{"product_id":"2940148844686","title":"Turning Victory Into Success: Military Operations After the Campaign","description":"The second annual military symposium took place at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas\u003cbr\u003efrom 14 to 16 September 2004. The US Army Training and Doctrine Command\u003cbr\u003e(TRADOC) sponsored the event and the US Army Combined Arms Center’s Combat\u003cbr\u003eStudies Institute (CSI) served as its host. The symposium brought together civilian historians and military officers for the purpose of discussing a variety of historical\u003cbr\u003ecase studies and the ways in which they can illuminate current military issues and\u003cbr\u003eoperations.\u003cbr\u003eAs the title and subtitle of the symposium indicate, the topics addressed the\u003cbr\u003epurpose behind military operations—winning the peace. The US military and its\u003cbr\u003ecoalition allies have proven themselves adept at achieving military victory in short,\u003cbr\u003edecisive, major combat operations. The critical nexus, then, is how battlefield victory\u003cbr\u003etranslates into political success. The panelists and audience discussed the nature\u003cbr\u003eof war, cultural awareness, terrorism, stability operations in the Philippines, Latin\u003cbr\u003eAmerica, Lebanon, and Vietnam, as well as operations in Iraq. Without exception,\u003cbr\u003ethe presenters were thought-provoking and their presentations elicited lively discussion\u003cbr\u003eamong the attendees.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains most of the presentations given at the symposium. The\u003cbr\u003epresentations can also be found at \u003cbr\u003eConference-04\/ConfAnnouncement.asp, the CSI website for the conference.

In addition,\u003cbr\u003ewe have included some of the material from the question and answer periods\u003cbr\u003efollowing selected presentations.\u003cbr\u003eThe second annual military symposium was of great benefit to those who attended,\u003cbr\u003eand we hope the readers of this volume will find the experience equally advantageous.\u003cbr\u003eWe at Fort Leavenworth would like to thank TRADOC’s Futures Center, specifically Major General David Fastabend and Colonel Michael Starry, US Army\u003cbr\u003e(Retired) for providing the support that made this conference possible.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166722375920,"sku":"2940148844686","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148844686_p0.jpg?v=1763708854","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148844686","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
