B -- STRATEGIC AND MILITARY PLANNING DURING INTER-WAR PERIODS: LESSONS FROM THE PAST AS GUIDES TO THE FUTURE POC Karen O. Kolosvary, Contracting Officer, 703-614-6846 WEB: http://www.hqda.army.mi/dssw, http://dbdnet.gpo.gov/ACCEPT.template. E-MAIL: www.hqda.army.mil/dssw/, KolosKO@hqda.army.mil. The Defense Supply Service-Washington intends to award a contract, on a sole source basis to the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University to produce an edited volume of essays on "military and strategic planning during inter-war periods." The purpose of the volume is to examine how different military organizations in the past have undertaken the task of planning for the future in periods of relatively high uncertainty. The aim is to distill useful information for planners today. Unlike previous projects that focus on the 1919-39 period alone, this project will examine five different inter-war periods and will thus be able to draw on a wider range of experience. This is not a request for proposals and no solicitation exists. This announcement is for information only. Posted 03/30/00 (W-SN439413). (0090)
