In Defense 101, a concise primer for understanding the United
States' $700+ billion defense budget and rapidly changing military
technologies, Michael O'Hanlon provides a deeply informed yet
accessible analysis of American military power. After an
introduction in which O'Hanlon surveys today's international
security environment, provides a brief sketch of the history of the
US military, its command structure, the organization of its three
million personnel, and a review of its domestic basing and global
reach, Defense 101 provides in-depth coverage of four critical
areas in military affairs: * Defense Budgeting and Resource
Allocation: detailed budget and cost breakdowns, wartime spending
allocations, economics of overseas basing, military readiness, and
defense budgeting versus US grand strategy * Gaming and Modeling
Combat: wargaming, micro modeling, nuclear exchange calculations,
China scenarios, and assessments of counterinsurgency missions *
Technological Change and Military Innovation: use of computers,
communications, and robotics, cutting-edge developments in
projectiles and propulsion systems * The Science of War, military
uses of space, missile defense, and nuclear weapons, testing, and
proliferation For policy makers and experts, military
professionals, students, and citizens alike, Defense 101 helps make
sense of the US Department of Defense, the basics of war and the
future of armed conflict, and the most important characteristics of
the American military.
