here are many questions about what the US will face in 21st Century warfare and how the US should best prepare for it. One consistent thread woven throughout debates on future US conflicts is the asymmetric nature of the threats 21st Century America will undoubtedly face. This is necessarily so because the US, as global superpower, has no peers on the world stage. There are also no signs of a peer military competitor in the near future. US capability to project and sustain its sizable combined air, land, sea power to anyplace on the globe are without equal. So what is the nature of this asymmetric threat? Much more than a capabilities imbalance (or the means of war), US involvement in any future conflict will be asymmetric because the very interests of the US dictate that the ends and ways of applying US military might will be quite different from those of any adversary it faces. Understanding the extent and nature of these asymmetries will serve the US well in preparing for, confronting and defeating future adversaries. This paper will review the range of asymmetries confronting the US and recommend what the US should do in order to best prepare to triumph over asymmetric threats.
