To keep the peace and defend freedom in the 21st century our defense strategy and force structure must be focused on achieving six transformational goals:
protect the U.S. homeland and critical bases of operations.
project and sustain power in distant theaters.
deny our enemies sanctuary.
leverage information technology.
improve and protect information operations.
enhance space operations.
