Our nation's founders developed a republic in which citizens of character work together to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure liberty. As a result of the founders' vision, this nation remains the boldest and most successful example of freedom and democracy in the world. Our freedom and democracy require constant vigilance. Each generation inherits not only the privileges and benefits but also the responsibility to protect the Nation from its foreign and domestic enemies. Since 1775 our Army has played a vital part in guaranteeing the common defense of our Nation. The Army provides the United States with the landpower to prevent, shape, and win in the land domain.
