With a relatively small footprint, our Army achieves strategic aims by employing trained and ready units, fully prepared for joint com- bined-arms maneuver, that are adaptive and flexible, prepared to carry out a range of operations with partner nation forces. General Daniel B. Allyn, Vice Chief of Staff, Army Remarks at AUSA’s ILW Hot Topic “Army Networks,” 9 July 2015 Introduction The growing and emerging threats to the glob- al security environment—the velocity of instabili- ty—recently compelled the Department of Defense (DoD) to reexamine its capabilities and capacity for deterrence, sustained operations and reassurance of allies and partners. In contrast to projections in earlier strategic guidance, the regional security and stability in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific have deteriorated in the past several years in ways that were not anticipated. Potential adversaries sought to negate America’s strengths, exploit its vul- nerabilities and gain temporary or local superiority in one or more capability areas. Additionally, the more extreme conditions of volatility and instability.

    Association of the United States Army Voice for the Army—Support for the Soldier October 2014 Strategic Landpower in NATO Vital for U.S. Security Allied Land Command is the leading advocate for soldiers and land forces in NATO, responsible for ensuring their effectiveness and interoperability. Lieutenant General Frederick B. Hodges, USA Commander, NATO Allied Land Command* Introduction Today’s global security environment is defined by its complexity, unpredictability and the increasing momentum of human interaction; it is the essence of the joint and combined force to remain trained and fully ready to meet any challenge. Strategic land- power—the application of land forces (Army, Marine Corps and special operations forces) toward achiev- ing strategic outcomes across the range of military operations—provides a critical hedge against this un- certain future. The role of strategic landpower is to shape and prevail within the human domain, creating conditions that stabilize people’s daily dealings with one another and generate momentum to bring about and combined-arms capabilities to dominate the en- the nation’s strategic objectives. vironment; and winning decisively when called.
