USCINCPAC: Operational Strategy Ahead of U.S. Security Policy

摘要

America's strategic interests in Asia have remained consistent for over 200 years and have largely preserved the stability and economic success of the region since World War II. The changing character of the region, however, has presented the United States with new challenges that may not be met with the current theater strategy. The Clinton Administration has articulated its goals in the national security strategy, however, that guidance is neither specific not faithfully implemented in the current USCINCPAC policy guidance. The national military strategy continues to articulate a regional bilateral security framework, while at the same time, the nations of the region are moving closer to implementing a multinational cooperative security strategy. The actions of the United States to participate in this forum will dramatically influence the course of events in the theater in the next twenty years.
