Will current strategic planning give the United States the sort of
military capabilities that are needed to counter threats likely to
occur in the future? Using first-hand experience at the Pentagon
and an army background, Lieutenant Colonel Peters outlines serious
problems, offers fresh insights into the defense planning process,
and makes suggestions for developing an optimal force structure for
the year 2000. This analysis utilizes case studies of the Gulf War,
departing from recent studies about military reform. Policymakers,
experts in political and military strategy, and political
scientists interested in the inner workings of government agencies
will find this study a provocative one. Peters assesses the global
security environment in this post-Cold War era and defines the
risks and consequences likely to confront us. Employing the lens of
organizational theory, he points to disjunctures between military
and political policies and dysfunctional practices in the Defense
Department. He describes the basic components in a force structure
that would make the nation more secure militarily by the turn of
the century.
