Security Assistance in the War on Terrorism

Abstract

Today, the idea of "transformation" in the Department of Defense is the overarching framework under which all else is being constructed. Military journals and publications are filled with the principles and definitions of that ubiquitous term. The spread of the idea begins with the National Security Strategy and cascades through the Quadrennial Defense Review, the Unified Command Plan and the Joint Strategic Capabilities Plan. During a recent field trip to Washington, D.C., by students from the Joint Forces Staff College, virtually every briefer spoke on transformation in one context or another, from those at the National Security Council and The Joint Staff, to the speakers at the U.S. Coast Guard.
