This brand new edition of The US Military Profession into the
Twenty-First Century re-examines the challenges faced by the
military profession in the aftermath of the international terrorist
attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. While many of
the issues facing the military profession examined in the first
edition remain, the 'new war' and international terrorism have
compounded the challenges. The US military must respond to the
changed domestic and strategic landscapes without diminishing its
primary function-a function that now many see that goes beyond
success on the battlefield. Not only has this complicated the
problem of reconciling the military professional ethos and raison
d'etre with civilian control in a democracy, it challenges
traditional military professionalism. This book also studies the
notion of a US military stretched thin and relying more heavily on
the US Federal Reserves and National Guard. These developments make
the US military profession increasingly linked to public attitudes
and political perspectives. In sum, the challenge faced by the US
military profession can be termed a dual dilemma. It must respond
effectively to the twenty-first century strategic landscape while
undergoing the revolution in military affairs and transformation.
At the same time, the military profession must insure that it
remains compatible with civilian cultures and the US
political-social system without eroding its primary function. This
is an invaluable book for all students with an interest in the US
Military, and of strategic studies and military history in general.
