The Army of 2020 -- Challenges, Changes and Chances

Abstract

It is commonly believed that the collapsing of the bipolar strategic environment at the end of the 20th century provided the opportunity to create a new international order. The world's society sighed with relief and began to design a new post-Cold War strategic environment. Hardly had a new international order been shaped when the attacks of September 11, 2001 disrupted this process. This tragic event opened a new chapter of the international strategic environment, forcing the world's authorities to review a national grant strategy and adjust it to the new challenges, coming changes, and emerging chances (3Cs). The Army, as a vital component of military power, must meet the expectations of a national security policy and strategy (NSPS). The Army of 2020's model must not only be adapted to the present strategic environment, but it should also advance to the 3Cs of the third decade of the 21st century.
