The Heritage Foundation reports: “We have the best soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen the world has ever known…but if they don’t have the right type of strategic goals and objectives, the right type of operational goals and direction that then filter down to the tactical level, it’s like a hamster—no matter how much exertion you are putting into that wheel, you are just not going anywhere,” said West.
West identified four strategic goals he said should be the military’s focus:
- Deny the enemy sanctuary.
- Cut off the enemy’s flow of men, materials, and resources.
- Win the information war.
- Reduce the enemy’s sphere of influence.
