Improving Protection of Humanitarian Organizations in Armed Conflict

/reports/2022/03/improving-protection-of-humanitarian-organizations-in-armed-conflict

We leverage CNA’s work on civilian harm, including attacks on humanitarian organizations, to identify four broad steps militaries can take to minimize these tragic incidents and improve protection of these organizations.

processes, simplifying the work of militaries to integrate it into military systems and processes and creating a stronger foundation for effective deconfliction. This system can also be used to strengthen CIV- MIL coordination more broadly. Military deconfliction is intended to leverage communication with and information regarding humanitarian organizations in order to avoid tragic attacks ... of the no-strike list (NSL). When deconfliction processes fail, identification of humanitarian organizations can serve as a safety net, averting inadvertent attacks. Yet history shows that such identification

Evolution of the Military Healthcare System

/reports/2000/evolution-of-the-military-healthcare-system

In recent years, as the military medical departments have imple­ mented the legislatively mandated TRICARE program, the benefi­ ciary population has voiced concerns regarding the perceived deterioration of its health benefit. The military medical departments also have expressed concerns, but of a different nature, relating to Congress's enhancement of the benefit over time without the provi­ sion of appropriate funds to support the changes. The Navy believes that it can prepare more informed future budget strategies by care­ fully examining the evolution of the current military health care ben­ efit and determining the implications of these changes on overall health care costs. In this paper, we document the legislative and regulatory evolution of the military health care benefit since 1956-the year that Congress originally authorized the offering of civilian health care coverage to active duty dependents. We also determine the extent to which major changes in the benefit have contributed to changes in program costs. We begin our analysis with an overview of the initial, contemporary, military health care benefit (or baseline benefit) as authorized by Congress. Next, we focus on the specific changes to the benefit that have affected the following features over time: who is eligible for cov­ erage, the range of covered services, the rate of payment for health services, and program administration. Finally, we examine military health care program costs over time to determine the extent to which major program changes have affected costs.

coming in from the cold: The Cold War at Sea

/our-media/podcasts/coming-in-from-the-cold/2

In this episode of Coming in from the Cold, Bill welcomes Rear Admiral Mike McDevitt (Ret.) and Commander Steve Wills (Ret.) to discuss the Maritime Strategy of the 1980s. McDevitt and Wills recall some of the key players surrounding the development of the Maritime Strategy. This includes CNA analysts who used open-source data to hypothesize that the goal of the Soviet Navy was to protect their ballistic missile submarines. Additionally, they point to Secretary of the Navy John Lehman, who helped convince the Reagan administration that a 600-ship fleet was necessary to challenge the Soviet Navy. Finally, the group discusses the key role that perception played in the Maritime Strategy, enhancing deterrence by reinforcing in the Soviet mind the idea that they could not win a war with the United States.
