THE ROLE OF MILITARY AID IN NATIONAL STRATEGY

Abstract

Since the inception of military aid, there have been a number of useful appraisals of this US program. In the main, however, they have focused on the effectiveness of the program within a relatively narrow context of military aid policy implementation. Within the last several years, however, not only implementation but military aid's very existence and the need for the program have been brought into question. In such a changed context, the study examines the relation of military aid to broader US foreign policy and national security considerations. This study not only examines the relevance or, equally important, the possible lack of relevance, of military aid to current and potential US foreign policy and strategic problems but also suggests a basis for developing guidelines for determining the current and future relevance of military aid to these problems.
