This latest study in the Brookings series on U.S. defense
strategy and the defense budget reviews current American military
capabilities and offers suggestions for the new administration and
Congress. Michael O'Hanlon makes sense of the hot political topic
of military readiness, questions the continued relevance of the
current two-war framework for structuring most conventional combat
forces, and challenges the wisdom of current plans for the
procurement of advanced jet fighters, helicopters, and submarines.
The book also focuses on missile defense, other means of homeland
defense, the so-called revolution in military affairs, and possible
conflicts between Taiwan and China that could involve U.S. forces.
Throughout, the author looks for ways to close the gap between the
cost of projected U.S. defense forces and the budget actually
available to the Pentagon.
