2012-13 Key Strategic Issues List

Edited by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria II.

Brief Synopsis

Update No. 1 and Update No. 2 to the KSIL are now available with additional topics.

Unlike other lists that generally reflect issues which are operational or tactical in nature, the focus of the Key Strategic Issues List is strategic. The spotlight is, in other words, on those items that senior Army and Department of Defense leaders should consider in providing military advice and formulating military strategy. At present, the U.S. military is engaged in a changing situation in Iraq and an increasing presence in Afghanistan, as well as efforts to restore balance in force sizing and structure.
