Building and Maintaining Public Acceptance of and Political Support for the Military of the Future

Abstract

The United States' position as a leader in world affairs today is dependent on its military strength. This may be true to an even greater degree in the future. The military relies on the United States Congress for all its resources and is, therefore, dependent upon the Support of the American people. Based upon the current status of the acceptance of and support for today's American military establishment and using different interpretations of future military missions, this research analyzes what actions will be required to at least maintain, if not improve upon, current levels of acceptance and support. It also examines actions required to obtain adequate levels of funding from Congress to fund the future military.
