Pay attention to section IX. This section specifically outlines what you can expect to see coming out of the next National Military Strategy Review and, subsequently, the defense budget requests in the coming years.

FYI, if you don't already know, this document is very important. It sets the goals and tone for all the agencies below NCA. Each agency (DoD, DoS, CIA, FBI, INS, FAA, etc, etc) will be required to review/update its own Policies and Strategies to support those outlined in the National Security Strategy. Over time, policies from previous admins National Security Startegies that are contrary to those here and still being implemented by the lower levels of govt will run head on into the mandates of this this document. It has wide ranging impact that will bring smiles to many on this forum, though patience is required as the wheels of govt turn slowly.

I hope he strengthens the INS and ENFORCES border security. Without that, may as well tear the whole thing up.

It is unfortunate that you are correct, but at least we have someone in place that is pushing and prodding these wheels in the right direction.

Pay attention to section IX.

Reading this is like music.

It would be hard to implement during peacetime. Just as, in peace time, all the wrong people rise through the ranks, it is also hard to implement radical changes in the way things are done. Its hard to get a sense of urgency, but moreover its hard because you don't get any immediate feedback to know if what you are doing will work. But in the present climate we should be able to work a lot of this out.
