WORLD VIEW: THE 1997 STRATEGIC ASSESSMENT FROM THE STRATEGIC STUDIES INSTITUTE
In December of each year the analysts at the Strategic
Studies Institute (SSI) look to the year ahead to assess the
strategic equation for their particular areas of interest. This
is part of an effort to focus our priorities both corporately as
well as individually.
As they address those issues and factors that will affect
U.S. national security strategy over the next 12-18 months, our
analysts are also forced to think about the next decade. The
strategic context in 1997 will be quite similar to that of 1996
in that it remains complex and uncertain. This year, however, the
way we assess the world of the 21st century is even more
important because the Army, along with the other services, is
engaged in the congressionally-mandated Quadrennial Defense
Review (QDR).
Beyond the QDR, our conceptions of the future have
implications not only for Force XXI and Army XXI, but also for
the kind of Army that will serve the nation when Army XXI systems
near obsolescence in 15-20 years. Getting the strategic context
about right is important because the Army After Next, although
highly capable, will also be small by comparison to those forces
of only a few years past. Furthermore, decisions made in 1997 as
to weapons development and force structure will emerge in the
Army of 2010-2015.
SSI offers this year's World View assessment in the hope
that it will be of value to strategic planners in the Army and to
others who share an interest in assuring that the Army of the
21st century will be then, as it is today, the world's best
army.
