The Next National Defense Strategy: Mission-Based Force Planning
Book •
Frank G. Hoffman's piece in Parameters argues for replacing or rethinking the traditional two-war force-planning construct with a mission-based approach that better aligns resources to prioritized national defense missions.
He highlights insolvency in defense resources and recommends clearer allocation of means to ends, advocating transparency about acceptable risks and trade-offs.
The article influenced debate about sizing forces, risk acceptance, and prioritization in the 2026 National Defense Strategy.
Hoffman also discusses integrating industrial base considerations and protecting high-value, low-density capabilities.
His work aims to provide force planners and policymakers a more practical framework for budgeting and strategy under constrained resources.
