Defense Strategy for the Next Decade: Joint Security Cooperation and AirSea Battle Operations
Abstract
Joint Security Cooperation and the AirSea Battle Operations provide a cost efficient, balanced, and effective strategy to increase global security, ensure US military advantage, and protect US national interests abroad, all while reducing overall defense spending. To defend against both traditional and emergent threats, the smaller Joint Force will increase their support to security cooperation initiatives with partner nations. The Defense Department will attempt to leverage security cooperation agreements to deter regional instability and diminish the potential for phase III combat operations by executing comprehensive phase 0 shaping operations in conjunction with the Interagency, allies, and partner nations. The primary objective is securing regional stability through effective phase 0 shaping operations and if a crisis errupts use AirSea Battle as an additional operational capability to mitigate the threat. No matter how independently robust security cooperation efforts and the development of the AirSea Battle Concept become, the Joint Force must link these two facets as critical components of a greater national defense strategy through the next decade and beyond.
