This report argues that the US Department of Defense (DOD) should make numerous policy changes to achieve sustainable preeminence. While most studies focus primarily on either strategic ends or budgetary means, the authors concentrates more on operational ways. The authors' recommendations rely on judgments about both security threats and available resources, the inseparable elements of any practical strategy. They feel that DOD must maintain America’s military preeminence but spend less on defense by operating more efficiently and effectively.
