Army Vision 2010. The Geostrategic Environment and Its Implications for Land Forces. The Land Force - The Versatile Force.

Abstract

With the end of the Cold War, a prominent theory arose that there would no longer be a need for large land forces, that power projection and national military strategy could primarily be carried out through precision strikes using technologically advanced air and naval forces. This standoff approach would reduce the level of U.S. involvement and commitment and thus the requirement for large land forces. Reality proved that theory to be invalid.
