To date, government policy elitists in the United States have demonstrated almost complete ignorance towards revised, adaptive and forward strategic planning. While virtually every military officer and many policy "wonks" have been taught strategic planning at some level, it is obvious many have thrown most of the lessons out the door upon graduating. This is demonstrated more than ever by our senior Generals, Admirals, and Defense and State Department and Intelligence political appointees. One only needs to observe the international scene and turmoil in Afghanistan and the Middle East. The time is now to change strategy and reposition our Forces for present and future operation.
