List of Additional Items Tying Richard Stuart Maltz to Special Operations and Asymmetric, Irregular, and Unconventional Warfare 1. US Army OPFOR Spetznaz operations. Throughout my military career, I have planned, performed, and led Opposing Forces (OPFOR) operations in simulation of Soviet Special Operations Forces (Spetznaz). 2. Citations. My name was listed in "Special Operations in United States Strategy", by Frank R. Barnett, published by National Defense University in 1984. Additionally, my work in this area was referenced in publications of the Naval Doctrine Command, Air University, and USJFCOM. 3. Articles, lectures, recognition, and fan mail. For the past 15 years, I have been published and lectured extensively on the subject of "Human-Centric Warfare" (a program designed to make the entire armed forces more SOF-like). I was also sponsored for a $285,000 study grant on this subject. I received letters of endorsement of my research and these writings in this area from: the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, the Naval Doctrine Command, the Naval Leader Training Unit, the Naval Special Warfare Center, the Marine Corps Combat Developments Command, the Army Research Institute, the Center for Army Leadership, the Armys Battle Command Battle Labs, and many others. Most of the "fan mail" received for this came from the Special Operations community, especially from the Navy SEALS. 4. JFK Special Warfare School. In the mid-1990s, as a consequence of my writing and lectures on the subject of Human-Centric Warfare, several prominent military theoreticians and historians recommended me to the then USSOCOM Commander, General Steiner, who arranged for me to be offered a teaching post at the US Army's JFK Special Warfare School. 5. Wargaming. In 2004, I attended a US-China wargame at the Naval War College in Rhode Island on behalf of USJFCOM. I was on the China Team. We won, employing exclusively unconventional operations. The US Team never understood itself to be at war; and was shocked to discover that it had lost a war that it didn't know it had fought. 6. Concept Development. Also in 2004, as a Joint Concept Developer for USJFCOM, I wrote the draft of Case II (Irregular Warfare) of the Major Combat Operations (MCO) Joint Operating Concept (JOC). In 2005, I composed USJFCOMs Long War concept for the fusion of regular and irregular warfare in protracted war (now called Hybrid Warfare). In 2006, I contributed to the Irregular Warfare-oriented Stability Operations and Urban Operations Joint Concepts. 7. Recognition from the former ARSOC Commander. In June 2006, former Army Special Operations Command (ARSOC) Commander, MG Geoffrey Lambert, delivered a presentation to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC on the subject of the past and future of American Special Operations. That presentation was divided into two parts. That portion that discussed the future was drawn largely from my work; a fact that MG Lambert graciously acknowledged from the podium. I attended, at his invitation. He mentioned my name and acknowledged my work several times during his presentation (at one point, asking me to stand to be recognized).
8. Writings for USJFCOM. The focus of my own writings, for USJFCOM, for publication, and for the "Cognitive Domain Cabal" (an informal global network of national security professionals dedicated to the proposition that the cognitive domain is the decisive domain in conflict, which I founded in 2003) has centered on unconventional, irregular, and asymmetric warfare. 9. Irregular Warfare studies at National Defense University (NDU). Since 2002, I have drafted and continue to develop USJFCOMs list of Proposed Research Topics and Special Areas of Emphasis for NDU, Service Schools, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA); and I continue to serve as the official USJFCOM liaison to NDU and the Services for Key Strategic Issues. Most of these topics, areas, and issues are irregular in nature. 10. Writings for publication. My articles on Strategy, Transformation, Philosophy, and Conducting Operations in the Cognitive Domain are still being published by Parameters (US Army War College), Military Review (US Army Command and General Staff College), A Common Perspective (USJFCOM DEG), SITREP (Royal Canadian Military Institute), Defense in the National Interest (DNI), Joint Center for Operational Analysis (JCOA) Journal, Diplomacy World, Military Intelligence Professional Bulletin and Military Intelligence magazine (US Army Intelligence Center), Vanguard (Military Intelligence Corps Association), and The Wright Stuff (Air University Press)). 11. Recruitment. In 2007, recognition of my work in these fields, I was inducted into JFCOMs Black Swan Society, a group of PhDs dedicated to fostering military transformation through enhancement of organizational productivity. I was also inducted that year, for the same reason, into the Cognitive Systems Engineering Consortium and Cognitive Engineering and Decision- Making Technical Group of Human Factors Society (I had already been inducted, in 1996, into the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society). 12. Requests to support ARSOC and USSOC. Since 2007, and continuing today, I have been approached by several in the Special Operations Community, including the USSOCOM SOKF- J9 Liaison Officer (LNO), who suggested that there are there are many people at ARSOC and USSOCOM familiar with my Concept Development work and anxious for me to support them directly. I have since received several tentative and contingency offers to do so. 13. Strategic Communication. In 2008, I edited the Joint Strategic Communication Hand- book (the author had incorporated many of my writings on the subject; but these were deemed by Army and DoD reviewers to be too politically sensitive to appear in an unclassified document). Also since that time, I have been asked to co-administer the State Departments Strategic Communication Working Group website and the Army War Colleges and National Intelligence Universitys Proteus Institutes website dealing with Cognitive Domain. 14. Lecture at the Army War College. In 2009, I lectured on the related subjects of Strategy, Transformation, Philosophy, and Operations in the Cognitive Domain at the Army War Colleges Strategic Studies Institutes (SSIs) 2009 Annual Strategy Conference. I was subsequently asked by the SSI to expand my lecture into a monograph to be published in their Advanced Strategic Thought series.
