”Maj. Terrones” comments on Mackenzie Eaglen’s article “Balancing Strategy and Budgets,” October AFJ. (www.armedforcesjournal.com/2008/10/3666455)
The current economic crises will have serious implications that will affect the transfor¬mation of our military. The military has tried to transform while fighting a war. The unin¬tended consequences are an overstretched and exhausted force that has financially strained the nation. … To deal with the challenges the next administration will have to address the following:
1) Balance between the priorities in operations and force modernization;
2) Determine where to take risks by reducing cost in procurement of costly and ineffective programs;
3) Find a way to balance both current and future priorities.”
