Deceiving Iraq in Operation DESERT STORM
CSI Press eBook
By Donald P. Wright, Ph. D.
This is an electronic book made available digitally in an HTML format.
Published: 2019
Dr. Don Wright’s analysis of coalition deception operations in Operation Desert Storm reveals time-honored techniques that led directly to overwhelming victory at minimal cost. Though Wright argues that it was impossible to conceal GEN Norman Schwarzkopf’s decisive “Left Hook” until the moment of implementation, the successful deception campaign pinned Iraqi forces in Kuwait long enough for Allied aircraft to gain air supremacy over the battlefield, preventing any reactive deployment. Thus, Deception in the Desert offers a model case study for a successful deception campaign that greatly facilitated the success of large-scale combat operations.
Eastern Europe, Russia, and the Development of Modern Warfare

By Wesley P. White
This is an electronic book made available digitally in an HTML format.
Published: 2019
Wesley White's examination of Russia's cyber capabilities illustrates their increasingly effective methods in conducting real world operations and, simultaneously, obfuscating those actions. "The Cyber Crucible" offers an increasingly relevant lesson in Russia's continued evolution of modern warfare in the digital age. By following Russia's actions through Estonia, Georgia, and Ukraine via a crawl-walk-run framework, White's essay offers insights into where US military training scenarios might best prepare for international conflict via a cyber toolkit.
Getting the 4th Infantry Division to Iraq in 2003
CSI Press eBook
By Colonel (Retired) Christopher D. Croft and Kelvin D. Crow
This is an electronic book made available digitally in an HTML format.
Published: 2019
This account tells the story of how in early 2003 the leadership of the 4th Infantry Division - in the midst of deploying the division - was forced to make dramatic changes to the deployment process. When the government of Turkey decided to deny US forces access to its ports and permission for the 4th ID to transit its territory to attack Iraq, Major General Raymond Odierno, the division commander, redirected the division through the Suez Canal and to Kuwait. As this epub recounts, the key to this successful deployment was the division's organizational culture, especially its logistician's ability to plan for all contingencies.
