Abstract

Abstract:This article analyzes what junior officers in the US military read, why such readings are assigned, and how such reading may influence the project of war itself. The main concern of this article is to scrutinize a specific cultural artifact of US imperialism. What books are junior officers in the United States military required to read? Why are they assigned these specific books? How do such readings relate to the project of empire itself? I focus on books assigned to junior officers because these are the under-analyzed military leaders most closely involved with the actual brutality of war. This "combat syllabus" fills a need for the production of both war and warriors within the assemblage of US imperialism.

战斗教学大纲:生命、死亡和书籍

摘要:本文分析了美国初级军官的阅读内容，为什么这些阅读被分配，以及这些阅读如何影响战争项目本身。本文主要关注的是审视美帝国主义的一个特定文化产物。美国军队的初级军官需要读什么书?为什么给他们分配这些特定的书?这些解读与帝国计划本身有何关系?我把重点放在给下级军官写的书上，因为这些人是与战争的实际残酷程度最密切相关的军事领导人。这个“战斗大纲”满足了美帝国主义集合中对战争和战士生产的需要。

期刊介绍： The research on discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs) is multi-disciplinary in nature and its development has been dynamic. Examples of DEDSs include manufacturing plants, communication networks, computer systems, management information databases, logistics systems, command-control-communication systems, robotics, and other man-made operational systems. The state processes of such systems cannot be described by differential equations in general. The aim of this journal, Discrete Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Applications, is to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed papers on the modeling and control of, and all other aspects related to, DEDSs. In particular, the journal publishes papers dealing with general theories and methodologies of DEDSs and their applications to any particular subject, including hybrid systems, as well as papers discussing practical problems from which some generally applicable DEDS theories or methodologies can be formulated; The scope of this journal is defined by its emphasis on discrete events and the dynamic nature of the systems and on their modeling, control and optimization.
