Joint Engineering Strategy

摘要

The president's 2006 National Security Strategy (NSS) stressed a policy to seek and support democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture. The NSS is founded on two pillars:rn1.To promote freedom, justice, and human dignity; work to end tyranny and encourage effective democracies; and extend prosperity through fair trade and wise development policies.rn2.To confront today's challenges by leading a growing community of democracies.rnAn important element in fulfilling and shaping the pillars of the NSS in the international environment is the operational effectiveness of joint military engineers in conducting combat operations and humanitarian assistance. Trends from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and from the past decade show that the United States-together with its international partners-must have the capacity to manage two or three reconstruction and stabilization operations concurrently.
