In “Biotechnology: An Era of Hopes and Fears,” Douglas Lewis discusses the benefits and dangers of rapid biotechnical advances including weaponization. Which of the following conclusions best reflects the author’s analyses? - There is no “magic bullet” or novel approach for how to keep up with a rapidly evolving biological capability that is only one of many potential threats facing the nation. In American Aerospace Power: Choosing to Lead in the Twenty-First Century , Foster et al. provide a very short contextual overview of the strategic situation as it pertains to technology and enunciate interest in a third offset while declaring that “unfortunately, there is no silver bullet as there was with nuclear weapons, space, or stealth.” What is a key component the authors list for building a credible a third offset strategy? - The third offset must be able to undercut the counter-invention strategies being pursued around the world. In “The Urgent Necessity to Reverse Service AirLand Roles,” Price Bingham argues that AirLand Battle concepts need to be substantially updated. Why does he believe it to be such a difficult endeavor to effect a service role reversal to the existing AirLand Battle concepts? - All of the factors listed contribute to the difficulties in effecting a change for the roles the services play in the existing AirLand battle concept. In the thesis paper, Cyber Capabilities for Global Strike in 2035 , Dean Clothier discusses the integrated use of cyber warfare as part of the Global Strike concept in two example scenarios. Which best reflects the author’s main points of emphasis? - The author’s scenarios emphasize how cyber warfare can disrupt potential adversary targets, whether the enemy is a state or a nonstate actor. In “Iran’s Path Dependent Military Doctrine,” Erik Olson describes Iranian force structure as corralling its doctrine and how the U.S. can leverage a cost-imposing strategy to counter Iraq’s military doctrine that remains focused on ballistic missile development and procurement. Which is a cost-imposing measure that Olson proposes? - Accelerated creation of a regional ballistic missile-defense architecture, integrating sensors, and command-and-control networks with national missile defenses. In “The Urgent Necessity to Reverse Service AirLand Roles,” Price Bingham argues that AirLand Battle concepts need to be substantially updated. What’s the main reason Bingham believes a service role reversal is necessary and appropriate?

- Role reversal, based on new technical capabilities, would give the armed forces the ability to defeat an opposing mechanized army faster with far less risk to U.S. personnel and with less national resources. In “Iran’s Path Dependent Military Doctrine,” Strategic Studies Quarterly , Erik Olson describes Iranian force structure as corralling its doctrine. Which is part of Iran’s hybrid military doctrine as discussed by Olson? - Identifying the United States as the nation’s primary security threat. In Navy Lasers, Railgun, and Hypervelocity Projectile: Background and Issues for Congress , Ronald O’Rourke identifies the advantages and limitations of shipboard laser weapons that have been the subject of Navy research for many years. Reflecting on this list of advantages and limitations, what response best characterizes the weapon system? - Shipborne laser systems appear especially suited for limited conflict and deterrence scenarios that require precision, flexibility, the ability to control escalation, and limit collateral damage In “Iran’s Path Dependent Military Doctrine,” Erik Olson describes Iranian force structure as corralling its doctrine and how the U.S. can leverage a cost-imposing strategy to counter Iraq’s military doctrine that remains focused on ballistic missile development and procurement. Which is a cost-imposing measure that Olson proposes? - Accelerated creation of a regional ballistic missile-defense architecture, integrating sensors, and command-and-control networks with national missile defenses. In “Breaking Through with Your Breakthrough: How Science-Based Communication Can Accelerate Innovation and Technological Advantage,” the authors considers ways in which revolutionary ideas can be assisted toward becoming reality by using the lexicon of science-based communication. What do the authors recommend for consideration? -Effective communication strategies must translate technical points into messages that address stakeholders’ concerns and views. In “Wargaming the Third Offset Strategy,” Norwood and Jensen assert that wargaming must play a significant part in the vetting and evaluation of such concepts. What do they envision to make wargaming an offset gamechanger? - New experimentation and conceptual development campaigns should harness the power of crowdsourcing and incorporate ideas from across the Services, academia, and the private sector.

In “Liberating Cyber Offense,” James McGhee identifies and discusses what the author considers to be obstacles to the correct employment of cyber offensive power. Which statement applies to the conduct of cyber operations? - The current chain of authorization for executing a cyber action is too centralized and more authority should be given to commanders. In American Aerospace Power: Choosing to Lead in the Twenty-First Century , Foster et al. provide a very short contextual overview of the strategic situation as it pertains to technology and enunciate interest in a third offset while declaring that “unfortunately, there is no silver bullet as there was with nuclear weapons, space, or stealth.” What is a key component the authors list for building a credible a third offset strategy? - The third offset must be able to undercut the counter-invention strategies being pursued around the world.

In “Into the Future,” Jeremy Black considers the implications of technology in war regarding conflict and the cyber domain and the balance of security and resources. In his analyses, he talks about weapons and technologies and how they are developed, adopted plus maintained to fulfill a purpose in a changing global environment. Which characterizes his predictions about that environment? - The increase in population will create pressures on key resources and will also witness combat focused on urban areas that will create a congested battle space. In the Naval War College recording, “Lecture of Opportunity Max Brooks: World War Z,” Brooks explains the underlying ideas about future strategic and security concerns that inspired the popular novel and movie World War Z and outlines the approaches and characteristics that he argues will be useful in combating complex future security challenges. Which most accurately represents the essence of Brooks’ lecture?
