Pentagon and the American General Staff

Abstract

A proposal for the reorganiztion of the Pentagon is submitted ~vi th the full knowledge that similar findings by individuals far more experienced have been disregarded. My efforts were aimed at not only what is wrong with the present system, but what has worked in the past. Two major obstacles made my vmrk more complicated than anticipated. Due to the ongoing debate concerning the Joint Chiefs� of Staff, new information bacame available over the past few months, some of which had direct bearing on my studies. Also, as an insider looking out, I found it hard to accept many of the criticisms aimed at my profession.
