Naval War College Review. Volume 66, Number 3, Summer 2013

Abstract

The fiscal crisis that continues to grip this nation has generated enormous challenges for America's defense establishment. At the same time, by upending old certainties and assumptions, it has also opened the way for fresh thinking about our defense priorities and ways of doing business. In "Marching toward the Sweet Spot: Options for the U.S. Marine Corps in a Period of Austerity," Robert P. Kozloski offers an example of such fresh thinking regarding the way forward for the Marine Corps, a topic that has garnered much attention since the winding down of the combat missions of the Corps in Iraq and Afghanistan. A major focus of his analysis is the relationship of the Marine Corps to the Navy, on the one hand, and, on the other, to the special operations community. Robert Kozloski is a program analyst for the Department of the Navy and a former Marine.
