The transformation of America's armed forces and defense
establishment has been one of the key overarching objectives of
President George W. Bush's administration. Measuring the value of
high-technology weapons systems and their demonstrated
effectiveness in the opening stages of both Operations ENDURING
FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has
increased the pace of defense transformation. But beyond enhancing
the lethality of U.S. forces on the conventional battlefield, where
is defense transformation headed? In this monograph, Colonel Kevin
Reynolds asks the question, "What form is transformation taking and
what end(s) are the armed forces transforming to obtain?" He argues
that U.S. foreign and national security policies should drive the
pace and direction of defense transformation, but finds that all
too often the military's weapons systems preferences determine the
shape and form of the armed services transformation and their
future capability sets.
