	THE STRATEGY-STRUCTURE MISMATCH
		Unfortunately, the failure to think these structural relationships through, to clarify administrative boundaries, functional roles, and mission responsibilities, and to develop a control structure that links each administrative unit and responsibility center to the goals of the organization as a whole is highly inimical to decentralization.
		This proposal was not adopted -- primarily because it threatened the prerogatives of the military departments and perhaps of Congress.
		Paradoxically, the situation that led to centralization under McNamara -- competition among the military departments in the functional areas -- is the chief prerequisite for decentralization to the combatant commands.

		Military planners should expect Bosnia to be representative of crisis response requirements for the near to midterm, although long-term requirements might evolve to more distant deployments.

		Even in periods dominated by military regimes, the various heads of government watched the activities of the supreme commander warily, realizing that their own positions of authority were subject in large measure to his concurrence.
		Throughout the history of military governments in Thailand, the effective authority wielded by the prime minister depended, in large measure, on support from the real center of military power--the army commander in chief, who controlled the field forces--and on the adroitness of the prime minister in garnering such support for himself.
		In general the structural form of service units and the method of their employment were similar to those of comparable United States military components, although they differed in size and in the technological sophistication of their equipment.

	Military Strategy
		In theory, all aspects of U.S. military planning—the defense budget, the size and structure of the armed forces, weapons procurement, overseas troop deployments, and so on—are governed by a strategic blueprint crafted by senior Pentagon officials in response to perceived global threat conditions.
		From the late 1940s to 1989, military planning was governed above all by the strategy of “containment” whereby the U.S. sought, with its allies, to prevent the expansion of Soviet power and influence and to ensure victory in any military engagement with Soviet and Warsaw Pact forces.
		Although some military leaders favor abandonment of the existing two-war strategy in favor of something less demanding (so as to conserve military resources), it is unlikely that the review will result in any fundamental shift.

	washingtonpost.com: U.S. Military in Europe May Change
		The current thinking about revamping the U.S. military structure in Europe follows the transformation of the politics of NATO through the addition of 10 member nations that are taking notably pro-U.S. stances, effectively reducing the influence of "old Europe" powers such as Germany and France, delegation members noted.
		Even discussing the shift sends the signal in Europe that the United States is ready to match changes in the alliance's political structure with changes in its military structure.
		But as a career Marine officer he is seen as not wedded to the current structure of the U.S. military in Europe, which has been dominated by the Army since it was established as an occupation force in 1945.

	Shaping the National Military Command Structure: Command Responsibilities For the Persian Gulf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Among military leaders and advisers there were two principal sources of concern: US capability to rapidly deploy military forces to the Gulf region, and the command arrangements for planning and executing combat operations in the region.
		This case provides background on the military command structure and Gulf security issues, and then follows the spirited debate that ensued within both the Carter and the Reagan administrations over how to allocate those command responsibilities.
		The case illustrates, first, the difficulty of deciding what military command arrangements are appropriate in an area of political controversy; and second, the difficulty of changing bureaucratic boundary lines and responsibilities in circumstances of contending institutional forces.

		The military has its own names for combat commands, of which DOM is not one.
		While DOM never existed, the military of course did have combat commands and conduct military operations in a number of provinces.

	Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Johns...Adapting NATO's Military Structure to Meet Tomorrow's Missions
		The integrated military structure remains at the heart of the NATO Alliance.
		Instead, we need a mix of capabilities, increasingly reliant on quick reaction and augmentation forces, with a command structure sufficiently adaptable to cope with a force mix tailored to individual tasks: a force mix, I should add, that quite conceivably might include assets from outside the integrated military structure.
		The developing concept draws on NATO's existing military structures to build separable but not separate military capabilities that could be employed by NATO or the Western European Union as they attempt to head off or respond to crises.

		Until the suicide hijackings of Sept. 11, the military had never been organized to defend against threats emanating from inside the country.
		The new approach is supposed to streamline a command structure that is complex and, in many respects, rooted in a Cold War-era approach to fighting standing armies, air forces and navies in predictable parts of the world.
		The Pentagon is considering consolidating all or parts of two U.S.-based commands: Space Command, which defends U.S. military interests in space, and Strategic Command, which is responsible for planning and targeting for strategic nuclear forces.

	friendly printed version:Commission on Review of Overseas Military Facility Structure of the United States ~ Marcus ...
		Although their theories might seem rather divorced from today’s practical matters such as where to put our bases, their relevance is made clear by the fact that our enemies are using their approaches every day – in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, now in Iraq, and likely increasingly so in the future.
		This is in contrast to the approach of a competing military philosopher who is currently popular in the U.S. military, Carl von Clausewitz, who focused on marshaling one’s forces to take on the enemy in a climactic, bloody, and decisive battle.
		Such approaches favor certain force structures, though the implications should not be taken as absolutes or mean that other forces and capabilities can be dispensed with.

	Rethinking Force Structure
		Finally, the Defense Department initiated a major reform of its management structures, many of which trace their heritage back to the Second World War, and some of which date to the turn of the last century.
		Our force structure remains much as it was in the 1990s, saddled by the assumptions that—if they were ever accurate—no longer are after September 11, 2001.
		We are not a nation at peace; we are not a nation secure behind two oceans; we are not a nation that can turn its back on areas of instability, in which terrorists have learned to thrive while nursing new and horrific capabilities.
