Abstract

Abstract : This monograph addresses the perplexing issue of ensuring US security strategy is coherently mated with emerging defense doctrines. America 5 current security strategy, engagement, is inherently dynamic in nature. Consequently, it has surfaced four defense related issues: mission profiles beyond the design of US armed forces, debate over the role of US armed forces within an construct, debate over the future nature of US Security Policy and doctrinal changes by the Armed forces to meet the demands generated by engagement This monograph investigates the challenges facing the US Armed Services to develop relevant doctrines adaptable to dynamic changes in national security strategies. To meet the challenges of Engagement the services have adopted new doctrines affecting they way they organize, train and equip: USAF, Global Engagement; USN, Forward From the Sea; and USA, Army Vision 2010. Simultaneously, itself has been debated with three schools of thought emerging: the dynamic, selective and disengagement schools. Consequently, a programmatic dilemma is emerging; while the services are actively developing new doctrines to satisfy national security needs, the more cardinal issue of long-term national security policy is unsettled.
