U.S. Military Forces and Operations

CNAS examines the force structure, roles, missions, and overall health and wellness of America's military in order to help ensure our forces are prepared for the demands of 21st century conflict.

In September 2010, CNAS published An Indispensable Force: Investing in America’s National Guard and Reserves. The report concluded that despite commendable progress in recent years, the U.S. government still is not investing sufficiently in the policies, laws, and budgets required for the National Guard and Reserves to fulfill their current and future role in U.S. national security. In February 2010, CNAS released a report on military officer education. Titled Keeping the Edge: Revitalizing America's Military Officer Corps, the report provided recommendations for how the United States can keep its edge in the officer corps amidst an ever-increasing array of challenges.

In 2011, CNAS will undertake work on such vital topics as the future of the all-volunteer force, defense acquisition reform, military planning and budgeting, and the future of America’s “hard power.”

For other work related to U.S. Military Forces and Operations, see the CNAS projects on Military Wellness, Special Operations Forces, and Contracting in Conflicts.

    Syria's Hard Landing
    Author(s): Dr. Marc Lynch
    Type of Publication: Policy Brief
    Date: 02/22/2013

    As the conflict in Syria escalates into an even more brutal civil war, it not only continues to cause great human suffering, but it also threatens to undermine the stability of the country’s regional neighbors. In Syria’s Hard Landing, Dr. Marc Lynch, CNAS Non-Resident Senior Fellow and Associate Professor of Political Science and the Director of the Institute for Middle East Studies at the Elliott School of International Affairs at The George Washington University, argues that the international response to these developments has been manifestly inadequate. While he writes that the debate over Syria must shift to reflect new realities and that there are actions American policymakers can take in order to prepare for a political transition after Asad falls from power, he maintains that the United States should continue to resist direct intervention or directly arming rebels.
