Managing Change: Capability, Adaptability, And Transformation, Hans Binnendijk, Richard L. Kugler
Managing Change: Capability, Adaptability, And Transformation, Hans Binnendijk, Richard L. Kugler
Defense Horizons
The Bush administration defense review is pointing to an era of far-reaching change in military strategy, forces, and technology. To succeed, this effort must be guided by a new set of strategic precepts. Since 1997, the precepts of shape, respond, prepare have helped guide how national security policy has approached change. In the coming years, capability, adaptability, and transformation can perform a similar function. The first and third precepts are well documented. The second, however, needs greater attention—not only because adaptability is important although easily overlooked, but also because it is a bridge between the other two precepts. These three …

Revising The Two-Major Theater War Standard, Hans Binnendijk, Richard L. Kugler
Revising The Two-Major Theater War Standard, Hans Binnendijk, Richard L. Kugler
Strategic Forums
This Strategic Forum paper evaluates the continued relevance of the post–Cold War “two–major theater war” (two-MTW) standard that has guided U.S. defense planning since 1993. Arguing that the strategic environment has evolved beyond the assumptions underpinning the two-MTW framework, the authors contend that preparing to fight two nearly simultaneous large regional wars no longer adequately captures emerging threats. They highlight the declining likelihood of concurrent conflicts in the Persian Gulf and on the Korean Peninsula, the rise of China as a potential peer competitor, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and the growing importance of peacetime engagement and smaller-scale …
The U.S. Strategic Posture Review: Issues For The New Administration, M. Elaine Bunn, Richard D. Sokolsky
The U.S. Strategic Posture Review: Issues For The New Administration, M. Elaine Bunn, Richard D. Sokolsky
Strategic Forums
This Strategic Forum examines key issues facing a new U.S. administration in reassessing the nation’s strategic posture. It argues that post–Cold War conditions require a more integrated approach to deterrence that accounts for evolving threats from Russia, China, and emerging regional actors. The authors evaluate the role of nuclear forces, missile defense, and arms control in maintaining strategic stability while adapting to new security challenges. The paper highlights the need to balance offensive and defensive capabilities, sustain the credibility of extended deterrence, and modernize elements of the nuclear force structure. It concludes that a coherent strategic framework, linking nuclear policy, …

Military Lessons From Desert One To The Balkans, Ike Skelton
Military Lessons From Desert One To The Balkans, Ike Skelton
Strategic Forums
This Strategic Forum reviews key U.S. military operations from the failed Iran hostage rescue in 1980 through interventions in Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf, and the Balkans to identify enduring lessons for future force development. The U.S. military improved significantly after the post-Vietnam period by learning from both failures and successes across these operations. This paper highlights recurring challenges, including unclear missions, coordination gaps, force protection, and the need for effective joint operations. It also emphasizes the growing complexity of missions, which increasingly include peacekeeping, coalition operations, and nontraditional contingencies. Future effectiveness depends on applying past lessons while preparing …

Transforming The Armed Forces Of Central And East Europe, Jeffrey Simon
Transforming The Armed Forces Of Central And East Europe, Jeffrey Simon
Strategic Forums
This Strategic Forum looks at the ongoing effort to reshape post-Cold War militaries in the region into effective contributors to Euro-Atlantic security. The paper highlights how early optimism about integration with Western institutions gave way to more difficult, long-term challenges, including limited resources, incomplete reform plans, and institutional friction. It also explores key issues such as downsizing forces, restructuring defense institutions, and strengthening civilian control of the military. The transition to professional forces and the integration of defense ministries also present political and social challenges that complicate reform efforts. This paper also emphasizes that while progress has been made, sustained …
