Strategic Posture and the Use of Joint Rotational Forces in an Era of Great Power Competition

Abstract

The U.S. military faces unprecedented challenges rooted in fulfilling multiple strategic objectives, which include reassuring our allies, deterring aggression, identifying ways to defeat emerging military technology while modernizing forces to meet these challenges in a resource constrained environment. The Rapidly Deployable Joint Rotational Force concept offers a solution to meet these challenges.

This model is no longer either strategically or budgetarily feasible.
