 Smith - Temp
Specifically, how naval “lessons” from the First World War were treated and how the curricula were structured will be examined to consider their adequacy and impact in transforming a predominantly defensive navy into a well—honed organization with an offensive mindset capable of conducting operations in both inshore and open ocean areas.
Prior to the Second World War the United States Navy, though extremely important to the nation’s emancipation from British rule and in defense of homeland security and national interests during the century that followed, was fundamentally defensive in character.
What emerged from the Naval War College was the same group of men with a warrior mentality and a firm expectation of the professional competence and analytical mindset of their wartime counterparts which would lead to decisive action through a sound decision process.

 Museum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Museum's themes are the history of naval warfare, particularly as studied at the College, and the naval heritage of Narragansett Bay—a tale that begins with the nation's colonial roots.
Besides permanent exhibits on the College, the genesis of the Navy in the region, and the evolution of permanent naval installations from the late nineteenth century to the present, the Museum features short-term special exhibits relating to College curriculum and to current naval-related topics.
While the Museum is primarily for the education and the edification of the Naval War College community, it is in a larger sense the corporate memory of the Navy in the region, and it serves as a clearinghouse for naval history information in New England.

 Committee on International Relations, U.S. House of Representatives
I must begin by stating for the record that the views expressed here are my own, and not those of the US Navy, the Naval War College, or the US government.
The war on terrorism in South Asia is a complex and daunting task, and requires the acknowledgment of certain realities.
In these circumstances, Pakistan - an ally in the war on terrorism - is both part of the problem and a key part of the solution.

 Crisis in South Asia - International Game ’99
The United States laid blame for the catastrophe at the doorsteps of the Indian and Pakistani governments and questioned whether they were ready to stop the carnage.
The United States played its role consistent with current foreign policy positions, except when it was willing to send in troops and to extend security guarantees at the end of move two.
Although some states thought it wise to make the United Nations (particularly the Secretary-General) the primary instrument of mediation during both moves, it was generally felt that the United Nations had neither the leverage nor the time to deal with this kind of crisis.

 Just War, Not Prevention   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
But they draw attention to the fact that the United States and its allies are already at war with the Iraqis; one cannot “preempt” or “preventively attack” a regime whose forces one is already attacking on a regular basis.
Rogues are unconcerned with the legalities of war, and they will act as they please, constrained only by power and self-interest, and not by abstract notions of the right order of international society, no matter what the United States does.
Those concerned that the United States is about to revise the international status quo might consider that Western inaction will allow the status quo to be revised in any case, only under the guns of a dictator commanding an arsenal of the most deadly materials on earth.

That was the birth of the Naval War College as it exists today, and that was the birth of the course of which I am the course chairman, Strategy.
Well, part of the norm against preventive war was always rooted in the Westphalian state system — that is, the state system that was created in 1648 by the Treaty of Westphalia that ended the Thirty Years War, which was this bloody, horrible religious struggle that just laid waste to Europe.
I believe that the United States is largely a force for good in the international community, even though we have done demonstrably stupid and even evil things, particularly in the cause of the Cold War, when we would do all kinds of things to defeat the Soviets.

 Abstract-Admed Hashim   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
from the United States Naval War College briefed the Executive Lecture Forum members and the invited Mississippi Anti-Terrorist Task Force group on the threat of weapons of mass destruction in three distinct areas: Iraq, the Indian subcontinent, and Al-Qaeda.
Iraq learned from its defeat in 1991 that it has no hope of meeting the United States conventionally; so Saddam decided to propel a biological and chemical war capability to assure his regime’s survival in the face of American hostility.
The United States has eliminated the basic infrastructure of Al-Qaeda, but the battle is far from over, concluded Professor Hashim in his very well received lecture.

 Squidjiggin' Grounds
In 1992-1993 I was lucky to have the opportunity to go back to school for a year at the United States Naval War College (NWC) in Newport, Rhode Island.
I was in the College of Naval Warfare (sometimes called the "senior college" since it was comprised largely of Navy and Coast Guard Captains and Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps colonels with a smattering of upper mid-level civilians from various government agencies as well as a few commanders and lieutenant colonels).
One of the important lessons which I brought away from my War College year was a heightened appreciation of the fact that the vast majority of our miltary leaders are much more reticent to, and mindful of, not expending the blood of our youths and our national treasure except in the most severe extremity.
