Michael O'Hanlon offers an analysis of the future of the world's ground forces: Where are large-scale conflicts or other catastrophes most plausible? Which of these could be important enough to require the option of a military response? And which of these could in turn demand significant numbers of ground forces in their resolution? O'Hanlon is not predicting or advocating big US roles in such operations-only cautioning against overconfidence that we can and will avoid them.
Michael O'Hanlon is research director for the Foreign Policy program at Brookings, USA where he specializes in defense policy. He has written extensively on Northeast Asian security and has traveled frequently to the war zones of the broader Middle East on research trips over the past decade.
'His findings should be of particular interest to defence officials charged with the development of planning scenarios and the design of future forces. It might also help military and civilian officials examine critically the assumptions on which defence priorities and spending are based.' -War, Conflict and the Military
