ASV aizsardzības departamenta (ministrijas) četrgades plāns

vara bungas:  ASV aizsardzības departamenta (ministrijas) (AD) četrgades plāns (AD4P) publicēts š.g. 4.martā. Tas fokusējas uz īstermiņa uzdevumiem, kas stāv ASV BS priekšā.  Citāta (zemāk) pēdējais teikums: “We will continue to work to achieve a Europe that is peaceful and prosperous, and we will engage Russia constructively in support of that objective” , iespējams, pierakstīts pēdējā brīdī, bet tomēr tas tur ir. Muļķīga, naiva cerība? Bet vai mums ir citi avoti, kur smelties militāro optimismu? Dodiet ziņu.

[…]Europe. U.S. forces will continue to pursue innovative ways to strengthen the military capabilities of European allies and partners by maintaining forward-stationed forces there and providing rotational presence, including through shared allied and partner locations. Recognizing Europe’s strategic importance to operations in both Africa and the Middle East, we will work closely with host nations to improve the access and flexibility of our European basing to be able to better respond to crises in the region and beyond. We will continue to study U.S. infrastructure and headquarters in Europe to balance further consolidation in a time of fiscal austerity with our enduring responsibility to provide forces in response to crises in the region and beyond, and to train with NATO allies and partners. The Department will make every effort to enhance training with European nations, recognizing their role as primary U.S. partners in operations globally. We will continue to work to achieve a Europe that is peaceful and prosperous, and we will engage Russia constructively in support of that objective.[…]
