Abstract
Abstract Increasing defense budgets at a time of growing budget deficits and economic recession have caused more attention to be focused on how the military does business. Defense critics in and out of government have joined forces in a loose coalition calling for military reform in an attempt to get defense “on the cheap.” Their proposals in two areas of concern, weapons reform and doctrine reform, are by and large, misinformed, overdrawn, or incomplete. Current weapons systems correctly utilize American comparative advantage in technology vis‐a‐vis manpower. While renewed emphasis on the operational level of war seems a valid maneuver reform, the rest of the maneuver doctrine espoused is generally less compelling.
