One Team, One Fight: The Need for Security Assistance Reform.

摘要

US defense strategy requires an improvement in its security assistance program to adequately empower allies and partners to provide for their own security and to support the US defense-industrial base. A struggling global economy and shrinking defense budgets, however, may hamper such efforts. Allies and partners struggle in their attempt at spending adequate amounts on defense, and US budget reductions may reduce America's defense spending, thus curtailing foreign military aid and revenues available to US defense contractors. Without adequate levels of revenue, the already brittle defense- industrial base may be incapable of developing technologies and offering the American military the best capabilities in the future.
