2022 National Defense Strategy

"President Biden has stated that we are living in a "decisive decade," one stamped by dramatic changes in geopolitics, technology, economics and our environment. The defense strategy that the United States   pursues will set the Department 's course for decades to some. The Department of Defense owes it to our All-Volunteer Force and the American people to provide a clear picture of the challenges we expect to face in the crucial years ahead--and we owe them a clear and rigorous strategy for advancing  our defense and security goals.

The 2022 National Defense Strategy (NDS) details the Department's path forward into that decisive decade-- from helping to protect the American people, to promoting global security, to setting new strategic opportunities , and to realizing and defending our democratic values. For the first time, the Department conducted its strategic reviews--the NDS, the Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) and Missile Defense Review (MDR) --in an integrated way, ensuring tight llinkages between our strategy and our resources. The NDS directs the Department to act urgently to sustain and strengthen U.S. deterrence, with the People's Republic of China(PRC) as the pacing challenge for the Department. The NDS further explains how we will collaborate with our NATO Allies and partners to reinforce robust deterrence in the face of Russian aggression while mitigating and protecting  against threats from North Korea, Iran, violent extremist organizations, and transboundary challenges such as climate change.."
