The general capabilities required by the Joint Force in 2025 will be a global surveillance and strike (GSS) network, increased naval and air investments and ensuring cyber technology outpaces adversaries. Based on the current U.S. strategic direction and global security environment these capabilities are necessary. Satellites and cyber technology will be part of the design of the GSS system. The U.S. military will be able to strike quickly and remain engaged for increased periods while additional forces move to the area of concern using the GSS system. Increased Navy and Air investments in submarines, ships, aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV’s) is critical. The Navy and Air Force allows us to project power to areas of the world far from our base of operations. Air power also enables us to provide support for ground forces while providing deterrence and denial of enemy forces. Cyber investments and security are critical because cyber technology will increasingly be the engine that runs our future military and allows us to attack adversary’s cyber networks and infrastructure. The U.S. Army will see a reduction in tactical armor units while the U.S. Marine Corps remains at the current level of equipment and personnel. After each capability are associated Risk.
The GSS network will be a vital piece for rebalancing the force in 2025. It is a network tracking and control system designed to help deploy and control unmanned
A. Steps in Developing Strategic Plans: Why have strategic plans? For the last two years San Juan School District has focused on implementing 90 day plans for schools. The 90 day plan provides a road map for focus & goals, identifies and provides needed support, builds capacity, including teachers, principals, school community, and district personnel. Furthermore the plan establishes accountability, creates a culture of high expectations, and the Utah State Board of Education accepts the schools’ 90-day plans in lieu of the Title I school-wide plans (which keep plans current and focused).
With Trump’s election this year, his rhetoric of “Making America Great Again” and therefore revitalizing our military will soon become a reality. Trump has formally requested a reappropriation of funds; around $54 Billion, towards the US military. Part of Trump’s campaign promises had to do with making the military more robust; ensuring America’s title of militarily strongest in the world. In order to achieve this goal. Trump’s federal government has the option of many different aspects of the military to focus on. Of these, funding weapons of mass destruction, cyber security, and further military research and development prove themselves as most relevant in the contemporary military.
General Dempsey’s NMS underscored strategic challenges to the Joint Staff in rebalancing the JF of 2025 to meet the national security directives in an austere fiscal environment. General Dempsey highlighted strategic imperatives to protect and advance U.S national interests, apply contrasting approaches to state threats (China, Russia) verses non-state threats (ISIL), and adjusting to prolonged campaigns in an unpredictable strategic environment with limited resources.4 The CCJO emphasized enduring proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), rise of competitor states, violent extremism, regional instabilities, transnational crime and competition for resources.5 Furthermore, advancements in mobile technology and social media allow middleweight
should adjust its priorities and spending to address the changing nature of threats in the world: What all these potential adversaries—from terrorist cells to rogue nations to rising powers—have in common is that they have learned that it is unwise to confront the United States directly on conventional military terms. The United States cannot take its current dominance for granted and needs to invest in the programs, platforms, and personnel that will ensure that dominance's persistence. But it is also important to keep some perspective. As much as the U.S. Navy has shrunk since the end of the Cold War, for example, in terms of tonnage, its battle fleet is still larger than the next 13 navies combined—and 11 of those 13 navies are U.S. allies or partners." (Staff,
The future environment in which the US military will likely operate is unknown and unknowable. As outlined in the
The problem the total Joint Force (JF) 2025 will face will be consistent emerging “gray zone” threats that include hybrid and near peer competitors trying to tip the balance in the global security environment. In addition, as the Department of Defense (DOD) learned from past wars while its resources reduce, the total JF 2025 must adapt and become more agile in countering these emerging threats. The DOD has provided the strategic and military guidance along with associated posturing statements for the complementary capabilities of strategic adaptability and agility that will enable the rebalancing of the total JF 2025, support future contingency operations, and mitigate risk.
The current health care environment is characterized by rapid changes in various aspects of operations, prompting hospitals to embrace strategic planning in order to position themselves in the dynamic environment. Strategic planning serves a vital purpose of helping an organization determine what it wants to be in days to come and how it will achieve this objective. This paper explains how a well constructed strategic plan would benefit Atchison hospital which is located in the State of Kansas in the Midwestern United States.
Based on current resources and predicted security environment Joint Force 2025 should focus on the following capabilities. The Army and Marines should extend the service life of certain weapons capabilities while enhancing integrated air missile defense, in addition to combat vehicle improvements and purchases. The Navy should enhance surface and sub-surface systems and operations, increase the lethality of the surface fleet and develop redundant communication and navigation systems. The Air Force should extend the service life of certain weapons capabilities, enhance unmanned aerial systems and operations and modernize its nuclear force.
The Persian Gulf, the critical oil and gas –producing region that we fought so many wars to try and protect our economy from the adverse impact of losing that supply or having it available only at a very high cost. (John Bolton, George w. Bush’s ambassador to the United Nations) (Gibson,2014) It is essentially true that Syria is a country with abundant natural resources. This can be illustrated by the comment mentioned above that America has always taken a keen interest to the Middle East to reap the benefit of huge oil and gas industry. Since Syria is the second largest oil producer after Iraq, a huge political economy worked behind America’s decision to wage war on Syria, which left a disastrous impact on overall development of Syria. America’s foreign policy focuses predominantly on interest- seeking for them even at the expense of the entire world. President Barack Obama’s secretary once said ”US foreign policy is not driven by actually what people want, but by what is best for America”(Gibson,2014) Syria with all its natural resources could have been one of the leading economies in the world, but due to interest seeking so called super powers of the world they are experiencing a painful nightmare that their country has ever seen before. Nearly all major cities coupled with their all infrastructures have been demolished. Hundreds and thousands of people fled the country
There are five major characteristics of the future operational environment that will have an effect on land force operations. The first relates to the speed at which information and movements grow through different means of communication. The second is the potential for overmatch and involves an enemies abilities to limit or hinder our capabilities. The third deals with the proliferation of WMDs and the likelihood of an enemy to employ them. Fourth involves the emergence of cyberspace
The top three global security trends that will influence our National Military Strategy in the next four to ten years are proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, cyberwarfare, and emerging technologies. These three trends directly influence operating environments and impact future Joint Force capabilities and capacity.
Every four years and specifically on the first Tuesday of the month of November, millions of American move to the polls to exercise their democratic right of a choosing a new leader in a free, open and credible election. Before this happens, the candidates are initially nominated in previous conventions with their respective parties. Furthermore, they are then given the opportunity to launch diverse campaign movements with the aim of selling their ideologies and manifesto to the citizens. Therefore, before the United States gets a new president, media [online media, newspapers, television, radio, and magazines] play a major role in making the candidate known both at local and international levels. After a successful election, the president
organisation. As stated at the Moscow Summit in 2003, the SCO’s view is that today it is more important than ever to pool the efforts of the international community in a search for ways of jointly building a structure and architecture of international security for that 21st century that would be acceptable to all nations.
At the end of WWII in 1945, Western Europe and arguably the entire world looked to the United States for a recovery plan. Great Britain was loosing control over its colonies, France and Germany had been destroyed by the war, and the Soviet Union was gaining power. This put the United States in a position of power, the question that arises with this is, does the United States try to gain control as the hegemonic power in the international system? Is there a real necessity in the region of the Middle East to gain the hegemonic power in terms of U.S national interest/security? International Relation realists would say of course there is.
To achieve an “ever closer Union” members of the European Union had to relinquish certain governance authorities to the Supranational Institutions of the European Unions. The accumulation of power in governance by the EU institutions over the past 50 years have shown that member states are willing to empower the Institutions in regards to their economic policies and social policies which had profound impact on the lives of the European citizens and raised their living standards dramatically. In order to maintain this progressive trajectory a cohesive foreign policy initiative was seen necessary. Major European member states were reluctant in giving up their sovereign right of making their foreign policies to the supranational institutions of the European Union. Therefore, a forum in which EU countries would come together to discuss and cohere their foreign policies was deemed necessary. As result, the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) was initiated to fulfill the desired role. The Common Foreign and Security policy have many weaknesses, which can have significant affect on the direction of future integration in its realm.
