Life in the “Gray Zone”: observations for contemporary strategists / Wirtz, James J   Journal Article
Wirtz, James J Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The term “Gray Zone” is gaining in popularity as a way of describing contemporary security challenges. This article describes the “short-of-war” strategies – the fait accompli, proxy warfare, and the exploitation of ambiguous deterrence situations, i.e. “salami tactics” – that are captured by the term and offers several explanations for why state and non-state actors are drawn to these strategies. The analysis highlights why defense postures based on deterrence are especially vulnerable to the short-of-war strategies that populate the “Gray Zone.” The article concludes by suggesting how defense officials might adapt defense policies to life in the “Gray Zone.”

Sun Tzu and Salami tactics: Vladimir Putin and military persuasion in Ukraine, 21 February-18 March 2014 / Cimbala, Stephen J   Journal Article
Cimbala, Stephen J Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract Vladimir Putin used a composite of ancient and modern methods of military persuasion in first destabilizing, and then annexing, Crimea in February and March of 2014. Putin's use of military persuasion through Russian and proxy forces enabled him to annex Crimea and to set the stage for further imposition of Russia's will on Ukraine's eastern provinces. Russia's determination to resist excessive Westernization by Ukraine, especially the possibility of Ukrainian membership in NATO, exceeded the willingness of the U.S. and its allies to reverse Putin's gains in Crimea.
