Summary/Abstract |
Recently, I had the opportunity to listen to the farewell remark of a senior Marine officer. Many of his thoughts were the sort of things one might expect of a departing officer- some advice, a little retrospective on his command, and the like. What colored his remarks the most, though, was nostalgia. Nostalgia for Marines of 20 years ago who did what they were told without question. Nostalgia for days of moral clarity in the military. Nostalgia for a time that the corps and the military were better.

Summary/Abstract |
The article discusses the efficiency of the new Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers of the U.S. Navy. The Ford class represents a ship that is expected to be the centerpiece of U.S. naval power for the rest of the 21st century. The ship will be launched in 2013 before moving her to a pier where construction and outfitting will continue. The current cost of the ship is estimated to be about $12.9 billion.

Summary/Abstract |
For the better part of the 20th century, manoeuvre held primacy in Western military thinking. Yet, modern technological advances, in today’s period of limited war, have suffocated the conditions and components that manoeuvre requires to exist. As a result, it is dead. Amos C Fox argues that, instead of lamenting this, the defence and security studies communities should celebrate manoeuvre’s death as a liberating event and begin looking at alternative theories and ideas for the prosecution of war.

Summary/Abstract |
President Obama's policy toward nuclear weapons has seriously undermined the flexibility and credibility of U.S. nuclear strategy. As a consequence of its desire to provide leadership on nuclear abolition, nuclear strategy under the Obama administration is shallow and unconvincing. This article seeks to put strategy back at the center of discourse on U.S. nuclear weapons policy. In this endeavor, and in contrast to Obama's stated stance, this article resurrects some important elements of Cold War strategic thinking on the subject. Warfighting, nuclear bargaining, and escalation dominance are particularly worthy of renewed attention.

Summary/Abstract |
This article links the prospects of growth in space tourism to the defense preparedness of the state. It is argued that any significant developments in space tourism attract the attention of strategic planners to check the feasibility of using the transportation platforms that support tourism for strategic purposes. It is likely that the way developments in rail, air, and maritime transportation revolutionized the method of warfighting, developments in the space travel sector will make their impact on warfare in the near future.

Summary/Abstract |
In the wake of the last half-century lay several ignominious Navy, and more broadly, Department of Defense acquisition programs that sought to transform contemporary warfighting platforms and paradigms. Although they attempted to meet largely unsubstantiated future threats, they neglected current short-term defense needs-a condition known in some circles as "next-war-itis." These missteps have come at an unacceptable cost to the taxpayer and have tarnished the reputation of the defense-acquisition community.
