While the United States has been occupied with recent military operations, other potential adversaries have been advancing their own military capabilities. The proliferation of advanced antiaccess and area denial capabilities is a source of particular concern. A debate over the appropriate set of responses -- strategic, operational, and technical -- has begun. This perspective is intended to contribute to this debate by examining a potentially effective and feasible overall military approach to the challenge -- direct defense -- describing the general sorts of operational concepts and supporting capabilities that can enable that approach. Direct defense is predicated on the belief that the most credible way to assure partners and deter aggression is to confront potential aggressors with the prospect of failure should they seek to advance their objectives through force of arms. While many other steps can be taken to reduce the risks of conflict between the United States and potential adversaries (e.g., enhancements to allied self-defense capabilities and improved mechanisms for dispute resolution and crisis management), clarity about the U.S. commitment to direct defense and a visible investment in the requisite capabilities are essential. The ideas offered here suggest the main elements of a way forward for U.S. and allied defense planners."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a National security $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140387 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Asia. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100427 651 0 $a Asia $x Foreign relations $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008114275 650 0 $a Strategy. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85128514 651 0 $a United States $x Operational readiness. $x Operational readiness. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85139864 710 2 $a Rand Corporation, $e publisher. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78083407 830 0 $a Perspective (Rand Corporation) ; $v PE-142-OSD. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014028725 941 $a 2 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092322.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116022748.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E689C0D6F83411E784964A6B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
