Summary of N. W. Collins's Grey Wars

Sinopse

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 MacDill Air Force Base is the center of America’s twenty-first-century wars. The forces are the central instrument of America’s military campaign, but they are often peripheral in national security decision-making.#2 We were at MacDill for a series of briefings on the 9/11 wars. We would visit the two combatant commands co-located there: U. S. Special Operations Command, or SOCOM, developed forces for global counterterrorism activities, unconventional operations, and crisis missions; and U. Central Command, or CENTCOM, organized geographically, directs forces deployed to the Middle East and Central Asia.#3 MacDill Air Force Base is the home of both SOCOM and CENTCOM, and is where they send their staff members to spend their two or three years assigned to them. It is not a place for training purposes.#4 The four-star foreign policy system in the United States is rooted in the Roman Empire’s pro-consuls, well-funded, semi-autonomous centers of American foreign policy.
