57:13Now PlayingThe Abrams Doctrine is widely interpreted as an expression of General Creighton Abrams’s determination to maintain a clear linkage between the employment of the Army and the engagement of public support for military operations. Others interpret the Total Force policy as a means to maintain a sufficient force to meet the nation’s security needs without the costly burden of maintaining a large standing army. Whether the Abrams Doctrine was intended to serve as a tripwire for the presidential use of military power or was based on force structure needs alone is the subject of ongoing debate. Join us for a discussion on the impact of the Abrams Doctrine in the post-Vietnam era and its relevance in modern army force structure considerations.
