Strategic control

Article Abstract:

US Air Force officials are developing a novel concept, called Strategic Control, which aims to make the US military relevant regardless of world conditions. Strategic Control is offered as a new guide in the absence of a coherent US military policy framework in the aftermath of the Cold War. Key elements of Strategic Control include: rapid seizure of initiative in any military action, minimizing use of violence as political tool, control of the enemy's ability to act and giving national leaders the maximum number of choices to address the problem.
