War and landpower's role in the twenty-first century is not just
about military organizations, tactics, operations, and technology;
it is also about strategy, policy, and social and political
contexts. After fourteen years of war in the Middle East with
dubious results, a diminished national reputation, and a continuing
drawdown of troops with perhaps a future force increase proposed by
the Trump administration, the role of landpower in US grand
strategy will continue to evolve with changing geopolitical
situations. Landpower in the Long War: Projecting Force After 9/11,
edited by Jason W. Warren , is the first holistic academic analysis
of American strategic landpower. Divided into thematic sections,
this study presents a comprehensive approach to a critical aspect
of US foreign policy as the threat or ability to use force
underpins diplomacy. The text begins with more traditional issues,
such as strategy and civilian-military relations, and works its way
to more contemporary topics, such as how socio-cultural
considerations effect the landpower force. It also includes a
synopsis of the suppressed Iraq report from one of the now retired
leaders of that effort. The contributors -- made up of an
interdisciplinary team of political scientists, historians, and
military practitioners -- demonstrate that the conceptualization of
landpower must move beyond the limited operational definition
offered by Army doctrine in order to encompass social changes,
trauma, the rule of law, acquisition of needed equipment,
civil-military relationships, and bureaucratic decision-making, and
argue that landpower should be a useful concept for warfighters and
government agencies.
