About

From these components of the national purpose we derive US goals—the specific expressions of national purpose which provide the rationale for national security policies. The following basic goals have remained essentially unchanged since the late 1940s: • To preserve the independence, free institutions, and territorial integrity of the United States. • To preserve US and allied vital interests abroad;and • To help shape a world in which freedom and democracy can flourish—an inter- national community in which states coexist without the use of force and in which citizens are free to choose their own governments. National power, the aggregate capacity of a state to safeguard its national interests and to influence the behavior of other states, has political, economic, socio-psychological, technological and military elements.
