CJCS on future conflict


I agree with Tom, this is good stuff from GEN Dempsey:

"...he indicated that conventional mass forces were not the way to go in future conflicts, especially those against non-state actors. We need to allow ourselves, he said, 'to confront these networked, decentralized foes with something other than huge formations of soldiers, sailors, airmen or marines.'
He would put a particular emphasis on working with partners. In particular, he said, U.S. intelligence organizations need to get with that program. In intelligence and related areas such as technology transfer, he said, we continue to follow 'Cold War processes that have not yet adapted themselves to what we really need to be doing today. And in order to deliver the strategy that we've all agreed is the right strategy for the country, we've got to get after those processes.'"
