About

In the decade since the end of the Cold War, the strategic environment has become less stable, more uncertain, and more dangerous. The international order is again in transition. While our traditional adversaries seem less menacing, others have developed the capacity to threaten our national interests. Friction between the forces of integration and disintegration has increased the nature and scope of potential threats. All of our armed forces must be ready to deal with these threats, but land forces alone have the ability to place enough "boots on the ground" and interact with populations, directly and continuously. In this capacity for human interaction, ground forces are unique. The Army provides human interaction—the basis for our warfighting doctrine, our crisis management philosophy, and our engagement strategy.
