The Demand for Responsiveness in Past U.S. Military Operations

by Stacie L. Pettyjohn

The Department of Defense argues that it must maintain a high level of readiness across the joint force to remain highly responsive. In this report, the author conducts a historical analysis to identify the demand for responsiveness in past U.S. operations. Going forward, the United States must balance readiness for smaller-scale crisis response operations and being prepared to deter and defeat a great power in major combat.
