From the foreword: "The size, reach, and complexity of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) demands an executive corps with the skill, expertise, and temperament appropriate to the challenges that a world power faces.1 With personnel in more than 180 countries to carry out its responsibilities, the department commands a budget that rivals the gross domestic product of Sweden—and with its service contractors, it employs an equivalent labor force. Its leaders are responsible for military capabilities that include Special Operations, classic conventional units (Army maneuver battalions, air superiority squadrons, etc.), and nuclear missiles, and for business functions that range from basic research to a worldwide school system for the children of servicemembers. In the last generation, DoD’s missions have included disaster relief, the insertion of military units halfway around the world on a week’s notice, and the takedown of nation-states."
