About

Get there first, with the most men. Lt. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, CSA (1821-1877) The end of the Cold War caused fundamental changes in the international security situation and US military strategy, resulting in a profound redirection of our Army's roles and missions. For more than fifty years, the Army was concerned with deterring, and if necessary, defeating Soviet aggression on the NATO Central Front. Forces, equipment, policies and procedures were all directed toward achieving that overriding goal. The Army relied heavily on forward basing of forces, backed up by prepositioned stockpiles of equipment on which roundout and reinforcing units could be assembled. Plans for rapid transfer of forces from the CONUS were directed towards reinforcement of the European theater, with relatively little attention given to other contingency theaters.
