Defining U. S. Atlantic Command's Role in the Power Projection Strategy

The authors argue that the lynch pin in the power projection strategy of the United States is a completely transformed U.S. Atlantic Command (USACOM). The monograph details how USACOM has been allowed to evolve since its inception in 1993 but is yet to achieve its full potential for implementing the CONUS based power projection strategy. Recognizing USACOM as a principal actor in support of this new strategy, the authors recommend that USACOM should be further transformed into a Joint Forces Command. Their analysis exposes the need for a significant review of Title 10 of the U.S. Code and a reexamination of some of the fundamental tenets underlying the structure and command of the U.S. armed forces. The reappraisals they propose will impact the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Joint Staff, the Military Departments, and the unified combatant commands in important ways.Army War Coll Strategic Studies Inst Carlisle Barracks PA is the author of 'Defining U.
