Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this unique book of informative essays explores issues such as professional military education, joint and combined operations, military leadership, the role of Congress in defense, intelligence support of military operations, international engagement, the importance of history for military professionals, coalition operations and technological innovation, lessons from Desert One to the Balkans, America's frontier wars and asymmetric conflict, and cultural awareness training for the armed forces.

This collection of articles by the Honorable Ike Skelton represents the author's deep and abiding commitment to the Armed Forces of the United States. As the ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, he has been an acknowledged leader in defense affairs in a lifetime of public service. As chairman of the panel on professional military education, Mr. Skelton helped implement the provisions of the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986, which had a profound impact on staff and war colleges. As the National Defense University has grown into a center of excellence in joint education, Congressman Skelton has been an active supporter of our programs. In recognition of his efforts, the university awarded him its first honorary degree, a doctorate in national security affairs, in 2001.
