From Haiti to Bosnia, to the Taiwan Strait, to Liberia, to the skies over Iraq, they have achieved great suc- cess at minimal cost in nearly fifty operations since Desert Storm. Quality people, superior organization, unity of com- mand, and considerable skill in joint and combined operations have been central to that achievement. All these factors owe a great debt to the Gold- water-Nichols DOD Reorgani- zation Act of 1986, whose 10th anniversary is celebrated in this issue of JFQ. Indeed, the effects of Goldwater-Nichols have been so imbedded in the military that many members of the Armed Forces no longer remem- ber the organizational problems that brought about this law.
