The lacking Russian progress in war in Ukraine is often attributed to failing logistics, yet the logistics and its eventually failure is not explained. The purpose with this paper is to present some logistics principles that can be used to describe the Russian way of logistics planning, and to infer whether failing logistics slowed down the military operations or if failing operational conduct led to revised operational plans that could not be sustained logistically. The initial Russian Course of Action (COA) to take Kyiv was probably well supported logistically. When the COA failed, contingency plans most likely did not take into consideration the logistical challenges of supporting another type of operation, partly because of the logistics vacuum resulting from the preceding exercises. In the southeast the logistical concept seems to build on the echelon principle, which fits poorly with the lack of operational success. Adding to this is successful Ukrainian tactics of targeting Russian logistics resources which significantly reduces the Russian fighting power. This assessment is based on openly accessible information about the Russian campaign. Reporting from an ongoing war poses challenges of verifying data. Both warring parties and other stakeholders pursue their own interest through strategic communication. Yet, by combining different sources we believe that our findings are quite robust. For future research, archival studies both in Ukraine and Russia, combined with interviews with logistics personnel at both sides would add new dimensions to the research. We realise though that such data sources will not be accessible for quite some time.

Malagasy is a language with non-culminating accomplishments. There is, however, a specific prefix (maha-), which appears to entail culmination. Moreover, verbs prefixed with maha- display a range of interpretations: causative, abilitive, ‘manage to’, and unintentionality. This paper accounts for these two aspects of this prefix with a unified semantic analysis. In particular, maha- encodes double prevention. The double prevention configuration is associated with a circumstantial modal base, which leads to culminating readings in the past and future, but not the present tense. The embedding of double prevention in a force-theoretic framework leads to a more fine-grained theory of causation, which the Malagasy data show to have empirical relevance.

The article is devoted to identifying the genre features of the works of the prose writer and playwright T. Kaipbergenov. In the article we focused on the history of the drama in the Karakalpak literature of the twentieth century and the study of its development history by scientists. We also noted that the drama in the Karakalpak literature originated in the 20s of the twentieth century, and the very first playwrights were K.Auezov, S.Mazhitov, A.Otepov and reviewed their dramatic works. We considered the features of the study and the objects of study of such researchers as K. Ayymbetov, T. Allanazarov, T. Bayandiyev, K. Sultanov, and in the years of independence K. Kamalov, S. Allayarov, K. Kurambaev, J. Esenov, O Satbayev, B.Tursinov, I.Oteuliyev, Zharimbetov and others. The prominent figure in Karakalpak literature, T. Kaipbergenov, as a publicist, prose writer and playwright, made a great contribution to the 20th century Karakalpak literature, becoming famous for his works all over the world. He played a major role in the comprehensive development of our literature, writing, along with prose works, such dramatic works as “Last Name”, “Aidos Baba”, and “Sakhra Bulbuli”. Therefore, this article is devoted to the study of ideas and themes, genre features and the system of images of these works, who have made a great contribution to the development of Karakalpak literature.

Being a professional is the desire of every student but few finish their studies and it is due to different factors. The present investigation was developed with the objective of determining the number of students of the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the National University of Asuncion that culminated the Administration Career - Curricular Plan 2001, in the morning shift during the period 2011 - 2016, for the the methodology used was mixed because qualitative and quantitative information was linked, applying different sources and techniques of data selection. This study raised and analyzed the problem, at the same time exposed the levels of the work in a descriptive and explanatory way because it tries to demonstrate the causes by which the students enrolled in 2011 did not finish their university studies in the 2016 period.Based on the observations and measurements, the main finding was the labor insertion factor of the students during the first years of study, so many of them moved to the shift late or night, as a result, the decrease in the amount of the students of the morning shift of the Administration Course. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain and strengthen the mechanisms available to the School of Administration in order to retain students. It is fundamental to mention that the wealth of the results obtained will serve the School of Administration for other research works of greater importance., Ser profesional es el anhelo de todo estudiante pero son pocos los que concluyen sus estudios y eso se da por diferentes factores. La presente investigación se desarrolló con el objetivo de determinar la cantidad de estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad Nacional de Asunción que culminaron la Carrera de Administración – Plan Curricular 2001, en el turno mañana durante el periodo 2011 - 2016, para lo cual la metodología utilizada fue mixta porque se vincularon informaciones cualitativas y cuantitativas, aplicándose diferentes fuentes y técnicas de selección de datos. Este estudio planteó y analizó el problema, al mismo tiempo expuso los niveles del trabajo de manera descriptiva y explicativa pues trata de demostrar las causas por las cuales los discentes inscriptos en el 2011 no concluyeron sus estudios universitarios en el periodo 2016. En base a las observaciones y mediciones, el principal hallazgo fue el factor inserción laboral de los estudiantes durante los primeros años de estudio, por lo que muchos de ellos se trasladaron al turno tarde o noche, en consecuencia, surgió la disminución de la cantidad de los alumnos del turno mañana de la Carrera de Administración. Por tanto, se recomienda mantener y fortalecer los mecanismos con que cuenta la Escuela de Administración a fin de retener a los educandos. Es fundamental comentar que la riqueza de los resultados obtenidos servirá a la Escuela de Administración para otros trabajos de investigación o estudios de casos de mayor envergadura.

The branch Logistics is often given lower priority during field exercises when combat units are supposed to be trained. In wars, conflicts and operations do the interest increase remarkably of being delivered ammunition, fuel and food. Without logistical support it is hard to advance on the scene, but is it even so hard that the lack of logistics can generate the own culmination? The purpose with this Bachelor’s thesis is to show the logistics importance during the planning and transaction phases for an operation. On June 6 1944, the Allied forces invaded Normandy, in order to defeat Hitler’s imperium and reach the end of the Second World War. The operation was called Overlord, and was both in the number of men and combat power, as well as, in a logistical manner an enormous achievement. In consideration of answering the research questions, the author has by literature studies analyzed operation Overlord and its impact on the culmination of the Second World War. Research questions: How does logistics affect the culminating point in warfare? What logistical maneuvers during Operation Overlord can be referred to reasons for the Second World War’s culmination point? The results manifests how the logistical maneuvers, like Mulberry Harbour, Red ball Express and PLUTO, caused a possibility to advance through Normandy, France and thereafter against Germany. Although that, it is hard to automatically say that innovations like these are the absolute reason for the culminating point. By using the factors in Mårtensson’s model, that is increasing or decreasing the speed towards the culmination, the analysis shows that logistics has a huge impact on the outcome.

Orsaken till att jag har valt just detta anfall som Rommel genomförde i det tolfte slaget är att det är fascinerande och banbrytande hur löjtnanten Rommel med sin lilla enhet utmanövrerar stora delar ur den italienska armén. Metoderna jag har valt är deskription och fallstudie då jag anser att just dessa två lämpar sig väl då en mindre del ur något stort ska återberättas. Det jag vill ta reda på är om Rommel användes sig av det vi idag kallar för manöverkrigföring eller om det är något nytt vi har skapat för att ha ett namn. För att få kunskap om slaget och fördjupad kunskap kring de olika teorierna har jag läst in mig på de olika doktrinerna som svenska försvarsmakten har och även litterära verk kring Rommels deltagande i slaget. Slutligen har jag analyserat de olika fakta och dragit slutsatser kring Rommel och huruvida Rommel använde sig av dem eller inte. Det jag har kommit fram till är att Rommel användes sig av manöverkrigsföring under slaget vid Kobarid., The purpose with this essay is to find out if Rommel used what we today call manoeuvre warfare? I choose this subject because I’m interested in infantry tactics and the breakthrough Rommel did during the twelfth battle of Kobarid. A much smaller unit made a large unit surrender. The two methods I will use are description and case study because those two methods are good to work with when to describe what happen during a battle on a specific place on the battlefield. I’ve reed different books about the twelfth battle in Kobarid and doctrines about manoeuvre warfare in the Swedish armed forces. Finally I’ve analysed the facts and drawn conclusions however Rommel used manoeuvre warfare during the battle or not. The result is that Rommel used manoeuvre warfare at the battle of Kobarid but I don’t that think Rommel knew the words like we knew them today. Words like mission tactics or manoeuvre warfare.

The purpose of this monograph is to analyze the tension that exists between the concepts of continuity and culmination. While continuity states a commander must exploit every initiative presented to keep the enemy under unrelenting pressure, culmination is the result of carrying one's attack too far and can result in dire consequences. The interplay between these concepts presents the operational commander with many important questions. How far should an attack be pressed? Should continuity or culmination be the overriding principle? Do these ideas have applications at all levels of war, and are they pertinent to future conflicts? The methodology used to help answer these questions was three-fold. First, doctrine was inspected both at the joint and service levels for guidance on balancing these principles. Next, historical case studies were analyzed to see how operational commanders had controlled these principles, both in unlimited and limited war. Finally, the effects of future operational principles, such as those delineated in Joint Vision 2010, were studied for their impact on continuity and culmination. This monograph concludes that culmination and continuity is adequately addressed in Joint doctrine but is inconsistently discussed in the various service doctrine. From a historical perspective, the operational commander should be most concerned with culmination in unlimited war and continuity, especially in the war termination phase during limited war. Finally, although the harnessing of future technologies will undoubtedly improve the efficiency of combat, it will not entirely remove the possibility of culmination.

In the monograph, I define pivots of operations in the context of Jomini's theoretical writings and relate the concept to Carl von Clausewitz's concept of culmination. I analyze two historical illustrations used by Jomini from Napoleon's campaigns and two twentieth century campaigns to see how the concept has evolved. Based on the historical examples, I summarize the characteristics of pivots of operations and suggest desirable features of modern pivots. Using a hypothetical theater, I demonstrate how pivots may be used today to design the operational sustainment structures for a theater of operations. Then, I compare this model to current and emerging U. S. Army and joint sustainment doctrine to assess their sufficiency. The criteria for analysis throughout are the elements of operational sustainment design enumerated in FM 100-5, Operations: lines of support, staging, altering lines of communication, sustainment priorities, and force expansion. I conclude that the pivots of operations concept provides a common, unifying link between the doctrinal elements of operational sustainment design. Furthermore, it ties sustainment design closely to the theater concept of operations. Finally, pivots of operations offer significant benefits for sustaining the emerging warfighting concept for the future.

This monograph argues that, at the theater-level, logistical planners must anticipate forward movement. This research uses three elements of operational art—operational reach, tempo, and culmination—to assess a concept of anticipation of movement. Using historical case studies, this research examines the concept of anticipation in terms of planning and execution during two phases of port openings during the Allied advance in the ETO during WWII. The first phase covers the port opening in France from the invasion of Normandy (6 June 1944) to the opening of Antwerp (28 Nov 1944). The second phase picks up from the opening of Antwerp to the end of the conflict in Europe (7 May 1945). The goal of this examination of anticipation is to better understand the effects of logistical planners' ability to anticipate delays, limitations to movement, and loss of momentum and thereby to extend operational reach, increase tempo, and prevent culmination of movement. Though this monograph's three hypotheses had mixed results, it revealed important lessons, including the importance of both meticulous planning and on-the-ground flexibility. In both cases studied, when planners anticipated changes, planned for delays, and made modifications, these actions resulted in forward movement and, ultimately, the Allied success in WWII.

The United States considers China a peer threat and in the event of war with China, the United States would likely conduct large-scale combat operations (LSCO) to achieve national objectives. However, China does not conceptualize warfare in the form of LSCO. Instead, they pursue systems destruction warfare (SDW). The conduct of LSCO against China's SDW may reveal challenges in achieving the desired tempo, and forcing China to culminate. Additionally, LSCO against SDW may reveal that the US Army has to potentially shift its assessment of operational risk from a focus on land operations to one of systems operation. Tempo, culmination, and risk are three of the ten elements of operational used to assess the challenges of LSCO against SDW. However they also provide a precursor for the US Army to redefine elements of operational art for future warfare.

This monograph examines the U.S. military operations in Beirut, Lebanon 1982-1983 and Somalia 1993 in the context of Clausewitz's theory of a culminating point of victory. The dynamics of peace operations present a unique challenge to military commanders. If the prudent commander is to avoid the risk of a tactical defeat with strategic consequences, a management of the factors leading to military culmination and their linkage to operational assumptions should be the keystone of any planning effort. Recognizing the culminating point of victory provides an essential perspective on the necessary force structure, disposition, and tactics to assure mission success and to prompt their reappraisal at critical junctures that might otherwise be lost in the operational background noise. The monograph proposes that an analysis of what constitutes a culminating point of victory serves to capture the subjective nature of the decision making process in a quantifiable manner. This framework facilitates the recognition and management of operational risks. A commander is then better prepared to avoid operational culmination due to a tactical defeat.
