The author of this futures work presents scenarios appropriate for near- to long-range planning of the activities of the Department of Defense and its agencies out to the year 2020 and beyond. Additionally, the scenarios, because of their design, are useful to other departments of the U.S. Government, industry, business, and academia.

These plausible scenarios are provided so that users can build policies and make decisions while anticipating and judging their consequences before implementation.
