The Armed Forces Officer
In 1950, when he commissioned the first edition of The Armed Forces Officer, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall told its author, S.L.A. Marshall, that "American military officers, of whatever service, should share common ground ethically and morally." In this new edition, the authors methodically explore that common ground, reflecting on the basics of the Profession of Arms, and the officer's special place and distinctive obligations within that profession and especially to the Constitution.

What it Takes
"When appropriate, the U.S. Air Force needs to be prepared to supply joint task force (JTF) headquarters. If the U.S. Air Force takes the steps necessary to produce JTF-capable units, both the service and the nation would benefit. The authors consider the nature of JTF command, survey command-related developments in other services and in other elements of the defense community, and examine four JTF operations. They raise issues for the Air Force to consider and offer a set of recommendations aimed at enhancing the Air Force's ability to staff and run JTF headquarters."--Provided by publisher.
General Kenney Reports: A Personal History of the Pacific War
General Kenney Reports is a classic account of a combat commander in action. General George Churchill Kenney arrived in the South- west Pacific theater in August 1942 to find that his command, if not in a shambles, was in dire straits. The theater commander, General Douglas MacArthur, had no confidence in his air element. Kenney quickly changed this situation. He organized and energized the Fifth Air Force, bringing in operational commanders like Whitehead and Wurtsmith who knew how to run combat air forces. He fixed the logistical swamp, making supply and maintenance supportive of air operations, and encouraging mavericks such as Pappy Gunn to make new and innovative weapons and to explore ...
Public Affairs
The US military has an obligation to communicate with the American public, and it is in the national interest to communicate with the international public. Through the responsive release of accurate information and imagery to domestic and international audiences, public affairs (PA) puts operational actions in context, facilitates the development of informed perceptions about military operations, helps undermine adversarial propaganda efforts, and contributes to the achievement of national, strategic, and operational objectives. Information relating to the military and its operations is available to the public from the Department of Defense (DOD) as well as national unofficial sources (e.g.,...
Joint Fires and Targeting Handbook
The fires function and targeting process continues to mature at an accelerated pace as joint, coalition, and supporting forces remain engaged in on-going, high-tempo operations. These continuing operations reinforce the need for knowledgeable and efficient planners, targeteers, and weaponeers. Emerging technologies and joint warfighter experiences combine to turn lessons learned into improved and new joint fires and targeting planning, execution, and assessment best practices. Many of these innovative procedures are recognized by the joint community, but they are not yet approved joint doctrine. This handbook was developed to ensure commonly accepted best practices for planning, executing, and assessing joint fires and targeting are documented. While this handbook does contain extracts from many doctrinal publications, it is not approved joint doctrine, but serves as an important pre-doctrinal product that will aid its refinement. United States Joint Forces Command developed this handbook for combatant commanders, subordinate joint force commanders, joint force staff members, and first tactical echelon personnel.
