America's Army Expeditionary and Enduring Foreign and Domestic; Journal article

摘要

As of Summer 2003, a higher percentage of the total Army appears committed to active combat operations than during any period since World War II. While the Army moves to transform at a forced pace, it still defends against the most certain foreign threat the continental United States (CONUS) has faced since the War of 1812. Change is not new; it is a staple of defense. However, new combinations of requirements quick response (expeditionary) and long-term national commitments (enduring) require unusual solutions both overseas and in CONUS. Several new challenges facing the Army are implementation requirements that stem from the September 2002 National Security Strategy of the United States.
