THE U.S. ARMY IN THE ARCTIC 9 Jan 2021 Chief of Staff Paper Number 3 Our Army exists to protect our nation and to preserve the peace.

This book is not merely an academic study. It is also based in great part on Gershaneck’s extensive experience working in the fields of national intelligence, counterintelligence, international relations, strategic communications, and academia during the course of more than 35 years, at times literally on the front lines combating PRC political warfare. He witnessed firsthand the United States at its zenith in the political warfare fight as well as its subsequent abandonment of high-level political warfare organization, education, and operations at the end of the Cold War.

The international order established after the Second World War and developed throughout the Cold War largely ensured widespread peace and stability even as it saw new conflicts—large and small—take place in different regions of the world. This post-war era, underwritten primarily by the strength of the United States, also gave rise to the greatest period of prosperity in history, witnessing countries rebuild from war and emerge from colonialism to become vibrant and valuable members of the international community. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States emerged as a ...

Russia’s 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, activity in Eastern Ukraine, saber rattling regarding the Baltics, deployment to Syria, and more assertive behavior along its borders have peeked interest in the Russian Armed Forces. This increased interest has caused much speculation about their structure, capabilities, and future development. Interestingly, this speculation has created many different, and often contradictory narratives about these issues.

This book complements Les Grau's previous book, "The Bear Went Over the Mountain." the other side of the mountain is a compilation of Mujahideen combat actions against Soviet forces during the Soviet-Afghan War. The 92 vignettes with maps include operational graphics in full color are arranged chronologically and assembled topically, based on type of action, into 14 chapters. The cost of the other side of the mountain is due to the fact that it simply costs more to print a 430 page book in color.

I came up with this scenario as an example how the People’s Republic of China might bring Taiwan into the fold in keeping with the teachings of Sun Tsu. The Chinese military cannot control...
