The Transformation is a Must if the United States Will Remain a World Power

Abstract

Many of our intellectual weapons for peace keeping are out of date, as our army, and armies all over the world are racing to meet the needs of the of the new millennium. Not only do countries need to prepare themselves to win wars, they also must be sufficient in military strength to deter war. Though transformation cannot happen overnight, even while there are still hostile countries with large conventional armies, the United States is in the process of transforming. With todays changing political environment, America must transform its fighting force to meet the challenges of the explosive political world. With today's asymmetrical warfare, smaller fast deploying, quick reacting forces are needed to combat the world wide threat of unconventional enemies. The days of large, heavily equipped armies standing face to face in combat are passed.
