In response to the lack of a comprehensive tool to assess a country1s defense sector and its ability to counter a range of security threats, a RAND team developed the Defense Sector Assessment Rating Tool (DSART). The tool consists of six assessments to quantitatively and qualitatively determine a country's defense sector capabilities and potential areas for reform, and it is designed so that it can be adapted to a changing security environment.

The role of the United States and its global military presence are under debate in the face of changing strategic and economic realities. The authors present a menu of global postures and compare them in terms of the U. S. Air Force bases, combat forces, active-duty personnel, and base operating costs. Ultimately, the choice will depend on perspectives on the role overseas military presence can play in achieving U.S. global security interests.

Since 2008 Russia’s military forces have improved, enabling Russian military operations in Crimea, eastern Ukraine, and Syria. Researchers analyze the societal, political, economic, and demographic factors that undergird Russian military power. Based on these factors, they analyze how Russian ground combat capabilities will evolve. The challenge for the U.S. military will be to compete in different regions without provoking escalation.
