New Considerations for the Operational Commander

Abstract

Uncertain and ever-shifting challenges will continue to affect U.S. defense strategy, impacting directly upon U.S. Unified and Specified Commands (i.e. the CINCs). The ability to anticipate problems and adapt is becoming evermore critical for the operational commander, as economic challenges and global shifts in power emerge. This paper will detail the significance of the changes and outline newly-emergent trends and resultant implications. From these, six specific and practical recommendations are offered in order to assist the CINCs in this unsettling new defense climate.
