Description
This volume pens with remarks by U.S. President Barack Obama at the National Defense University, addressing key issues in national security. The featured articles examine topics such as the evolving role of secret intelligence, the unique challenges faced by military and global leaders, and the transformation of Special Operations Forces (SOF) within global networks. Further discussions include the complexities of stabilization and reconstruction, shifting U.S. strategies in Central America’s Northern Triangle and the Asia-Pacific region, and a proposed taxonomy of military structures worldwide. The "From the Field" section highlights the role of Joint Deployable Training Teams, while the "Lessons Learned" section reflects on strategic responses to a decade of conflict. An exclusive interview with former Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair offers perspectives on U.S. security policy. The volume concludes with a review of The Insurgents, a book examining General David Petraeus’s influence on modern U.S. military strategy.
