Shaping U.S. Military Forces for the Asia-Pacific examines how U.S.
Joint Forces should be used to face the threat of a rising China at
a time when future crises and even wars are likely to be defined by
relatively limited political stakes alongside competing nationalist
identities. Today s nascent multipolar system shows commonalities
with an earlier, Euro-centric international system era. Thus the
book begins by looking back at previous ages of major power
competition and cooperation to draw lessons for the present global
system. It then analyzes the geopolitical context behind issues
relating to cooperation, competition, and conflict in the
contemporary Asia-Pacific. It also describes the nature of
successful deterrents to threats, including warnings and attempts
to bargain with the adversary to keep conflict relatively limited
in scope. Lastly, it examines the crucial role of diplomatic
reassurance during crisis bargaining to prevent worst-case scenario
thinking by the adversary, offer compromise settlements, and
de-escalate in the context of ongoing operational, or threatened,
use of military force. Applying both military theories from
thinkers such as von Clausewitz and Jomini and past lessons to
current realities help to provide concrete answers to what it means
to procure, equip, and employ U.S. military forces in the
Asia-Pacific in the 21st century. This allows for recommendations
about USAF and US Navy roles, missions, and performance
characteristics i.e., how to best link air and sea power to each
other and to strategic political needs during periods of tension
with rising powers such as China."
