Michael Tichenor, left of center, discuss expectations with the joint planning group Oct. 6, 2014, during the Global Strike Workshop at Barksdale Air Force Base, La. The workshop organizers crafted plans which integrated Air Force Global Strike Command assets into a joint environment, focusing on how to best utilize the total force in the most effective and efficient manner.

What is this about?

The global power balance is rapidly evolving, leaving the United States at a turning point with respect to its level of engagement and the role of its military. Some argue for an “America First” paradigm, with a large military to ensure security, while others call for a more assertive posture overseas. Some advocate for a restoration of American multilateral leadership and a strengthened role for diplomacy. Still others envision a restrained U.S. role, involving a more limited military. How does the military function in today’s international order, and how might it be balanced with diplomatic and foreign assistance capabilities?
