The Changing Nature of External Threats, Economic and Political Imperatives, and Seamless Logistics

Abstract

In the absence of a major new threat, the national security of the United States will have to be guaranteed with a significantly smaller defense budget. For better or for worse, efficiency now shares top billing with effectiveness because in the new order, cost have become the biggest enemy for any weapon system. This article addresses ways by which the logistical support of the war fighter can be provided much more efficiently than ever before, without materially sacrificing effectiveness.
