The state of Singapore within Southeast Asia stands out as a country that has made an enormous effort to establish and maintain a formidable defense capability. Much has been written about its hardware components, however, the sociological aspects that are part and parcel of that capability which are the focus of this article, have been relatively neglected. It examines how the universality of conscription has effects that go beyond the confines of the armed forces in the form of the moulding of a Singaporean identity and the imparting of values to the nation's youth. The article also examines the factors that have allowed the Singapore Armed forces to attract some of the best and brightest into its ranks, and looks at the relationship between a citizens' armed force and that of the bureaucracy and the political leadership.

Following the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, Kyrgyzstan started hastily building its own Armed Forces. Although the Kyrgyz Republic inherited some military units and weapons from the powerful Soviet Empire, it lacked defense infrastructure and efficient command personnel. More than 15 years have passed since then. During this time a national military security system has been put in place, the Armed Forces being its core. This article considers the status of Kyrgyzstan's Armed Forces, the evolution of state security policy, and measures to advance military reform in the republic

During the summer of 1992, Senator Sam Nunn, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, initiated legislation to enhance civilian and military cooperative efforts in meeting critical domestic needs. In a speech before the Senate Armed Services Committee, he called for a major reexamination of the roles and missions of the nation's Armed Forces to help solve these problems. The political context of Senator Nunn's speech is as important as its content. The cold war was over, domestic crises were manifesting themselves, and the Armed Forces, especially after the Gulf War, enjoyed unprecedented prestige and unique capabilities and efficiencies. These efficiencies, Senator Nunn believes, can be turned on domestic difficulties. As budgets were cut, the broad area of roles and missions also became the vehicle for scrubbing the budget and revalidating missions and force structures. The revalidation process continues and, in simple terms, the defense budget will see dollars being taken out or new missions added. This paper details Senator Nunn's ideas for new missions. It sets forth his speech, the relevant materials from reports of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the House-Senate Conference Committee (Appendix A), and the final text of the legislation as enacted in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Appendix B). ; https://press.armywarcollege.edu/monographs/1902/thumbnail.jpg
