订刊热线年年热

“主任有部订刊热线电话,一头连着我们的基层单位,另一头连着《中国民兵》编辑部。”这是南阳军分区宣保科长在一次订刊用刊经验交流会上说的一句话。 七年前,我从济南军区机关调任南阳军分区政治部任主任。上任伊始,我到一个边远山乡调查“青年民兵之家”建设情况,一民兵好奇地问:“国家正规军都精简一百万,咱们还抓民兵工作干啥?”“这问题问得好！”我在称赞的同时,并没正面回答他,而是反问一句:“你看《中国民兵》杂志了吗?”我的意思是说,那上     

向孙子学习——美国军人看《孙子兵法》

毫无疑问,中国古代军事家孙武的《孙子兵法》堪称兵法经典,军事圣经。目前,《孙子兵法》至少有6种英译本,你可以在世界上最大的书店里随时看见它的身影。在西方军事学领域,《孙子兵法》的影响仅次于经常被引用却极少被深入研究的《战争论》(卡尔·冯·克劳塞维茨著)。《孙子兵法》英译本的译者罗杰·埃姆斯对《孙子兵法》推崇备至,将它称为“当今世界军事战略领域最重要的经典著作。”

谋与道美国对中国大战略的解读

1996年,美国未来学家奈斯比特在其《亚洲大趋势》一书中预言．中国必然会成为一个世界强国,这不是会不会发生的问题,而是什么时候发生的问题。他预测,中国将在各个领域跃居世界前列,重新塑造世界的面貌,世界的游戏规则将不再由西方国家所主导。而国际关系大师级人物沃勒斯坦则断言．美国在世界体系中的衰落是“结构性”的,是“不可逆转的”．这种衰落既是经济上的,也是政治和文化上的。这两种观点此消彼长,正好构成了中美未来走向的鲜明对比。

呼唤“高、大、全”——由反腐影视剧误区说起

“高、大、全”这一词组对于中国人并不陌生 ,因其忽视创作规律而遭垢病 ,与“三突出”一道成为被抵触、声讨的代表 ,在文学史乃至政治史上写下不光彩的一页。然而 ,“高、大、全”这种人格特征真的过时了吗 ?今天 ,反腐题材作品代表的主流文化正呈方兴未艾之势 ,央视更不失时机地推出《生死抉择》、《当关》、《大雪无痕》、《忠诚》、《大法官》等一系列影视作品。毋庸置疑 ,这对于张扬社会风气 ,反映百姓呼声 ,震慑贪官宵小 ,意义非常。可是这些作品在不知不觉间流露出了许多问题 :贪官官位越来越大 ,赃款搂得越来越多 ,聚敛手段越来越狠…     

Putin – the masked nemesis of the strategy of ambiguity

Recent events demonstrate the complex and adaptive approach employed by Russia to reassert influence in Europe. The changing face of Russia’s strategy commenced in 2007 when it launched a crippling cyber-attack against Estonia. This was followed by a large Russian conventional attack against Georgia in 2008, occupying two large areas of the nation. 2014 witnessed the Russian annexation of Crimea where in just a week, Russia seized control of Crimea “without firing a shot.” The annexation of Crimea was rapidly followed by a Russian inspired and led subversive war in eastern Ukraine. The common thread among these diverse Russian operations is its use of ambiguity to confound and confuse decision makers in the West.     

India's counter-insurgency experience: the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy

The Indian Army, a force trained primarily for conventional warfare, has been engaged in internal counter-insurgency operations since the 1950s. Despite such a long innings on a counter-insurgency mode, little attention has been accorded within military circles to doctrinal innovation for waging sub-conventional warfare in India's democratic political context. At best, the Army continues to view counter-insurgency duty as secondary to its primary duty of defending India from external conventional threats. By conceptualizing a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’, this article aims to fill this critical doctrinal gap in India's military policy. The author argues that a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’ based on democratic political culture, measured military methods, special counter-insurgency forces, local social and cultural awareness and an integrative nation-building approach will result in positive handling of India's internal security problems. The author utilizes India's counter-insurgency experiences in Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab, and Operation ‘Sadhbhavana’ in Jammu and Kashmir as illustrative empirical indicants in order to validate the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy.

An Unlikely Alliance: Portuguese and South African Airpower in Angola, 1968–1974

The war that Portugal was obliged to fight in Africa began in 1961 and immediately stretched the resources of its armed forces. Nowhere was this thinness more apparent than in policing the vast territory of Angola. The east and southeast of Angola were particularly vulnerable, as the area was a vast, sparsely populated region characterised by enormous featureless plains or chanas covered in tall grass and broken by an extensive river system and mountainous forests. The only military solution to policing these immense spaces was aviation and specifically the helicopter that could carry troops into battle, protect them with a gunship and bring them home when the operation was concluded. The immediate problem for the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa or FAP) in Angola and elsewhere was a scarcity of helicopters. The solution was an alliance with South Africa, which had a strong inventory of Alouette IIIs, to help in policing the east. This move was likewise in the interest of South Africa, as its threat came from Zambia through south-eastern Angola. This article examines the strategic and tactical development of this unusual, cross-cultural alliance and the symbiotic relationship that resulted in destruction of the enemies of both in Angola.     

Panjwai: a tale of two COINs in Afghanistan

The US Army has two approaches to counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan. One is hard, or combat-focused, and the other is soft, or development-focused. This study examines two US Army task forces deployed to Panjwai District, Afghanistan from 2012 to 2013. CTF 4-9 and 1-38 offer a meaningful comparison because they pursued these contrasting approaches among the same population and against the same enemy at the same time and place. The study compares each unit’s approach and finds that neither approach was successful absent the other. The article concludes by recommending further research into combining the approaches at the operational level.

A Sign of Victory?: ‘Scottish Swords’ and Other Weapons in the Possession of the ‘Auld Innemie’

Many late medieval documents, notably inventories of arms and armour, of Englishmen contain references to ‘Scottish swords’ and other weapons. What did the compilers of these documents mean when they described a weapon as ‘Scottish’? How did such weapons come to be in the possession of these men? This article will attempt to explain this phenomenon drawing on primary documentary sources and surviving material culture from Glasgow Museums’ collections and others, as well as artworks from the period.

The practice and theory of British counterinsurgency: the histories of the atrocities at the Palestinian villages of al-Bassa and Halhul, 1938–1939

This article details two largely unreported atrocities by British forces operating against Arab rebels during the Arab revolt, 1936–9, at the Palestinian villages of al-Bassa and Halhul. It then examines the military-legal system that underpinned and authorised British military forces operating in aid of the civil power, suggesting that the law in place at the time allowed for a level of reprisals and punitive actions, such as happened at al-Bassa and Halhul. The article does not conclude that the law allowed for atrocities but it does argue that it gave a basic form and understanding to an operational method that was brutal and could lead to atrocities. It thus tests the idea in much of the literature on counterinsurgency that the British were restrained and used minimum force when compared to other colonial and neo-colonial powers fighting insurgents.
