For those interested in .mil theory…..<\/p>\n
First, SWJ Blog<\/strong> reported today that the old, now defunct,\u00a0DNI<\/strong> site of Dr. Chet Richards<\/strong> is being preserved as an online archive:<\/p>\n DNI alive again. Sort of…<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Thanks, Mandy, for the info and for your role in bringing DNI back to a state of suspended animation.<\/strong><\/p>\n DNI had a ten year run, closing its doors at http:\/\/d-n-i.net last November. There’s a site of loosely the same title there now, but it’s not the same site.<\/strong><\/p>\n The <\/strong>Project on Government Oversight<\/strong><\/a> was involved with the start up of DNI, and is behind its Lazarus reincarnation. No new content is being posted, but the archives are alive again now for those who want to explore them. The new site is <\/strong>http:\/\/dnipogo.org\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n In a recent email exchange, Dr. Richards indicated to me\u00a0that he wanted everyone to be aware that he no longer owns or controls the old domain name for DNI which has been purchased by an unrelated company; those interested in the treasure trove of DNI articles on strategy, John Boyd<\/strong>, military affairs, 4GW<\/strong> or other concepts should go to the Project on Government Oversight<\/strong> page indicated above. Chet, by the way, can be found blogging at Fast Transients<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and his post follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n DNI\u00a0Relaunches<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Defense and the National Interest<\/strong><\/a>, the real one,\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0the faux site now at d-n-i.net, has relaunched courtesy of our friends at the Project on Government Oversight (POGO).<\/strong><\/p>\n For the time being, it’s an archive – new content isn’t being added – and we’re still in the process of tracking down some of the original files.\u00a0 Please let POGO know when you find broken links.<\/strong><\/p>\n When DNI launched in 1999 it was unique:\u00a0 The only site devoted to furthering the concepts originated by the late USAF Col John Boyd, and its original mission was to house Chuck Spinney’s commentary that applied Boyd’s strategy, and his own insightful analysis, to issues concerning national security.\u00a0 Today, there are any number of sites that provide cutting edge commentary, including zenpundit, John Robb, Tom Barnett, and Fabius Maximus.\u00a0 Please visit them and contribute.<\/strong><\/p>\n POGO’s press release announcing the reposting of DNI follows after the fold…..<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Secondly, in a more esoteric vein, those interested in 5GW<\/strong> can reference this resource put together by Curtis Gale Weeks<\/strong> <\/a>that contains about 95% of what has ever been written on\u00a0the subject of\u00a0“Fifth Generation Warfare”<\/strong> by a wide variety of authors including\u00a0TX Hammes, John Robb, Thomas PM Barnett,\u00a0William Lind<\/strong> and many others\u00a0( hat tip to Dr. Dan<\/strike><\/strong>\u00a0 Dr. tdaxp<\/a><\/strong>, who has edited the soon to be released by Nimble Books<\/strong><\/a>, \u00a0The Handbook of 5GW<\/strong><\/em> ):<\/p>\n
