Crossing the Line of Departure is a wide-ranging historical overview of that most difficult aspect of military leadership, the art of battle command. McGrath leads the reader through case studies beginning with Alexander the Great leading up to the recent war in Iraq. Among others, he analyzes Napoleon's technique, French and British practices in World War I, the German experience with "Blitzkreig" in World War II, and the Soviet approach to battle command. McGrath also extends his historical analysis to the present day by presenting a description of battle command theory in the "Modular Army" and the Information Age. Through it all, he finds that the key to successful command in battle, particularly in mobile operations, is found in the successful interplay between technology and personal technique. Unlike some pundits today, McGrath does not conclude that information age technology is likely to shift the balance between these poles in favor of technology dependence. The commander's personal sense of where to be on the battlefield, where to locate and how to use his headquarters staffs, and how to communicate with his subordinates have been-and remain today-crucial elements of successful battle command. A 21st century commander has use of technology beyond the comprehension of an Alexander, a Napoleon, or a Guderian; but he will continue to grapple with the same issues of personal presence and technique that they mastered so well. Crossing the Line of Departure brings to the fore insights, trends, and leadership qualities needed for successful battle command. While possessing knowledge of these traits does not guarantee success on the battlefield, their absence will almost assuredly bring defeat. We at the Combat Studies Institute believe that McGrath's monograph, by casting light on the art and science of battle command through the ages, will be a useful tool for commanders and staffs as they prepare for future operations.
