Summary/Abstract |
How likely is it that a conflict between two combatants involving both kinetic and cyber operations would be an asymmetric one? And does the answer to that question depend on who the combatants are? In a kinetic scenario, the creation and "massing" of forces is often possible to observe. Whether it is the number of troops, warheads, or aircraft, one can physically monitor the activity. The buildup can be measured in days or weeks. Such a scenario involving state-of-the-art kinetic weaponry also needs a high level of expertise that only comes from years of education and training. One needs a well-funded organization to support this kind of activity.You can trace the kinetic matériel fairly accurately to its source, and the effects of a kinetic attack unfold over an observable period of time. You can watch and react to it. Defense is possible as long as you are sufficiently diligent and prepared with a response.

Summary/Abstract |
Choke…coffee going down my trachea instead of the esophagus. "What did you say, Commander?" The student, a Navy lieutenant commander, had just informed me that the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) was sending passed-over lieutenants to attend the Command and General Staff Officer Course (CGSOC) at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. "Not again," I thought. "And it's worse than before."

Summary/Abstract |
The article offers comments on the need for a strategy and policy to respond to cyber attack as it is allegedly impossible to block every cyber attack. It is suggested that the industries learn from the vulnerability of the networks attacked while understanding that there is no single defense against a sophisticated and constantly morphing offense. Comments on cyberspace having no boundaries and changing constantly and the need to formulate active defense are also included.

Summary/Abstract |
A career in Navy cryptology gives one great respect for the need to protect classified information. Intentional or accidental disclosures threaten intelligence sources and methods and endanger colleagues. The secrecy needed in special operations is no different; divulging facts about past missions, exposing tactics and capabilities, or simply drawing attention to the community increase the risks faced by operators, provide open-source intelligence to our adversaries, and limit tactical and strategic options.

Summary/Abstract |
In August, the Royal Navy released details of its next surface combatant, the Type 26, a modular ship. Announced plans are to build 13 of these vessels to replace the surviving 13 Type 23 frigates. All were intended primarily for antisubmarine warfare (ASW); the Type 23s were conceived as minimum towed-array ships to work in the Greenland-Iceland-UK (GIUK) Gap mainly in support of maritime patrol aircraft. With the end of the Cold War, this mission disappeared, and the Type 23s found themselves carrying out a wide variety of peacetime missions, such as drug interdiction in the Caribbean and anti-piracy work off Somalia. An incidental effect of the change from harsh GIUK waters to calmer ones is that the ships' hulls have lasted far longer than expected. (Cynics may suspect that the ships' longevity is really the consequence of successive governments' reluctance to buy replacements on a timely basis.)
