How to Be a Cheap Hawk: The 1999 and 2000 Defense Budgets (Studies in Foreign Policy)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Two important events in 1997--the balanced-budget deal and the completion of the Pentagon`s Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR)--promise to shape U.S. military policy for the next several years. Unfortunately, they are at odds with each other. The balanced budget accord will result in a real level of defense spending that is 8 percent lower in 2002 than in 1998. But the proportionate cuts in personnel and weaponry that the QDR calls for are only about half that size. Moreover, the U.S. military is near the end of its so-called `procurement holiday` and will soon have to buy more equipment. In this study, Michael O`Hanlon suggests a way out of this budgetary fix. In contrast to the current U.S. military posture, built around a requirement to fight two Desert-Storm like wars at once, he offers an alternative force structure organized around the concept of a `Desert Storm plus Desert Shield plus Bosnia/IFOR` requirement. O`Hanlon also suggests that naval operations… [detailed...]
