Full-Dimensional Protection: Safety Begins at Home

Abstract

Full-Dimensional protection is designed to ensure the safety and security of our armed forces, and to assure that they retain freedom of action across the entire range of military operations. Extending beyond the traditional idea of force protection, full-dimensional protection must be applied within the borders of the continental United States. The increasing likelihood of an asymmetric attack direct against our armed forces, within our own borders requires careful examination. Failure to adequately assess and counter these threats will result in a military that is unprepared for the war of the 21st century.
