Army implements
post-Cold War code
Vol. 92 I
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The Army
marches into a new intellectual
era this week as it formally aban
dons its Cold War fighting doc
trine and adopts a code that em
phasizes quick-strike moves to far
away lands.
The new guide also points up
the fact that operations such as the
peacekeeping mission to Macedo
nia or the cleanup after Hurricane
Andrew are the wave of the future
for the Pentagon's largest military
service.
Almost two years in the works,
the publication — dubbed FM-105
Operations — was to be unveiled
Monday by its architect, Gen.
Frederick Franks, head of the
Army's Training and Doctrine
Command, and Gen. Gordon Sul
livan, the Army chief of staff.
Franks, the commander who led
the Army's VII Corps on its famed
"Left Hook" into the Iraqi Republi
can Guard during the Persian Gulf
War, began the revisions soon after
returning from the gulf.
The four-star general says the
centerpiece of the document is
"how we think about fighting our
nation's wars and conducting op
erations other than war."
No longer focused on battling
the Warsaw Pact nations in cen
tral Europe, the Army must be
able to "mix and match" its forces
for operations ranging from
counter-narcotic actions in South
and Central America to wars like
those in the Persian Gulf or Pana
ma, Franks says.
But the new guide deals with
much more.
An entire chapter focuses the
bel-
sar
military's doctrine for thefii
time on such things as peacekee
ing missions, humanitarian ass:
tance and disaster relief, riot co:
trol and relations with nations
need of democratic assistance.
The new doctrine also declaie
"the Army will not operate alons
stressing that cooperation amo;
the military services will'
hallmark of future operations.
Given the military's buda
and size constraints, the Armyk
decided it must focus on
projection," — the ability to mo’
troops quickly to a variety of jd
around the world.
While it took more than hi
months to put three heavy dit
sions into Saudi Arabia,
Army's new goal is to deploy
same number of troops the
distance, but in half the time.
The new document is also
pected to play a central role in
system that, as Sullivan said
cently, "translates ideas inton
or modified weaponry, organi
tions and training. It guides:
approach to the future."
Sullivan noted that while
general public sees the higl
publicized use of stealth weapc
in the Gulf War as the preludt
a new way of waging war, com!
in Panama actually will serve
the prototype.
"What we did in Panama*
in many respects more sophis
cated than our success in
desert," Sullivan said. "Inc
judgment, our ability to cond:
simultaneous, synchronized
tacks on multiple (targets) usi
complementary military forces
all services represents the dam:
a new age in warfare."

Victims push for Graham executioi
Rally battles against celebrity support for death row inmatf
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Victims of death row inmate Gary
Graham joined about 125 people Sunday in a united
front against a celebrity-ridden campaign to keep the
29-year-old from execution.
The crowd, many of them crime victims, some
even assaulted by Graham, carried signs and spoke
against the recent series of delays that have kept the
former Houston resident from being executed by
lethal injection.
"We or someone we know would likely become
his next victim. That is why we are gathered here to
day," said rally organizer Pam Lychner, who was a
victim of an attempted sexual assault three years
ago. "We do not have the luxury of a big public rela
tions firm. Our only weapon is exercise our right to
free speech."
The rally was in response to a publicity surge on
Graham's behalf. His supporters say he did not kill a
Tucson, Ariz., man in a Houston parking lot in 1981.
Supporters admit that Graham, who was 17 at the
time of Bobby Lambert's murder, has a long criminal
past. But they say he was mistakenly identified by
Bernadine Skillern, who sat in her car six feet from
Lambert's murder.
The heated rally was the first time Graham oppo
nents have voiced their disgust at the public rela
tions campaign that has been fueled by support from
entertainers Kenny Rogers and Danny Glover.
Glover has appeared several times in Texas on
Graham's behalf and Rogers has offered money to
ward a new trial for Graham.
"All of this is her testimony," said Rusty Hard
Ms. Skillem's attorney in Houston. "This isn't Kei'
Rogers offering $500,000 for a new trial about
thing he doesn't know anything about. This isn
Danny Glover refusing to appear on the Today sk
with her when we offered."
At the end of the hourlong rally, a Kenny Rogi
cassette tape was pulled apart by Gary Graham
ponents and smashed on the ground.
Carrying signs that said "Let Criminals GoOul
A Blaze of Glory," "Don't Protect — Inject," Grate
opponents voiced disgust at the ongoing Hollywoo
intervention.
"The thing that appalls me about this whole Ho
lywood production that is occurring, is precisely ik
it's become a Hollywood production," said stateSe
Jerry Patterson, of Pasadena.
"We have the system where 12 qualified juro:
were selected and who entered in and awarded
sentence and convicted a man of capital murder, "k
added. "We have an appeals process it has goo
through ... and all of a sudden we have a newle«
of due process and that's the Hollywood jury,
celebrity jury. They can come to Texas and tel
what to do."
David Spiers, 41, says he was shot by Gary Gr<
ham in 1981, when he was offered a ride by Grate'
who saw Spiers' car had broken down.
Spiers' case was never tried, he said, becau*
prosecutors claimed they had so many other cas
on Graham to pursue.

TOKYO — Walter Mondale has his work cut out. The former vice
president has been chosen as U.S. ambassador to Japan at a time when
relations are strained by trade tensions and plagued by cultural mis-
cues.
The tenure of outgoing Ambassador Michael Armacost, who arrived
in 1989, has coincided with a distinct chilling of sentiment on both sides
of the Pacific.
Japanese critics dubbed Armacost "Gaiatsu-san" — Mr. Foreign
Pressure — for his criticism of Tokyo about matters ranging from its
ban on rice imports to passiveness in the Gulf War.
The sobriquet was symptomatic of deeper divisions.
In recent months, Japan has responded with increasing sharpness to
U.S. criticism of its trade practices. Officials have complained openly
about the Clinton administration's role in raising the value of the yen,
which hurts the overseas earnings of Japanese companies.
When a Louisiana man was acquitted last month in the fatal shooting
of a Japanese exchange student who was looking for a Halloween party,
some saw it as proof that America is a violent, lawless land whose val
ues are incompatible with those of Japan.
President Clinton's election raised hopes of better relations, but those
quickly dimmed. Recent polls indicate diminished Japanese expecta
tions of improvement during his presidency.
In April, a combative first meeting of Clinton and Prime Minister Ki-
ichi Miyazawa set the tone. Television here repeatedly showed clips of a
news conference at which Clinton appeared to glower at the Japanese
leader.
Japanese officials have done little to disguise their disdain for Mick
ey Kantor, the U.S. trade representative, who they say is at best untried
and at worst ill-intentioned.
Even before Clinton took office, U.S.-Japanese relations had been
marked by growing acrimony.
The U.S. recession lent new urgency to American trade complaints.
High-profile Japanese real-estate purchases fanned resentment of
Tokyo's economic muscle and racial gaffes by Japanese politicians of
fended American blacks.
A low point may have been then-President Bush's visit in 1992, when
he was criticized for a clumsy sales pitch on behalf of U.S. auto execu
tives accompanying him. Plus, there was the matter of him vomiting in
Miyazawa's lap.
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia -
The leader of the election-winning
party ordered his troops Sunday
to prepare to retake a region occu
pied by rebellious government
forces, saying only international
intervention could avert war.
Violence was reported in the
seven-province region, which
comprises 40 percent of the coun
try and was declared autonomous
Saturday by renegade soldiers of
the outgoing government.
"We are not going to accept
any partition of Cambodia,"
Prince Norodom Ranariddh,
leader of the election-winning
FUNCIPEC party, told journalists.
"We are ready to set up our own
forces to fight and liberate that
part of Cambodia."
The secession attempt further
divided the various Cambodia
factions following U.N.-super
vised elections that were intended
as the centerpiece of a 1991 peace
plan. There were fears the spo
radic battles could escalate into
all-out combat.
U.N. officials estimate FUNC-
INPEC has 5,000 troops, and Ra
nariddh said his forces had arms
caches and troops in the break
away provinces. It is unclear how
many soldiers the secessionist
forces have on their side.
Ranariddh appealed to the
world community to end the re
bellion so his troops would not
have to resort to war.
