EVOLUTION OF WARFARE
Time:  WF  0730-0900
Office Address:  617 Haven St.
Phone:  491-3324/3325
Expected Enrollment:  10

COURSE DESCRIPTION:  Warfare has been one instrument of political
action throughout history.  Warfare has not necessarily "evolved"
through recorded history, but rather it has been rediscovered and
perfected by successive nations and by each generation within
nations.  People, past and present, have been able to draw on the
military experiences of other nations in shaping their own
philosophies and techniques of warfare.  Success or failure in wars
has determined the course of history in all areas of our society
and the world.  Therefore, for good or bad, it is doubtful one
could find a more relevant area of study.

AMPHIBIOUS WARFARE
Time:  WF  0730-0900
Office Address:  617 Haven St.
Phone:  491-3324/3325
Expected Enrollment:  10

COURSE DESCRIPTION:  Military strategists and tacticians agree that
an amphibious assault is one of the most difficult forms of
military operation to execute.  This assessment is premised upon
the fact that an amphibious assault force, in order to be
successful, must be capable of accomplishing the transition from
static seaborne unit to effective land force.  This requires the
complete transfer of combat power from ship to shore-frequently
against a well coordinated enemy defense.  Despite the great
difficulty, history is full of instances in which an amphibious
assault proved to be a deciding factor in an overall military
strategy.  In this course, we will examine specific campaigns in
order to trace the development of modern amphibious doctrine.  In
that sense, it will be a history course.  However, later in the
course, after understanding the doctrine, you will have the
opportunity to analyze an amphibious operation and present your
findings in class.  In addition, we will ultimately raise questions
about the viability of the amphibious doctrine in today's high-tech
environment.
