| Summary/Abstract |
For 74 days in mid-1999, India waged an intense war against intruding Pakistani forces on the Indian side of the Line of Control dividing Kashmir in the Himalayas. The Indian Air Force (IAF) was a key contributor to India's eventual victory in that war. Among other things, the IAF's combat performance showed how the skillful application of air-delivered firepower, especially if unmatched by the other side, can shorten and facilitate the outcome of an engagement that might otherwise have persisted indefinitely. It also showed that a favorable position in the conventional balance remains strategically useful even in conditions of mutual nuclear deterrence.

| Summary/Abstract |
For more than two decades, the pursuit of "lessons learned" from major combat encounters has been an area of sustained activity within the defense establishments of the United States and its principal allies around the world. Yet as often as not, such efforts have, at best, yielded lessons merely indicated and identified, since they cannot be said to have been truly learned until their prescriptions have been accepted and assimilated into an armed service's doctrine, force development, and operating procedures. In one notable instance in late December 2008 and early January 2009, however, an exemplar of lessons learned and incorporated was offered by the twenty-three-day campaign conducted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) against the radical Islamist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip. That performance came on the heels of the IDF's less impressive showing more than two years before against the Iranian-sponsored terrorist movement Hezbollah during Israel's 2006 war in Lebanon. By any measure, Israel's comparative success in Gaza was a direct result of teachings gained and duly incorporated into the IDF's combat repertoire by Israeli civilian and military leaders in response to their earlier misadventure in Lebanon.

| Summary/Abstract |
From 12 July until 15 August 2006, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) waged a
thirty-four-day war against the Iranian terrorist proxy organization Hezbollah
in response to a well-planned raid by a team of Hezbollah combatants from
southern Lebanon into northern Israel. That raid resulted in the abduction of
two IDF soldiers, who had then been taken back into Lebanon for use as hostages.1
Code-named Operation CHANGE OF DIRECTION, the greatly escalated
counteroffensive that the raid prompted has since been widely regarded as the
IDF's most inconclusive combat performance in Israel's history. Waged under
the direction of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his minister of defense at the
time, Amir Peretz, the campaign was dominated by precision standoff attacks
by the Israel Air Force (IAF) and by IDF artillery and battlefield rockets, with
no significant commitment of conventional ground troops until the last days of
fighting before a cease-fire went into effect.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article was first written in 1976 as a classified RAND Corporation input into a major study that was commissioned by then-Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger to develop a comprehensive, all-source classified history of the Soviet-American strategic arms competition from 1945 to 1972. The intent of the original document was to outline the key internal and external factors that shaped the strategic policy choices of the Brezhnev regime, address the broad strategic objectives that guided those choices, consider the characteristics and deployment rationales of the third-generation ICBM programs that most visibly dominated them, and highlight the principal features of the force development style that they seemed to represent. The document was recently declassified by the Department of Defense and approved for public release in response to a request submitted to the Department under the Freedom of Information Act. It is being published now as it originally appeared, with only cursory editing for style and flow, in order to place the now-declassified document into the public domain as a retrospective account of an important chapter in the history of the cold war based on the best information that was available at the time it was written. Because any value it may have today as a contribution to knowledge about Soviet strategic activities during the cold war stems solely from the perspective that it offered at the time it was originally written, no attempt has been made to amplify or improve on its observations based on information and insights that have subsequently become available.
