Asymmetric Threats to U.S. National Security to the Year 2010

More about the book

The analysis explores how asymmetric threats exploit adversaries' weaknesses, particularly in the context of U.S. national security post-Cold War. It discusses the importance of understanding both American and enemy objectives and the various means of projecting force asymmetrically. The paper highlights a critical concern: the Department of Defense's focus on symmetrical threats may leave the U.S. vulnerable. To address future challenges, it advocates for a balanced approach that prepares for unexpected threats while maintaining readiness against anticipated conflicts.
