ARTICLE: Embracing New Role (Baltimore Sun)…Lawrence Korb and Max Bergmann, may 20, 2008
Quietly, and perhaps without fully realizing it, the U.S. military has begun embracing a new, wide-ranging international role that will compel it to intervene in many countries throughout the world. Yet this is a role that virtually every country would support and one that should be widely embraced here as well: the role of global first responder.
Lawrence J. Korb, a former assistant secretary of defense, is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. Max A. Bergmann is the deputy policy director at the National Security Network.
Good example on the application of all the elements of national power.
