Goetzmann (July 20, 1930 – September 7, 2010) was an American historian and emeritus professor in the American Studies and American Civilization Programs at the University of Texas at Austin. Educated at Yale University where he received BA and Ph.D. degrees, he taught at Yale from 1955 to 1964, with his interest in the history of the West sparked by the historian Howard R. Lamar. He then moved to The University of Texas at Austin to develop its fledgling American Studies and American Civilization Programs. His early writing concerned American diplomacy and American expansionism His work on the American West won him the highest prizes for historians, the Parkman Prize and the Pulitzer Prize. Over the next 5 decades, he published widely, establishing himself as one of the nation's premiere historians, and ranging widely among intellectual history, cultural history, art history, history of science, and history of philosophy. An advocate for the importance of history as a public discussion, he served in various capacities in television and film production, notably for PBS. He was most recently the Jack S. Blanton, Sr., Chair Emeritus in History and American Studies. More
Santa Monica, CA: RAND, 2003. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. xi, [1], 51, [1] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. This documented briefing presents results from a RAND Arroyo Center research effort on how alternative futures could influence long-term Army modernization plans. Having developed several plausible alternative futures (looking out roughly 25 years), the authors describe each one’s possible implications for the Army’s likely missions and the forces required for those missions, discussing the impact on Army modernization plans. The futures range from a relatively peaceful world to a dangerous, chaotic world. The creation of medium forces was a good long-range strategy for the Army, since those forces appeared to be relevant in many of the possible futures. Traditional heavy forces were found to be useful in a limited number of the possible futures. Army aviation could need to shift the balance from attack-type aviation to transport aircraft. Increased C4ISR seemed to be very important. In some futures, there would be a need for unconventional operations in urban areas. More
