Transformation has all the Services reevaluating the way they think about warfare and more importantly, how they can best leverage technology, be strategically mobile and thus relevant to future operating environment. Getting to the fight quickly coupled with sustainability appears to be the long pole in the tent for most of the Department of Defense (DOD). The term expeditionary pervades most Service 's common vocabulary, yet it is discussed superficially not holistically.

Looking at the historical evolution of the Services through numerous case studies presented evidence that there is a cultural divide that detracts from the US DOD 's combat effectiveness. This gap
