	UT Military: Conflict of Ideology
		Universities are not only hotbeds of military activity, they are adversely affected by the ethical compromises and threats to academic freedom that accompany a Department of Defense presence.
		It is naïve to think that an abundance of funding from the military does not affect the projects chosen to be worthy of scientific inquiry.
		Postol, a leading critic of the military's missile defense testing program has accused the Pentagon of trying to silence him and intimidate MIT with threats of revoking the Institute's management of the Lincoln Laboratory at Hanscom Air Force Base in Lexington, Massachusetts.

		Military commanders on the ground must act to prevent and where necessary suppress serious violations involving the local population under their control or subject to their authority.
		During international armed conflicts and arguably during internal ones, all parties must avoid locating military objectives near densely populated areas and they must, to the extent feasible, remove civilians and civilian objects from the vicinity of military objectives.
		Military commanders, whether of regular armed forces or non-state armed groups, may be held responsible for war crimes committed under their orders.

	Russian Military Doctrine (2000) [Free Republic]
		The Military Doctrine is a document for a transitional period—the period of the formation of democratic statehood and a mixed economy, the transformation of the state’s military organization, and the dynamic transformation of the system of international relations.
		The Military Doctrine is defensive in nature, which is predetermined by the organic combination within its provisions of a consistent adherence to peace with a firm resolve to defend national interests and guarantee the military security of the Russian Federation and its allies.
		Armed conflict can arise in the form of an armed incident, an armed action, and other armed clashes on a limited scale and be the consequence of an attempt to resolve national, ethnic, religious, or other differences with the help of the means of military conflict.

	Military history of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the early years of the British colonization of North America, military action in the colonies that would become United States were the result of conflicts with Native Americans, such as in the Pequot War of 1637 and King Philip's War in 1675.
		This conflict is also known as the "Philippine Insurrection." This name was historically the most commonly used in the U.S., but Filipinos and an increasing number of American historians refer to these hostilities as the "Philippine-American War," and, in 1999, the U.S. Library of Congress reclassified its references to use this term.
		In the United States, the conflict was termed a police action under the aegis of the United Nations rather than a war, largely in order to remove the necessity of a Congressional declaration of war.

	FAS Public Interest Report: January/February 1995
		The notion of a "military technical revolution" or a "revolution in military affairs"-both of which are terms that originated in Soviet military thought-has become endemic in the literature of defense analysis.
		The current, or pending, revolution in military affairs is predicated largely on the exploitation of new information technologies that promise an unprecedented degree of detailed and near-instantaneous data on battlefield conditions along with the ability to coordinate and execute battle plans with extraordinary precision and lethality.
		Military analysts emphasize that a military technical revolution is not simply a matter of introducing advanced technology, but that it also requires an appropriate revision of military institutions and practices.

	Treating Core Conflict Problems
		In prolonged and escalated conflicts, distrust is inevitable, and it significantly hampers the ability of the parties to negotiate even a partial solution to their problems.
		The ultimate goal of conflict transformation is reconciliation--a return to normal relations between disputing groups where each side accepts the legitimacy of the other's identity and aspirations, apologizes for and forgives the other for past aggressive or violent acts.
		By helping people involved in conflicts better understand what is going on and what options they have for dealing with their problems in constructive ways, it is possible to provide lasting assistance which will have impact far beyond any outside conflict resolution intervention.

	The risk of an Indonesian military attack against Australia - Military Photos
		The subject of this assessment is the risk of a military conflict between Indonesia and Australia.
		While the Indonesian military (TNI) looks formidable on paper, with a total manpower of about 290,000, especially when compared to that of Australia, which has 50,000 personnel, the real issue is what forces Indonesia can move to Australia in support of military operations.
		Such a conflict would not be based around major exchanges, but the use of light air attacks, and special forces that conduct sabotage operations against Australian military, economic and other civil targets such as mines, offshore oil and gas platforms and infrastructure.

	Post-Conflict Operations from Europe to Iraq
		The military's reluctance to think deeply about the place of peace operations in military affairs derived from a rich tradition of Western military theory, typified by the 19th century Prussian thinker Carl von Clausewitz, who emphasized the primacy of winning battles and destroying the enemy's conventional troops.
		In the present military education system, however, much of the edification relevant to building these attributes is provided--if at all--at the war colleges to a relatively elite group being groomed for senior leader and joint duty positions.
		The military also needs a more robust and integrated acquisition program--a "system of systems" approach to cost-conflict missions that includes more aggressive development of non-lethal technologies, capacities to rapidly equip and interface with domestic security forces, and support for the reconstruction and protection of governance and other critical infrastructure.

		World War II World War II global military conflict that, in terms of lives lost and material destruction, was the most devastating war in human history.
		Moreover, the Soviet military leadership had concluded that blitzkrieg, as it had been practiced in Poland and France, would not be possible on the scale of a Soviet-German war; both sides would therefore confine themselves for the first several weeks at least to sparring along the frontier.
		Most of his political and military associates chose to leave the capital for places in north and south Germany likely to be out of the Soviet reach.

	CCC - Asymmetric Conflict in South Asia: The Kargil War
		In the summer of 1999, India and Pakistan fought a 73 day military conflict in the upper reaches of Kashmir at Kargil, located 120 miles from the capital city of Srinagar.
		The conflict was a clear manifestation of a 50 year-old sub-continental rivalry that has portents of a nuclear conflagration affecting global peace and security.
		The confrontation was a revealing example of asymmetric conflict, wherein opposing combatants employ markedly different resources and strategies in an attempt to maximize their advantages and exploit the opponent's weaknesses.

	US Pentagon contingency planning for military conflict with Venezuela
		Military sources ascribe Venezuela’s emergence on a list of actual military threats as a reflection of an important post 9/11 war reality: The events themselves of September 11 provide justification … and perceived need … to take risks in thinking about unanticipated threats.
		But Rumsfeld also pushed the military to develop what is loosely described as “adaptive” plans, the preparations and systems necessarily to take military action in unanticipated contingencies.
		Rumsfeld’s broad guidance to the military is to be prepared to handle four “persistent and emerging challenges,” labeled as traditional, irregular, catastrophic, and disruptive.

	U.S. Has Plan For Military Conflict With Venezuela:
		There is not a doubt that military planners are doing what military planners do: looking at the world through the prism of potential threat, fitting countries to their models of action and reaction, toiling away they think in secret, considering the "what ifs." This is particularly the case after the failure of 9/11.
		Chavez has for months been using conflict with the United States and the resulting and associated threats -- real or imagined -- of assassinations, military coups, oil sabotage and invasion to mobilize and organize the Venezuelan people and strengthen his hold on power.
		Rumsfeld is equally opportunistic, carrying out his duty and unflinchingly and unapologetically seeing the world in the way that he does: There may be no "plan" for an assassination, coup, sabotage or invasion, and that in itself is a problem to be rectified.

	Report cites abuse at old Iraqi military base - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.com
		The camp, in a former Iraqi military base at Baghdad International Airport, was the first stop for many insurgents on their way to Abu Ghraib prison a few miles away.
		The Times said the abuse at Camp Nama began as the Iraqi insurgency intensified in early 2004 and continued after photographs of abuse at Abu Ghraib were made public in April 2004, belying Pentagon assertions that abuse was limited to a small group of reservists at the notorious detention center.
		Many of their complaints are supported by declassified military documents and e-mail messages from FBI agents who worked with the task force, the Times said.
