"[S]tringer provides a proactive solution to the new security requirements by suggesting that the U.S. Army should focus on developing specific kinds of brigade-size units, not general types, to conduct stability operations….[S]tringer erects a strong foundation for future decisions about how we should transform our Army to face domestic emergencies and emerging threats. His book could become the benchmark for future publications addressing these issues." - Military Review, "[S]tringer provides a proactive solution to the new security requirements by suggesting that the U.S. Army should focus on developing specific kinds of brigade-size units, not general types, to conduct stability operations....[S]tringer erects a strong foundation for future decisions about how we should transform our Army to face domestic emergencies and emerging threats. His book could become the benchmark for future publications addressing these issues." -- Military Review "Even though the US Army has already been transforming to brigade modular units of action for three years, the ideas in this book are important because Stringer proposes a brigade-centric approach that is quite different. He suggests that specialization and heterogeneity of formations will be more relevant to stability and homeland defence operations. The current Army transformation effort is underpinned by the generalization and homogeneity of like modules. What's more, the best practice proposals in this work are of value not only for American force developers, but also for Western and other militaries which will continue to meet irregular threats, at home and abroad, as this war continues for many years....This book is recommended for both civilian defence experts and military modernizers because it offers a useful and novel benchmarking approach, one that examines several militaries from Europe and elsewhere." -- RUSI Journal "Although the US military is well organized for conventional force-on- force engagements, Stringer argues that it is note organizationally prepared for military operations other than war in places like Grozny, Falluja, New Orleans, and New York City. He provides recommendations for the development of specialized, dedicate, and heterogeneous formations for specific missions under the umbrella of homeland security and smaller-scale contingency operations. His recommendations are based on identification and assessment of comparative units found in other military organizations around the world." -- Reference & Research Book News, "Even though the US Army has already been transforming to brigade modular units of action for three years, the ideas in this book are important because Stringer proposes a brigade-centric approach that is quite different.
