The Global Landpower Network: Recommendations for Strengthening Army Engagement

Abstract

The U.S. Army has introduced the global landpower network (GLN) concept as a means to integrate, sustain, and advance the Armys considerable ongoing efforts to meet U.S. national security guidance emphasizing the importance of working closely with partner nations to achieve U.S. strategic objectives. This report develops the GLN concept further and addresses three questions: What benefits can a GLN provide the Army? What are the essential components of a GLN? What options exist for implementing the GLN concept? By developing the GLN concept, the Army has the opportunity to transition the way it engages with partners from an often ad hoc and reactive set of relationships to one that the Army more self-consciously prioritizes and leverages as a resource to meet U.S. strategic objectives.
