Historical Antecedents

Past DoD Efforts to Offset Numerical Inferiority:

  • 1950s – President Eisenhower’s “New Look” defense policy

emphasizes large numbers of nuclear weapons, long-range bombers, and missiles.

  • 1970s – Secretary of Defense Harold Brown and Under

Secretary William Perry direct DoD to develop stealth, precision strike weapons, and improved C4ISR.

Eisenhower’s “New Look”

  • Eisenhower determined to deter the USSR

isenhower determined to deter without bankrupting America. –

Soviet conventional forces greatly outnumbered U.S. forces

Soviets could probe periphery and start proxy wars to exhaust U.S., as in Korea 1950–53

  • Emphasized nuclear weapons, bomber forces, and missile forces as

Emphasized nuclear weapons, bom backstop to conventional forces: –

Accelerated fielding of the hydrogen bomb

B-47 and B-52 bombers with KC-135 tankers

Atlas, Titan, and M inuteman ICBMs

George Washington SSBN with Polaris SLBMs

U-2 and Corona satellite for strategic reconnaissance

“ A global war-fighting capability [is] the sine qua non of a superpower and thus essential to the credibility of America’s overall national security strategy.”

“ U.S. military must have the capability and capacity to deter or stop aggression in multiple theaters – not just one – even when engaged in a large- scale war.”

Power Projection: The Capability Challenge

  • Traditional approach to power projection:

– Build up combat power and logistical support. – M aximize airpower sortie generation from close-in land- and sea-bases. – Employ heavy mechanized ground forces.

  • Problems with the traditional approach:

– Requires political access to forward bases and littoral waters. – Depends on unimpeded use of ports and airfields. – Strategically unresponsive – requires months to prepare. – Difficult to implement in multiple theaters simultaneously. – Entails growing operational risk…
