Summary/Abstract |
This study delves into the issues of the U.S. Army's adaptive capacity in the Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) Phase IV. The author borrows the concept of organizational adaptive capacity while arguing that adaptive capacity framework can provide coherent theoretical explanations for the U.S. Army's unsatisfactory performance in OIF Phase IV. The author, then, tries to apply the analysis of U.S. Army's experience to the Republic of Korea (ROK) Army. The ROK Army has tried to follow the U.S. Army from doctrine to weapon systems and the author sees that there is a possibility that the ROK Army will be faced with similar challenges that the U.S. Army had to deal with. Thus, the author argues that drawing theoretical implications and lessons from U.S. experiences should be regarded important tasks for the ROK Army.

Summary/Abstract |
This article introduces Adriana Cavarero's concept of “horrorism” into International Relations (IR) discussions of the relationship between war and citizenship. Horrorism refers to a violent violation of vulnerable humans who are defined by their simultaneous openness to the other's care and harm. With its motif of physical and ontological denigration, horrorism offends the human condition by making its victims gaze upon and/or experience repugnant violence and bodily disfiguration precisely when the vulnerable are most in need of care. The article argues that horrorism complicates disciplinary understandings of contemporary violence which tend to see terrorism, but not horrorism, in war and which generally neglect to theorize how violence—and particularly horrorism—is embedded in, and exchanged, through state/citizen relationships. To elaborate these arguments, the article analyses three pieces of war art: Jeremy Deller's “Baghdad, 5 March 2007,” Donald Gray's mural, “Operation Iraqi Freedom,” and a still image from Cynthia Weber's film, “Guadalupe Denogean: ‘I am an American.’” By taking the War on Terrorism as their subject, these pieces demonstrate how war makes visible the terror and horror in state/citizen relationships. The article concludes by reconsidering how encountering signs of horrorism might broaden our frames of war and further our empathic vision toward the precarious victims of horrorism or, alternatively, might confirm the patriotic allegiances of imperial citizens in ways that further bind their citizenship to state political and economic violence and narrow the scope for genuine empathy.

Summary/Abstract |
This comment addresses the Rohlfs-Sullivan analysis titled: 'The Cost-Effectiveness of Armored Tactical Wheeled Vehicles [TWVs] for Overseas US Army Operations.' The analysis evaluated policies to replace Type 1 and 2 TWVs with Type 3s. There is no evidence the analysis factored in fatality causes, fatality relationships to vehicles, or compared survivability of vehicles. Furthermore, it did not note when Type 3 TWVs were requested, when they impacted fatalities, or TWV use policies. It also assumed Type 3 TWVs prompted negative unit behaviors while discounting evidence of positive behaviors. In summary, the analysis is incomplete and should be revised.

Summary/Abstract |
Spring 2013 contains a bittersweet anniversary for most Iraqis. Although it marks ten years since the war that removed Saddam Hussein from power and ended his bloody rule, it also signifies the beginning of years of violence and instability. The war itself has various names and descriptions: some call it an "invasion," others a "liberation," each depending on their political leanings and convictions. A significant number of Iraqis at first believed it was indeed a war of liberation but later turned to calling it an "occupation" as the situation further deteriorated. Even the U.S. Army changed the name of the war: from 2003-2009 it was Operation Iraqi Freedom, but in September 2010 it was renamed Operation New Dawn to reflect efforts by U.S. and Iraqi politicians to end one stage of the war and move toward withdrawal of U.S. troops. Known to many simply as the 2003 War, its ramifications are still felt in every aspect of Iraq's existence today.
