Executive Summary
“As currently postured, the U.S. military is only marginally able to meet the demands of defending America’s vital national interests.”
Introduction
Informed deliberations on the status of the United States’ military power are desperately needed. It is our hope that this Index of U.S. Military Strength will help to facilitate those informed deliberations.
Preface by Kay Coles James
This Index, backed by an irrefutable body of research, points out exactly what investments are needed and where so that the American people, both today and in generations yet to come, will have a military that is capable of defending them.
