	Salient (military) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In trench warfare, salients are distinctly defined by the opposinglines of trenches and they were commonly formed by the failure of a broad, frontal attack.
		The static nature of the trenchesmeant that forming a pocket was difficult but the vulnerable nature of salients meant that they were often the focus of attrition battles.
		In mobile warfare, such as the German Blitzkrieg, salients were more likelyto be made into pockets which became the focus of annihilation battles.

		Studies of military intervention in politics focus either on the "pull factors" (the sociopolitical-security situation), or on the "push factors" (the dynamic character of their internal organization), or on both.
		The "new professionalism" of the Korean military which developed since the first coup of 1961 was encouraged by the authoritarian regime in exchange for the military protecting the regime against sociopolitical threats.
		Although the military as a whole was integral to the authoritarian regime, the regime's practice of favoritism was accompanied by complaints from unrewarded groups.

	Knox County, Tennessee, in World War I
		The military strategy employed by General Pershing in the reduction of this salient is explained very well by a homely illustration.
		Upon the left of the Fourth Corps, and strung lightly around the tip of the salient from Xivray to Mouilly, was the Second French Corps, while the western base of the wedge was held by the Fifth American Corps, under General Cameron, made up of the 26th and 4th American divisions and a French division.
		The advance continued throughout the day and night of September 12, and early on the morning of September 13, the advance guards of the 1st and 26th Divisions met, as had been planned, just north of Vigneulles, where the doors of the wedge were to be closed.

		When the possibility was discussed with Ludendorff, however, it was determined that the salient was too narrow to conceal a large buildup of forces prior to an attack.
		The U.S. plan was for a limited offensive, the goal of which was to reduce the salient and then rapidly shift forces farther to the west for another, larger offensive in the Meuse-Argonne region.
		Despite their considered judgment, he refused to evacuate the St. Mihiel salient and in fact reinforced Army Detachment C and the command on its eastern flank, the Nineteenth Army.

		Military hospitals were established here very early in the war, and these began burying their dead in the surrounding hopfields.
		From this grew Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery, a typical 'hospital' cemetery, one of the largest on the Western Front.

	[CTRL] The ACLU and Military Commissions
		Military Commissions have their origins, as far as this country is concerned, in English law that was adopted by the United States upon its independence from England.
		Courts Martial are reserved for American military personnel who violate the UCMJ and for prisoners of war who violate the rules while in captivity and consequently may, but are not required to be tried by court-martial.
		US Military Commissions are an extension of the warfare effort to combat the terrorists that attacked this nation; the President should continue doing precisely what he is doing-and I applaud him.

		The military and political results of the battles of summer and fall 1943 turned out to be a catastrophe for Berlin: the Hitler coalition started falling apart while the Third Reich was moving toward its end.
		In the middle of August 1943 the Swedish government announced that it banned German military transit across its territory; Portugal hastened to transfer its military bases on the Azores Islands to Britain.

		Reducing the scope of the attack on the St. Mihiel salient to nine U.S. and five French divisions, Pershing and his stag began to prepare two offensives to be mounted within 23 days in areas 40 miles apart.

		This 'military qualifier' is a BS leftist canard brought about solely to denigrate the opinions of those who disagree with the anti-war proponents.
		Those who did not serve in the military and oppose the war should be held to the same standard of logic as those on the other side.
		But, there are a significant portion of the young/college republicans who view military service as a lesser thing, something you do if you can't get a real job, and they would never, under any circumstances, either join, encourage their kids to join, or encourage a friend to join.

		The policy of exerting a global military presence carried out by setting up a network of military bases makes it considerably easier for the United States to engage in aggressive operations, in armed terrorist acts against other countries, including implementation of direct aggression against sovereign states anywhere on the planet.

		At the military operational level, information warfare is likely to contribute to fundamental changes in the conduct of warfare through the ability to achieve situational awareness and/or knowledge while denying the adversary the same.
		In view of these emerging operational concepts, traditional military organizations may be compelled to restructure itself to suit the new demands of war and to pass the test of a small OODA Cycle.
		Emerging military technology may create the capabilities, but military organizations must also evolve to ensure the SAF is at its optimum in knowledge warfare.

	COUNTERPOINT TO STALINGRAD, Operation Mars (November-December 1942): Marshal Zhukov's Greatest Defeat
		The Germans had fortified the rivers flanking the salient and had cleared timber from the main north-south and east-west roads and rail lines which traversed the salient.
		Although heavy forests and swamps dominated the terrain in the salient's western and central regions, the Germans had cleared sufficient terrain to permit both firm defense and the maneuver of mobile tactical and operational reserves within it.
		By launching his main attacks against the base of the Rzhev salient from both east and west, Zhukov sought to envelop German forces in the salient with frontal assaults without having to conduct complex maneuver with his mobile forces across the difficult terrain and in the harsh weather conditions.

		Perhaps the core of Hegel's philosophy is the idea that human history is the history of thought as it attempts to understand itself and its relation to its world.
		This is why Kojève, as early as 1948, was proclaiming the United States as the economic model for the 'post-historical' world, the most efficient and successful in conquering nature in order to provide for human material needs.
		His ideas achieved a new salience and exposure with the publication of Francis Fukayama's The End of History and the Last Man (1992), in the wake of the Cold War.

	Civil-Military Relations in Post-independent Africa: South African Defence Review No 3, 1992
		In Portugal there was a successful military coup in 1974, when the army intervened to end Lisbon's wars in Africa; and in both Greece and Turkey, the soldiers have dismissed the politicians on a number of occasions since 1945.
		On the one hand, the virtual monopoly of organized state violence enjoyed by the military (and police) forces in societies where the central political symbols and institutions are weak have enabled soldiers to seize power with relative ease.
		What is clear, however, is that the interventionist inclinations of the military in post-independent Africa are, to an important extent, a legacy of the way in which the continent was divided during the last part of the nineteenth century.
