Would you believe if you read at some random Internet page that US Empire is collapsing? Or to some professor of economy that is persistantly talking about the day of reckoning? You may doubt that sources. But what if you find a Pentagon document with the same conclusion? Well, it is here!
Brief Synopsis
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) faces persistent fundamental change in its strategic and operating environments. This report suggests this reality is the product of the United States entering or being in the midst of a new, more competitive, post-U.S. primacy environment. Post-primacy conditions promise far-reaching impacts on U.S. national security and defense strategy. Consequently, there is an urgent requirement for DoD to examine and adapt how it develops strategy and describes, identifies, assesses, and communicates corporate-level risk. This report takes on the latter risk challenge. It argues for a new post-primacy risk concept and its four governing principles of diversity, dynamism, persistent dialogue, and adaptation. The authors suggest that this approach is critical to maintaining U.S. military advantage into the future. Absent change in current risk convention, the report suggests DoD exposes current and future military performance to potential failure or gross under-performance.

More surveillance!
- Integrate interagency insights into DoD’s risk assessment and “lead-up” as trusted partners toward a common “whole of government” risk picture.
More propaganda!
- Competitor Strategic Manipulation of Perceptions to Achieve Favorable Strategic Outcomes
Pushing “Allies” into more war!
- Integrate core allies and partners into the risk assessment process.
