Against All Enemies Foreign and Domestic

<p>Every American military commissioned officer serving in uniform today took a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic... As America's military transforms to defeat current and future threats could the pursuit of national security unwittingly endanger the very Constitution we are sworn to defend? What future scenarios must America's military be ready for by the year 2020 and what are the implications for the current transformation effort throughout the Department of Defense? This paper explores these critical questions using the scenarios-based future planning methodology described by Peter Schwartz in his book The Art of the Long View: Planning for the Future in an Uncertain World. The intent of this process is to encourage what Peter Schwartz calls an ongoing strategic conversation.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
