The Instant New York Times Bestseller. A war is being waged against us by radical Islamists, and, as current events demonstrate, they are only getting stronger. Al-Qaeda has morphed into a much more dangerous, menacing threat: ISIS. Boko Haram, Hamas, and other groups continue to foment violence around the world. The Field of Fight succinctly lays out why we have failed to stop terrorist groups from growing, and what we must do to stop them. For if you understand your enemies, it's much easier to defeat them--and right now, Flynn argues, we do not understand them. A call to action that is sensible, informed, and original, The Field of Fight offers a plan that combines creative and strategic solutions with political engagement and effective military action; a plan not only to "manage" the problem, or to participate in perpetual conflict, but to win.

As the war on terrorism progresses, it appears stability operations may continue to be the logical follow-on phase after intervention into each failed state. There is a necessity for military forces in the post-conflict environment to keep the peace while the failed state rebuilds. Already, there are approximately 71,000 U.S. military personnel committed to such operations around the world. Interventions in Haiti, Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, East Timor, and Macedonia are recent examples of America's commitment to end violence, end suffering, and provide humanitarian support. American military forces have been involved with operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina for over six years. Operations in Kosovo indicate a similar path with no end in sight. A review of western military literature indicates a plethora of information on end state as it relates to war. Despite an extensive history in stability operations, there is a void on the role of end state. The purpose of this monograph is to determine if end state is a relevant construct for the campaign planning of stability operations, specifically, peace operations. As globalization spreads, international pressure and economic necessity have resulted in U.S. intervention numerous times in the past decade. While a bipolar world afforded a sense of certainty, the known threat of communism, the multipolar environment is characterized by uncertainty and complexity. As the United States continues to become engaged in peace operations, it is imperative to understand the implementation of end states. Peace operations cannot become unending commitments and tie up precious resources. Piecemeal commitment of American military forces around the globe affects readiness. From the theoretical perspective, the author examines goal setting, problem solving, and the role of intent. From the historical perspective, two case studies, Bosnia and Kosovo, are evaluated to assess the role of end state in planning.

This study is a historical analysis of the demonstrated Russian and American artillery principles and techniques which were instrumental in achieving success in offensive actions at the operational level of war during World War II. Each army's concept is examined based on historical records and contemporary literature and then compared to reveal similarities and differences. The common characteristics are then compared to the general considerations listed in the 1986 version of FM 100-5 Operations. The Russian Vistula-Oder Operation and the American Operation Cobra illustrate the similarities and differences. The conclusions which could be drawn are that 1) artillery support for actions at the tactical level of war and the operational level of war are very similar, 2) operational fire or operational field artillery is more correctly a procedure to support actions at the operational level of war, and 3) both the Russian and American artillery doctrines of World War II effectively supported their respective maneuver doctrines. Each country's doctrine achieved the goals set by the country's army and were based on different concepts, yet were still very similar. The study concludes that the most important difference is the concept of planning to sequence artillery movements and actions well beyond the seizure of the initial objectives, deep into the enemy's rear areas. The Russians fully grasp the importance of the concept. The Americans are beginning to grasp the concept, but current American artillery doctrinal literature is inadequate. The procedures and principles of World War II provide a sound basis for updating current doctrine.

Today's Air Force officer corps continues to face tough challenges when enrolled in Professional Military Education. Due to the nature of the current conflicts, Air University (AU) continues to prepare officer's for today's fight, rather than preventing or winning tomorrow's conflicts. In order to prepare for tomorrow's battles, AU must look at the caliber of instructors teaching today's officer corps and develop the curriculum that prepares officers to fight in a cross-domain environment. To do so will require understanding what the Air Force considers an operator.
