Hal M. Friedman, "Blue versus Orange: The U.S. Naval War College, Japan, and the Old Enemy in the Pacific, 1945–1946," Eight Bells Book Lecture, Naval War College Museum, Aug. 21, 2014. This study closely analyzes war gaming at the Naval War College in the academic year 1945–46, as both a reflection and source of the U.S. Navy’s doctrinal and strategic responses to the experience of World War II—responses that would help the Navy shape its approach to the Cold War. The book describes in fascinating detail the practice of war gaming at the Naval War College in that era. ***** Disclaimer: The views expressed are the speaker's own and may not necessarily reflect the views of the Naval War College, the Department of the Navy, the Department of Defense, or any other branch or agency of the U.S. Government.

Naval War College graduates 1,606 joint, multinational leaders By Daniel S. Marciniak and Ezra J. Bolender, U.S. Naval War College Public Affairs June 19, 2015 NEWPORT, R.I. – One thousand, six hundred and six joint military, civilian and international students graduated from U.S. Naval War College (NWC), June 19, during a graduation ceremony held at Dewey Field, Naval Station Newport. On board to recognize graduates for their achievements was Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, Chief of Naval Operations. “It’s all about relationships,” Greenert told the students. “And in my view, we have the best relationship-building institution right here. This is our intellectual capitol. This place is interservice, interagency and international, and has a long history of cross-pollination.” Greenert went on to stress that the relationships of today will be key to dealing with the problems of tomorrow. “We have 63 different nations here, 64 if you include the United States, forging bonds. Nurture the friendships, and during the crises, you’ll have somebody you can depend on.” The graduating class included 316 U.S. resident students from the Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard and civilian government agencies and 118 international naval officers. Two of these students were Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Post and Air Force Lt. Col. Cameron Pringle, each graduating with the highest distinction in their class. "I had always wanted to come here ever since I heard about the NWC and what programs were offered," said Post, distinguished honor graduate of the College of Naval Command and Staff (CNCS). "It's a great way to earn a master's degree and be in an environment with peers from different services." Pringle agreed, adding that he now sees the role of joint and multinational cooperation more clearly. “The number one thing I can take away from my time here is an appreciation for the bigger picture and the role of other services and other nations in contributing to our national defense,” said Pringle, distinguished honor graduate of the College of Naval Warfare (CNW). “I will miss the day-to-day ability to compare ideas with officers of such a high caliber. I really want to thank the professors here for providing a world-class learning environment,” added Pringle. Additionally, 1,172 students graduated by completing coursework through the College of Distance Education (CDE). CDE is composed of a satellite office at Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., faculty-led evening seminars at 19 regional locations, a web-enabled program, and a CD-ROM based correspondence program. The top graduate of this year’s CDE class was Marine Capt. George M. Lamb, who completed his studies through the Fleet Seminar Program in Washington, D.C. He was also the recipient of the McGinnis Family Award for outstanding performance in nonresident education, which encompasses academic, professional and community service achievement. “It’s [CDE] a great opportunity for young officers and for mid-grade officers to structure some of the experiences they’ve had with academic rigor, and gain a better understanding of national security,” said Lamb. “It’s great to have some different viewpoints to challenge us. “I have gained an understanding of decision making and how national security decision making occurs, both at the top level and at the combat and command level. I feel like I understand the history, and that’s absolutely crucial in going forward in a military career.” U.S. students in residence attended either the CNW or CNCS. International officers attended either the Naval Command College or Naval Staff College. Depending on the program, U.S. students earned either a Master of Arts degree in National Security and Strategic Studies, accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, or NWC diploma. Military graduates also earned Joint Professional Military Education credit from the Department of Defense.

Today, President Bush Made Remarks At The Naval War College In Newport, Rhode Island. The President provided an update on the strategy the U.S. is pursuing in Iraq and outlined some of the indicators that will tell us if we are succeeding. General David Petraeus And Ambassador Ryan Crocker Are Leading A Strategy In Iraq The President Announced In January. The top priority of this strategy is helping the Iraqi government and its security forces protect their population from attack -- especially in Baghdad. America has sent reinforcements to help Iraqis secure their population by going after terrorists, insurgents, and militias that are inciting sectarian violence. The Last Of The "Surge" Reinforcements Arrived In Iraq Earlier This Month And The Full Surge Has Now Begun. The Goal Of Our Strategy Is To Help The Iraqis Make Progress Toward Reconciliation And Build A Free Nation That Respects The Rights Of Its People, Upholds The Rule Of Law, And Is An Ally In The War On Terror. We Are Taking The Fight To The Enemy Both In Baghdad And Surrounding Regions At This Beginning Stage Of The Offensive We Are Seeing Some Hopeful Signs. Within Baghdad, our military reports that despite an upward trend in May, sectarian murders in the capital are now down substantially from what they were in January. We are finding arms caches at more than three times the rate of a year ago. The total number of car bombings and suicide attacks has been down in May and June. Because U.S. and Iraqi forces are living among the people they secure, many Iraqis are now coming forward with information on where the terrorists are hiding. Just this week, our commanders reported the killing of two senior al Qaeda leaders north of Baghdad -- one who operated a cell that helped move foreign fighters into Iraq. General Petraeus recently described what he called "astonishing signs of normalcy" in Baghdad --professional soccer leagues, amusement parks, and vibrant markets. Operation Phantom Thunder Includes Offensive Operations Outside of Baghdad. This operation focuses on defeating al Qaeda terrorists, insurgents, and militias by denying them safe havens and breaking up their logistics, supply, and communications. Diyala - To the north of Baghdad, Iraqi and American troops have surged into Diyala Province and are fighting block by block to deny al Qaeda a major bastion in Baqubah. Southeast Of Baghdad - To the southeast of Baghdad, we are going after al Qaeda in safe havens they have established along the Tigris River. Anbar - To the west and northwest of Baghdad, Operation Phantom Thunder is going after al Qaeda's remaining outposts in Anbar Province. In Baghdad, The Additional Forces Have Allowed Us To Establish A Presence In Areas Where Terrorists And Insurgents Had Embedded Themselves Among The People . In the past two weeks, our troops in Baghdad have captured five militia cells. Places like Adamiyah, Rashid, and Mansour represent so-called sectarian fault lines -- locations where Shia extremists and al Qaeda terrorists are attempting to reignite sectarian violence through murder, kidnappings, and other violent activities. Until these areas and others like them are secured, the people of Baghdad cannot be protected. We Can Expect More Casualties As Our Forces Enter Enemy Strongholds That Have Never Been Challenged Before. We have suffered tragic losses and our troops face many other challenges, but General Petraeus and our commanders have a carefully laid out plan that needs time and support to succeed. Outsiders Continue To Exploit Sectarian Tension And Distrust In Iraq. Iran continues to supply deadly IED explosives that are being used against American forces and is providing training, funding, and weapons to Iraqi militants. Syria continues to be a transit station for al Qaeda and other foreign fighters on their way to Iraq.

This summer marks the centennial of the outbreak of World War I, perhaps the most transformative war in history. While the wars of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars harnessed national populations to the war effort in a way not previously seen since the emergence of the modern states system, WWI combined the mobilization of both populations and industrial power, enhanced by technology, to produce a most lethal form of warfare. WWI also redrew the map of Europe and created the modern Middle East, as it led to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Russian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, thereby unleashing nationalism the disruptive characteristics of which still plague us today. It also paved the way for the great ideological conflicts of the 20th century by unleashing the forces of state-based communism and fascism. To commemorate the outbreak of The Great War, FPRI and ROA will present a workshop offering presentations by three eminent scholars of the war. Michael Neiberg of the US Army War College will discuss the factors that led to the outbreak of the war. John Schindler of the US Naval War College will discuss the often overlooked role of Austria-Hungary in the war and the Eastern and Italian fronts. Kate Epstein of Rutgers University-Camden will discuss the role of pre-war British defense policy in the outbreak of the conflict. Mac Owens, editor of Orbis and professor at the Naval War College, will moderate the panel.

Author Max Brooks discusses his book World War Z, and the real idea it represents, at the U.S. Naval War College's 2009 Lecture of Opportunity. Dec. 16, 2009. How well do we learn from history? (2:52) Is the U.S. the world's policeman or the world's landlord? (5:19) Can the U.S. afford to isolate itself from the world stage? (9:50) Adm. Donitz: War of economics. (12:58) Inadvertent Chinese attack on southern California? (15:19) The real point of WWZ: The delicate threads of our fragile society. (22:34) We need leaders who can see connections. (24:32) Excerpt from book and official website... Eyewitness reports from the first truly global war... "I found 'Patient Zero' behind the locked door of an abandoned apartment across town. . . . His wrists and feet were bound with plastic packing twine. Although he'd rubbed off the skin around his bonds, there was no blood. There was also no blood on his other wounds. . . . He was writhing like an animal; a gag muffled his growls. At first the villagers tried to hold me back. They warned me not to touch him, that he was 'cursed.' I shrugged them off and reached for my mask and gloves. The boy's skin was . . . cold and gray . . . I could find neither his heartbeat nor his pulse." -Dr. Kwang Jingshu, Greater Chongqing, United Federation of China "'Shock and Awe'? Perfect name. . . . But what if the enemy can't be shocked and awed? Not just won't, but biologically can't! That's what happened that day outside New York City, that's the failure that almost lost us the whole damn war. The fact that we couldn't shock and awe Zack boomeranged right back in our faces and actually allowed Zack to shock and awe us! They're not afraid! No matter what we do, no matter how many we kill, they will never, ever be afraid!" -Todd Wainio, former U.S. Army infantryman and veteran of the Battle of Yonkers "Two hundred million zombies. Who can even visualize that type of number, let alone combat it? . . . For the first time in history, we faced an enemy that was actively waging total war. They had no limits of endurance. They would never negotiate, never surrender. They would fight until the very end because, unlike us, every single one of them, every second of every day, was devoted to consuming all life on Earth." -General Travis D'Ambrosia, Supreme Allied Commander, Europe ***** Disclaimer: The views expressed are the speaker's own and may not necessarily reflect the views of the Naval War College, the Department of the Navy, the Department of Defense, or any other branch or agency of the U.S. Government.

The U.S. Navy hopes that by 2020 that 50% of it's energy needs will be from renewable sources, this according to an article posted on Forbes.com back in July 2012. The obvious intent here to minimize vulnerability on the Navy's behalf as the more options they have when it comes to energy sources, the less dependent they become to any one supplier on a particular source of fuel. The strategies, and the initiatives that are employed by the Navy are well thought out, and for some on the surface it may not make sense, but when we look deeper it becomes clearer. And with the announcement of the Great Green Fleet in 2009 by Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Ray Mabus the Navy began this historic initiative. We're excited about this because in our country's history it has always been the initiatives of our governments offices that have sparked further innovations, and have pushed us forward. Offices such has NASA has provided numerous positive innovations that are now common place in our society that have created many new jobs. And we see the Navy's embrace of bio-fuels as a similar example, one that will create positive change, and create new jobs. Joining us today on the Green America Hometown Tour to shed more light on the Navy's Green Fleet, and a bit on Newport's Naval War College is Doug Duchame, Assistant Research Professor War Gaming Department U.S. Naval War College.
