Info

ARNG and USAR have implemented tiered resourcing programs to concentrate readiness initiatives on maintaining a high level of readiness in their early deploying contingency units. CONCLUSION These enhancements will substantially increase the capabilities of U.S. forces to conduct military operations in the post-Cold War era. To a large extent, the ability of the United States, in concert with regional allies, to fight and win two nearly simultaneous major regional conflicts in the future depends on the enhancements described above. DoD will continue to ensure that funding for these enhancements receives priority in budgetary deliberations. 29
Chapter 4 READINESS The diverse demands of the post-Cold War world require that the United States maintain highly capable forces prepared to rapidly respond to any contingency. Achieving this goal is one of the Department's most aggressive and ambitious undertakings. It is also the most important. Maintaining the readiness and sustainability of U.S. forces is the number one priority of the Department of Defense. AMERICA'S FORCE IS READY The Department has kept America's military ready while adjusting to the end of the Cold War. Keeping the military fully ready during a major drawdown is an unprecedented achievement. In each previous drawdown -- after the Second World War, Korea, and Vietnam -- forces went hollow as resources were eliminated faster than force structure. The Department was and is determined to avoid those errors of the past. As General John Shalikashvili, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated: "What an extraordinary success this drawdown has been. For the first time in our history, we have been able to reduce as significantly as we have reduced without taking a nose-dive in readiness . . . . While we are considerably smaller today than we were when the Cold War ended, pound for pound we are as ready today as we ever have been." It is particularly notable that America did not stand down its forces to achieve this readiness. Indeed, American forces maintained a high operational tempo, yet kept readiness high while reducing the force. America's military is ready for the next war, not just the last. During the Cold War, the requirements for readiness were clear -- be prepared to repulse an invasion of Western Europe, and should that fail, to escalate the conflict globally. Today, America's forces face a wide array of challenges, from civil strife through conventional combat to the threat from weapons of mass destruction. Potential opponents are more diverse and better armed than before. America's forces are equally diverse in their equipment and training, ready to meet any threat by land, sea, or air. NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY AND READINESS America's leadership in world affairs relies on ready military forces. Because U.S. forces are organized and trained to support the National Security Strategy, they must be prepared for, and on occasion must engage in, operations that support the full spectrum of national interests: • Fighting and winning the nation's wars -- the responsibility underlying all U.S. military activities and stands as the ultimate guarantor of U.S. vital national interests. This commitment is manifested in the ability of U.S. forces to decisively fight and win two nearly simultaneous major regional conflicts. • Deterring aggression and preventing conflict -- deploy and support combat forces, ranging from strategic nuclear deterrence to overseas presence missions, most importantly to convince potential adversaries that their objectives will be denied and that their aggression will be decisively defeated. • Peacetime engagements -- participate in activities to enhance regional stability, alleviate human suffering, improve coalition military capabilities, and promote democratic ideals. 30
