| Description: |
The National Defense Strategy supports the National Security Strategy by establishing a set of overarching defense objectives that guide the Department's security activities and provide directions for the National Military Strategy. The National Defense Strategy objective serves as links between military activities and those of other government agencies in pursuit of national goals. The National Defense Strategy provides four guidelines for implementing the strategy: create an active defense-in-depth; conduct continuous transformation, adopt a capabilities-based approach; and manage risks. |
