A History of the Strategic Implications of the Great Recession and Its Aftermath on U.S. National Defense

by Benjamin J. Sacks, Gian Gentile, Stephanie Young

In this history of the effects of the Great Recession and a national focus on deficit reduction on U.S. DoD decisionmaking, the authors detail a concurrent shift in strategic focus from a decade of counterterrorism operations toward possible future near-peer conflict. They examine DoD's efforts to manage resource constraints while maintaining its ability to meet changing security demands in a dynamic threat environment.
