ABSTRACT
Since the end of the Cold War, the Unites States Department of Defense (DoD) has been increasingly called upon to perform everything from toppling standing governments, to nation building and everything in-between. For almost two decades the (DoD) has struggled to meet these divergent demands with limited resources. Increasingly, the DoD recognizes that a new way of developing, fielding, employing and sustaining capabilities is needed as current requirements are creating resource demands and tasking the DoD beyond its breaking point.
