Beyond Mahan: Proposal for a U.S. Naval Strategy in the Twenty-First Century

Abstract

Late in 1991, the National Command Authority published a new national security strategy that stressed a regional rather than a global approach. Shortly thereafter the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) issued a new national military strategy which also stresses a regional approach. The new military strategy has as its basis four fundamental legs: forward presence, crisis response, strategic deterrence, and reconstitution. This study examines the naval strategic contribution to each of those legs.
