Hard Choices: Responsible Defense in an Age of Austerity

Authors of the newly released report by the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), Hard Choices: Responsible Defense in an Age of Austerity, judge that "the U.S. military’s ability to execute America’s global engagement strategy, as it is currently articulated, will be placed at high risk if total national defense cuts exceed $500-550 billion over 10 years. This judgment could change if policymakers recalibrate America’s global engagement strategy and/or generate savings by reforming military pay and benefits for future service members."
