Through a series of strategic and operational documents DOD has put forth an interlocking set of changes that placed greater emphasis on the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, created a new force-sizing construct, adopted new operational concepts, trimmed the U.S. force structure and defense budget, and called for enhanced cooperation with global partners. These strategies and concepts were developed under to the levels of the FY13 Defense budget submission and are carried forth in the FY14 Defense budget submission. This study describes these changes, evaluates them, and addresses the challenges of implementation. In particular, it recommends that DOD 'double down' in its pursuit of globally integrated operations through joint force integration in the context of the Capstone Concept for Joint Operations and the cross-domain synergy needed to operate effectively in the face of sophisticated adversaries. These are likely to be important in any strategic context. This study's conclusions and recommendations are not altered by DOD's budget request in FY14, though effective implementation will be more challenging. 000524275 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bDepartment of Defense$$xPlanning. 000524275 650_0 $$aMilitary planning$$zUnited States. 000524275 650_0 $$aStrategic planning$$zUnited States. 000524275 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xStrategic aspects. 000524275 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xMilitary relations. 000524275 7001_ $$aWells, Linton,$$d1946-,$$eauthor. 000524275 7102_ $$aNational Defense University.$$bCenter for Technology and National Security Policy,$$eissuing body. 000524275 85200 $$bgen$$hUA23$$i.K7896$$i2013 000524275 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:524275$$pGLOBAL_SET 000524275 980__ $$aBIB 000524275 980__ $$aBOOK
