Roles and Missions: Emerging Congressional Perspectives
In a 21st century security environment characterized by terrorist threats, weak states, and asymmetric warfare, the U.S. military is increasingly confronted with an ever-shifting spectrum of responsibilities. To understand how best to manage these trends, the House Armed Services Committee has undertaken its first comprehensive review of the U.S. military services’ roles and missions in fifteen years. The initial results of this assessment emphasize the necessity of undertaking a whole-of-government approach to future operations - one that is as much interagency as it is interservice.
