An essential introduction to contemporary strategy at the
operational level of war, now in its second edition Military
Strategy, Joint Operations, and Airpower introduces contemporary
strategy at the operational level of war, particularly as it
relates to airpower. Developed as foundational reading for all US
Air Force Academy cadets, Air Force ROTC students, and Officer
Training School candidates, this intermediate textbook is designed
to close the gap between military theory and practice. It covers
strategic foundations; operational design and joint-service
operations; the air, space, and cyber capabilities that comprise
modern airpower; and contemporary challenges in the application of
strategy. In this second edition, each chapter has been updated and
revised, and several sections have been expanded. Part 2, "Military
Forces and the Joint Fight," now features separate chapters about
each service. Similarly, operational design is expanded from one to
four chapters to provide a more thorough step-by-step guide through
the process. New chapters in this second edition include
"Integrating the Instruments of Power," "The Spectrum of Conflict
and Range of Military Operations," and "The Nuclear Weapons Triad
and Missile Defense." Military Strategy, Joint Operations, and
Airpower's contributing authors and editors include both military
practitioners and scholars of security studies, political science,
and history. In addition to being required reading for US Air Force
cadets, the book provides an essential overview of strategy and
practice for anyone interested in modern airpower.

Explore IoT, data analytics, and machine learning to solve
cyber-physical problems using the latest capabilities of managed
services such as AWS IoT Greengrass and Amazon SageMaker Key
Features Accelerate your next edge-focused product development with
the power of AWS IoT Greengrass Develop proficiency in architecting
resilient solutions for the edge with proven best practices Harness
the power of analytics and machine learning for solving
cyber-physical problems Book DescriptionThe Internet of Things
(IoT) has transformed how people think about and interact with the
world. The ubiquitous deployment of sensors around us makes it
possible to study the world at any level of accuracy and enable
data-driven decision-making anywhere. Data analytics and machine
learning (ML) powered by elastic cloud computing have accelerated
our ability to understand and analyze the huge amount of data
generated by IoT. Now, edge computing has brought information
technologies closer to the data source to lower latency and reduce
costs. This book will teach you how to combine the technologies of
edge computing, data analytics, and ML to deliver next-generation
cyber-physical outcomes. You'll begin by discovering how to create
software applications that run on edge devices with AWS IoT
Greengrass. As you advance, you'll learn how to process and stream
IoT data from the edge to the cloud and use it to train ML models
using Amazon SageMaker. The book also shows you how to train these
models and run them at the edge for optimized performance, cost
savings, and data compliance. By the end of this IoT book, you'll
be able to scope your own IoT workloads, bring the power of ML to
the edge, and operate those workloads in a production setting. What
you will learn Build an end-to-end IoT solution from the edge to
the cloud Design and deploy multi-faceted intelligent solutions on
the edge Process data at the edge through analytics and ML Package
and optimize models for the edge using Amazon SageMaker Implement
MLOps and DevOps for operating an edge-based solution Onboard and
manage fleets of edge devices at scale Review edge-based workloads
against industry best practices Who this book is forThis book is
for IoT architects and software engineers responsible for
delivering analytical and machine learning-backed software
solutions to the edge. AWS customers who want to learn and build
IoT solutions will find this book useful. Intermediate-level
experience with running Python software on Linux is required to
make the most of this book.
Whereas the role of the federal military is clearly defined and
limited in the spectrum of domestic operations, the National Guard,
as a state or federal asset depending on duty status designation,
assumes a more dynamic, multi-spectrum support role. This
multi-spectrum role sometimes puts the Guard at the center of a
contentious command power struggle between the states and federal
government; a power struggle that has led to a growing debate over
the role of the National Guard during domestic operations, with
some questioning whether the Guard is better aligned to the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), rather than the states, for
domestic operational requirements. This monograph, by Dr. Ryan
Burke and Dr. Sue McNeil, attempts to evaluate the benefits and
drawbacks of a hypothetical realignment of the National Guard to
the DHS. Drawing from interviews with a range of subject matter
experts primarily from the National Guard and the DHS, Burke and
McNeil first address the pros and cons of such...
The military response to Hurricane Sandy was historically
significant. For the first time, dual status commanders-military
commanders authorized by law to serve in both state and federal
status simultaneously- were activated in an effort to unify state
and federal efforts under a single command structure during an
unplanned response. The events that occurred over the 2-week
response period provide a basis for lessons learned as we look to
improve upon this first attempt to use this unique command
construct in response to an unplanned incident. In this monograph,
Mr. Ryan Burke and Dr. Sue McNeil discuss the results of their
year-long case study examining the military response to Hurricane
Sandy under the dual status commander arrangement. In one of the
most thorough and comprehensive analyses of the subject to date,
Burke and McNeil first address the chronology of the storm and the
ensuing military actions.
During large-scale emergencies or disasters, National Guard forces
regularly operate alongside Active Component forces in response to
requests from civil authorities. In an attempt to promote unity of
effort between state-controlled National Guard and Active Component
forces, states and the Department of Defense agreed to use dual
status commanders-military commanders authorized by law to serve in
both state and federal statuses simultaneously-as the primary
command and control mechanism during unplanned incident response
operations. This unique command arrangement was used for the first
time in response to an unplanned incident during Hurricane Sandy in
October 2012. Though the arrangement worked well in many ways,
there are definitely opportunities for improvement.
An ideal textbook for classes on modern airpower and joint
operations.
