Term Paper: National Military Strategy
Professor: Roger Jordan
Due Date: Week 9 (winter semester)
As we will never forget what happened on September 11, 2001, neither will the rest of the world. Our lives changed that day; everyday people now know that, many people in other parts of the world do not like us. How could this type of attacked have happened on our own soil? This is a question that is asked by many. Yet the answer never seems to be available it was something that just happened. The only thing that we can do about it is to try to prevent something like that from …show more content…
ever happening again. Our government tries its best to protect its citizens from acts of terrorism like we saw on 9-11. First, while protecting the United States we must win the War on Terrorism.
The National Military Strategy is composed after every presidential election. With the security and interests of America in mind. The goal of the strategy is to allow all of the armed forces the tools to protect America. With an ever-changing world this strategy is always being modified. New technologies have made it easier for us to obtain the right information that we need to make fast decisions. But also this technology has made it easier for our enemies to gain information that could be used in plotting an attack on us again.
The attacks of September 11, 2001 demonstrated that our liberties are vulnerable. "The prospect of future attacks, potentially employing weapons of mass destruction, makes it imperative we act now to stop terrorists before they can attack again". Today, our priority is to protect the United States.
Joint forces help to secure the United States from direct attack through military activities overseas, planning and execution of homeland defense also know as the US Patriot Act that was enacted on October 26, 2001, and has been critical in preventing another terrorist attack on the United States. "It brought the federal government's ability to investigate threats to the national security into the modern eraby modifying our investigative tools to reflect modern technologies, eliminating barriers to effective national security investigations, and giving national security investigators the same sorts of tools as have long been available to investigators who handle non-national security matters."
While engaged in multiple worldwide operations to meet these requirements, the Armed Forces of the United States must maintain force quality to enhance joint war fighting capabilities and transform to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
"Executing this strategy will require a truly joint, full spectrum force with a seamless mix of active forces, the Reserve Component, Department Of Defense, civilians, and contracted workforce fully grounded in a culture of innovation. It will require the highest quality people disciplined, dedicated, professional well trained, well educated, and well led".
Our experience in the war on terror (WOT) reinforces the fact that protecting the Nation and its global interests requires more than passive defensive measures. The threats posed by terrorist groups and rogue states, especially those that gain access to WMD, mandate a swift offense. Achieving this objective requires actions to counter threats overseas and close to their source; to secure our air, sea, and land territorial approaches; and at home to defend against direct attacks. When directed, the Armed Forces provide military support to civil authorities, including capabilities to manage the consequences of an attack. "The National Military Strategy provides focus for military activities by defining a set of interrelated military objectives from which the Service Chiefs and combatant commanders identify desired capabilities …show more content…
and assess risk".
Key Aspects of the Security Environment A Wider Range of Adversaries A More Complex and Distributed Battlespace Technology Diffusion and Access
Principles guiding the development of the Joint Force Agility Decisiveness
Integration
The Armed Forces must have the ability to operate across the air, land, sea, space and cyberspace domains of the battlespace. Armed Forces must employ military capabilities to ensure access to these domains to protect the Nation, forces in the field and US global interests. Forces operating in key regions are essential to the defense of the United States and to the protection of allies and US interests.
The National Military Strategy establishes three military objectives that support the National Defense Strategy:
Protect the United States Against External Attacks and Aggression Prevent Conflict and Surprise Attack Prevail Against Adversaries.
Desired Attributes of the Force
Fully Integrated Expeditionary Networked Decentralized Adaptable Decision Superiority Lethality
Capabilities and Functions
Applying Force Deploying and Sustaining Military Capabilities Securing Battlespace
Four Defense objectives will guide Department Of Defense security activities:
Secure the United States from direct attack.
Secure strategic access and retain global freedom of action.
Establish security conditions conducive to a favorable international order. Strengthen alliances and partnerships to contend with common challenges.
The NMS serves to focus the Armed Forces on maintaining US leadership in a global community that is challenged on many fronts from countering the threat of global terrorism to fostering emerging democracies. In this environment, US presence and commitment to partners are essential. Our Armed Forces, operating at home and abroad, in peace and war, will continue to serve as a constant, visible reminder of the United States role to protect common interests. "Our dedication to security and stability ensures that the United States is viewed as an indispensable partner, encouraging other nations to join us in helping make the world not just safer, but
better".
Without the commitment of our government, our troops and the citizens of the Untied States, we would be lost right now. Our government provides this military strategy to ensure that everyone is on the same page. We as a powerful nation must always be looking ahead for future threats. We are looked upon by the rest of the world as a the most powerful nation on planet earth. We must not enter wars without plans, without information. Because if we do that then there will be many more troops and civilians killed. That will never win the worlds heart over. If we can just show the world that we are just trying to make the world a better place to live for all then maybe things will settle down overseas.
