Global Strategic Task Force: A Strategic Renaissance

Abstract

The overwhelming advantage in technology, training and tactical capability we relied upon during the conflicts of the last decade will not equate to decisive operational success in the future. The evolution and proliferation of long range and high precision weapons will threaten our interests and forces globally. Even more significant is the commitment by our potential adversaries to challenge us at the strategic level by attacking our forces and critical infrastructure around the world and in space. Three key factors are presently converging to drastically change future warfare, rapidly improving technology, enormous changes in the domestic and global political environment, and the evolution of our military to a rapidly deployable expeditionary force. To effectively counter the inevitable future strategic threats and maintain our dominant military advantage, we must replace the tactical perspective that currently dominates Joint Doctrine and recapitalize the strategic initiative within our operational art.
