  • Compare Russia’s revanchist justifications for seizure of terrain in Ukraine and Central Europe to Nazi Germany’s justifications used to seize territory in Eastern Europe in the lead up to World War II. Assess current and historical case studies of the international community’s attempts to prevent war by appeasement (e.g., Chamberlain in Munich).
  • Compare and contrast Imperial Japanese justifications and actions used for seizure of terrain leading up to World War II to current claims asserted by Communist China for justifying seizure of terrain also claimed by its neighbors. These nations include Russia, Japan, India, Vietnam, and the Philippines. How are the Chinese planning for multidimensional global campaigns to support territorial expansion and territorial influence?
  • From a U.S. military perspective, what are the greatest security threats to the United States? How specifically is the United States preparing to mitigate those threats employing the elements on national power?
  • Using case studies, discuss evidence of employment of irregular warfare (IW) using instruments short of large-scale military violence to achieve strategic objectives. Is there evidence that states as well as nonstate actors are conducting IW against the United States? Discuss evidence of cooperation among state or nonstate actors in such efforts.
  • The United States and the Americas—assess the emerging actors, roles and relationships in North, South, and Central America. Is Mexico our friend or foe, or disinterested neighbor? Is Mexico a staging ground for malevolent actors conducting IW against the United States?
  • Do China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela have “Achilles’ heels”? What are their centers of gravity? If each has one, how can it best be attacked/exploited?
  • What do China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela view as the United States’ “Achilles’ heel,” or center of gravity? How specifically are they attacking it?
  • What is the current role of the U.S. Armed Forces in Africa? Far East? Middle East? What should it be?
