ESTABLISH FOUR CORE MISSIONS for U.S. military forces:

  1. • defend the American homeland;
  2. • fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars;
  3. • perform the “constabulary” duties associated with shaping the security environment in

critical regions;

  1. • transform U.S. forces to exploit the “revolution in military affairs;”

Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century

[...] the range of missions demanded by U.S. global leadership: defending the homeland, fighting and winning multiple large-scale wars, conducting constabulary missions which preserve the current peace, [...]

Space itself will become a theater of war, as nations gain access to space capabilities and come to rely on them;

And advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.

The effects of the RMA will have profound implications for how wars are fought, what weapons dominate, and which nations enjoy military preeminence.

A transformation strategy that solely pursued capabilities for projecting force from the United States, for example, and sacrificed forward basing and presence, would be at odds with larger American policy goals and would trouble American allies. Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.
