Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration Programs for Military Practitioners
Disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) programs pose daunting challenges. As Dr. Raymond Millen notes, the political-military context at the end of a conflict requires due deliberation, since DDR programs are not suitable in every instance. They are difficult enough to implement even under favorable circumstances, so the US government should not view DDR programs as a panacea for all post-war environments. In too many instances, the conduct of DDR has been rather slapdash, then pawned off to security sector reform as a recourse. Such an abrogation of responsibility hampers security sector reform activities, resulting in greater expense and time. Disarmament, Demobilization, and...
The Past as Prologue
In today's military of rapid technological and strategic change, obtaining a complete understanding of the present, let alone the past, is a formidable challenge. Yet the very high rate of change today makes study of the past more important than ever before. The Past as Prologue, first published in 2006, explores the usefulness of the study of history for contemporary military strategists. It illustrates the great importance of military history while simultaneously revealing the challenges of applying the past to the present. Essays from authors of diverse backgrounds - British and American, civilian and military - come together to present an overwhelming argument for the necessity of the study of the past by today's military leaders in spite of these challenges. The essays of Part I examine the relationship between history and the military profession. Those in Part II explore specific historical cases that show the repetitiveness of certain military problems.
Professionalizing Ministerial Advising
In this study, Professor Raymond Millen has identified a persistent challenge in U.S. efforts to provide effective security cooperation and capacity building with fragile and failing states--the realm of ministerial advising. From his research and analysis, he has concluded the United States has an opportunity to close the gap between U.S. good intentions and outcomes by recommending the establishment of a professional ministerial corps.

Insurgency and Counter Insurgency: A Dangerous War of Nerves
This book is primarily an effort to study the phenomenon called insurgency that has been posing a huge challenge to the internal security of the country. Though a wealth of literature on the subject already exists, a need was felt to analyse the multiple facets of insurgency as no country barring India has witnessed this endemic for a prolonged period. The subject is so vast and dynamic that no strait-jacketed solution can be prescribed to curb this menace overnight. However, an attempt has been made to analyse this phenomenon and prescribe remedial antidotes. The author has attempted to capture the origin of insurgency which dates back to a late 18th century, and study various causes and nu...
