American
Landpower
is
a
strategic
instrument
of
state
policy
and
needs
to
be
considered
as
such.
This
monograph
explores
and
explains
the
nature
of
Landpower,
both
in
general
terms
and
also
with
particular
regard
to
the
American
case.
The
monograph
argues
that:
(1)
Landpower
is
unique
in
the
character
of
the
quality
it
brings
to
the
American
joint
team
for
national
security;
(2)
the
U.S.
has
a
permanent
need
for
the
human
quality
in
Landpower
that
this
element
provides
inherently;
(3)
Landpower
is
always
and,
indeed,
necessarily
strategic
in
its
meaning
and
implications—it
is
a
quintessentially
strategic
instrument
of
state
policy
and
politics;
(4)
strategic
Landpower
is
unavoidably
and
beneficially
joint
in
its
functioning,
this
simply
is
so
much
the
contemporary
character
of
American
strategic
Landpower
that
we
should
consider
jointness
integral
to
its
permanent
nature;
and
(5)
strategic
Landpower
has
an
enduring
position
of
dominance
on
the
joint
military
team
because
conflict,
war,
and
warfare
have
demonstrated
all
too
convincingly
over
the
course
of
2,500
years
that
they
do
not
register
much
of
great
relative
significance
with
respect
to
change
over
time.
In
short,
the
strategic
Landpower
maintained
today
safely
can
be
assumed
to
be
necessary
for
security
long
into
the
future.
No
matter
how
familiar
the
concept
of
strategic
Landpower
is
when
identified
and
expressed
thus,
it
is
a
physical
and
psychological
reality
that
has
persisted
to
strategic
effect
through
all
of
the
strategic
history
to
which
we
have
access.
