The National Security Strategy: Documenting Strategic Vision

Abstract

The author clearly delineates how the National Security Strategy is formulated and written. This is particularly timely, given that a new National Security Strategy was promulgated in February followed shortly by a new National Military Strategy. Since the first principle of war is the 'objective,' the relationship between military and political objectives is critical. Determining military objectives that will assist in realizing the goals and objectives established by the National Security Strategy is the primary task of the military strategist.
