U.S. Army War College Key Strategic Issues List 2014-2015

摘要

Today we continue to face an uncertain, complicated and rapidly changing international security environment, as stated in the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review. At the same time, the Army has been asked to contribute to the restoration of our Nation's economic strength by rapidly drawing down Army forces in light of domestic fiscal challenges. In the face of continuing international tensions and budget stringency, the Army s greatest challenge is to provide steadfast support to worldwide operational commitments, to include Afghanistan, while simultaneously drawing down, reorganizing and preparing the force for a wider array of security missions and threats in the future. We are committed to ensure the U.S. Army remains the most highly trained and professional land force in the world. Research on the topics contained in this document will assist us in shaping the Army of the future. We organize the topics to support the five strategic priorities identified in the 2014 Army Strategic Planning Guidance (ASPG). We must decide how to organize, train, and equip our Army efficiently and effectively, to be prepared for the uncertain global environment ahead of us. To assist in doing so, we publish the Army Priorities for Strategic Analysis (APSA).
