This monograph gives U.S. policymakers a better understanding of the role of the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Forces (SOF) in the region through potential combat operations employing wide area defense and maneuver; deterrence through forward presence and peacetime operations; and security engagement with landpower-dominant allies, partners, and competitors in the region. Landpower's capabilities are also essential for direct support of the air and sea services and other government organization's success when operating in this theater in direct support of U.S. national interests"--Publisher's web site.Security, InternationalSouth China SeaNational securityInternational cooperationUnited StatesArmed ForcesSouth China SeaUnited StatesArmed ForcesAsiaUnited StatesArmed ForcesPacific AreaUnited StatesMilitary relationsSouth China SeaSouth China SeaMilitary relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesMilitary relationsAsiaAsiaMilitary relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesMilitary relationsPacific AreaPacific AreaMilitary relationsUnited StatesSouth China SeaStrategic aspectsSecurity, InternationalNational securityInternational cooperation.Bouchat Clarence J.1399594Army War College (U.S.).Strategic Studies Institute,Army War College (U.S.).Press,AWCAWCGPOBOOK9910708220503321U.S. landpower in the South China Sea3540647UNINA
