Stability Operations: Defeating the Twenty-First Century Threat

Abstract

The Twenty-first Century has brought with it a changing and dynamic world full of opportunity. The United States has emerged from the Cold War as the remaining Super Power, but has absorbed a devastating blow to its national psyche on Sept 11, 2001 that has propelled it into an aggressive campaign against terrorism. The United States continues to make necessary adjustments across the military to coordinate all aspects of national power to defeat the threats of the 21st century. As a result, military units should embrace stability operations as a core mission designed to counter these elusive and cunning terrorist cells."The face of the primary threats to the Marine Corps is changing and the Marines must change with it."
