A Hard Look at Hard Power: Assessing the Defense Capabilities of Key U.S. Allies and Security Partners Paperback / softback
by U.S. Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute, Gary J. Schmitt
Paperback / softback
Description
Since the end of World War II, the United States has made maintaining a favorable balance of power in Eurasia a core element of its national security strategy.
It did so in good measure by maintaining a large conventional military force that was based not only at home, but also in bases spread across Europe and Asia.
That strategy was buttressed by developing security ties and alliances with key powers and front-line states.
The implicit bargain was that the United States would help keep the peace on their door front if they would provide access from which American forces could operate and, in turn, maintain credible forces themselves to reinforce and support U.S. efforts at keeping the great power peace.
