Defense to Better

Take Note
The Army is Changing

Capt. Vincent R. Wiggins Jr.,
U.S. Army
The Army prioritizes static-engagementair-and-missile-defense assets at the
expense of aggressive maneuver tempo,
according to this analysis. The author
makes a case for incorporating nonstaticengagement-air-and-missile-defense
assets such as modernized Avengers at the
brigade combat team level.

Lt. Col. Jason Earley, U.S. Air Force
An Air Force officer discusses how planned
changes in Army structure, size, and doctrine
will effect the Air Force and its leaders.

Combat Capabilities

64 Countering the
Unmanned Aircraft
Systems Threat

Maj. Jonathan Bissell, U.S. Army
Command Sgt. Maj. Carlos Olvera,
U.S. Army

Col. Matthew T. Tedesco,
U.S. Army

Much of the success of the U.S. Army is
attributable to effective employment
of its career noncommissioned officers.
Encouraging foreign nations to adopt
U.S. Army techniques for developing and
using an NCO corps may be an essential
component for their militaries’ success.

The joint force needs a systematic
approach to counter unmanned aircraft
systems. How can it ensure the services
are adequately trained, equipped, and
organized to defend against this increasing
threat? Recommendations are provided.

70 Drones, Honor, and War
Cora Sol Goldstein, PhD

92 An All-Volunteer Force
for Long-Term Success

Violence in war is often deemed
acceptable, and even honorable, when
direct confrontation is involved, and
when opposing forces are assumed to
share equivalent risks. Accordingly, some
consider the use of drones in warfare as
dishonorable and cowardly.

Col. Michael Runey, U.S. Army
Col. Charles Allen,
U.S. Army, Retired
Diverging military, societal, and political
forces make the all-volunteer force’s viability
untenable without fundamental change. The
authors use an operational design approach
to frame the environment, define the strategic
problem, and outline solutions to issues of
enlisted recruitment and retention.

Camp Clark, Afghanistan.
