	Chapter II: The Command of Continental Defense Forces
		The removal of air units from the control of armies and corps areas did not change the responsibility of their commanders for planning the co-ordinated ground and air defense of their areas, but increasingly the air organization began to engage in defense planning on its own behalf.
		The defense commands were made responsible during peacetime for planning the defense of their areas against ground and air attack, the corps area commanders retaining their responsibility for internal security plans and measures.
		To add to the confusion, their area defense plans were to be subject to the review and approval not of the Army Air Forces but of GHQ as soon as it was activated as an operational headquarters, as it was about to be.

	Chapter I: The Framework of Hemisphere Defense
		The United States decided that as soon as possible it had to have the means to forestall the establishment of any hostile air base or other military installation on Western Hemisphere territory from which its continental area or the Panama Canal could be threatened or attacked.
		Since the United States after 1937 kept the bulk of its naval strength in the Pacific, the Army and the government generally tended to discount these dangers, and hemisphere defense came to mean very largely Atlantic defense against the menace of Nazi Germany.
		With military expansion and in accordance with the new policy of hemisphere defense, the defensive perimeter was extended from the citadel.

	Making the Case for Missile Defense (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Thus, the United States is entitled to regard the ABM Treaty as void, and to develop and deploy missile defense systems without regard to the Treaty's restrictions.
		The distinction between "theater" and "national" missile defense is arbitrary: The United States should seek to deploy a global missile defense system that is capable of countering missiles of all ranges.
		Moreover, the United States' exclusive reliance on retaliatory threats to dissuade aggression is morally questionable in light of the availability of defensive technologies that can serve the same purpose.

	Missile Defense and the Weaponization of Space
		To many these technologies suggest a more expansive aim for missile defense: as a possible means for the United States to weaponize space and achieve dominance of the ultimate military high ground.
		With the leadership in the United States thinking so intently about the possible weaponization of space, it is important to consider the clear dual-use potential of some of the advanced systems envisioned as part of missile defense.
		Concerted oversight and scrutiny is necessary to prevent the missile defense project transforming itself from a means of defending the U.S. homeland into a destabilizing and self-defeating attempt to dominate space.

		“Fielding such a capability would improve the defense of the United States against long-range missiles,” he said, “especially those launched from the Middle East.” It would extend protection to America’s European allies “protecting their populations from attack and reducing the risk of coercion or flmail,” Flory said.

	Bush's $396 Billion Military Budget: "Leave No Defense Contractor Behind"
		It's true that Bush mentioned the word "missile defense" at every available opportunity and spoke disparagingly about arms accords like the Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty, but when it came down to how much he would actually spend on the military, he pledged a modest $50 billion increase over ten years, about $5 billion per year.
		A quick review of the Pentagon's "Program Acquisition Costs by Weapon System" for FY 2003 indicates that more than one-third of the Pentagon's $68 billion weapons procurement budget for the year will be allocated to big ticket, Cold War era systems that have little or nothing to do with the war on terrorism.
		By contrast, increased spending on precision munitions like the Boeing Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), the Raytheon Tomahawk cruise missile, and a variety of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, all of which were heavily utilized in the war in Afghanistan, are slated to receive $3.2 billion in the FY 2003 budget.
