***Do NOT use a China Example***
The PowerPoint template that MUST be used is attached to the documents. Slide 3 is not needed it just gives you an example of what Mind Mapping is. Only Slides 1, 2, and 4, are needed with information. The last slide should be cited sources.
Evaluate state or non-state actor with respect to their strategic ends and operational objectives.
Topic Guidance:
Must evaluate a state or non-state actor of national security concern in a specific snapshot of time. Political Aims/End-states change and objectives change, so you must be clear about who and when in time you are examining.
The national security concern can be to the United States or to any other actor. For example, you may examine Ukraine from the perspective of Russia, or evaluate Taiwan from the perspective of China.
This is an operational analysis. Therefore, you must view the operational environment from the lens of operations supporting strategic ends for the actor you selected.
Some potential topics from ancient and recent history:
– Rome or Carthage during the Punic Wars
– Korea or Japan during the Imjin Wars
– Civil War Union vs. Confederacy
– Napoleonic Wars
– Engaging and Defeating ISIL
Instructions:
-Mind Mapping a specific issue/topic- who are the players, networks, and issues, and what are your information gaps? List information gaps, possible critical requirements, and possible operational and strategic centers of gravity. Annotate systems (political systems, military systems, technological aspects, etc) using PMESII, STEMPLES, or both. You must depict how you used these techniques to brainstorm and research the topic.
-Perform Critical Factors Analysis according to the lecture and readings. Include the strategic endstate and operational objective, and the 3 main components of CFA: Center of Gravity, Critical Capabilities, Critical Requirements, and Critical Vulnerabilities. Make sure the logic is sound- the COG at the operational level of war must be an entity that does the CCs and achieves the objective.
Deliverable:
– Power Point slideshow using format provided.
– Citations and References (footnotes required on each slide that link to your references)
