La r\u00e9volution pour Moby Dick<\/em>, selon Ullman<\/h4>\n

L’influent analyste Harlan K. Ullman, proche de l’Atlantic Council et dont on cite<\/a> r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement les commentaires, ajoute ses propres r\u00e9flexions sur la crise interne (budg\u00e9taire notamment) du Pentagone. Il juge cette crise pressante, relayant \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard l’avis de l’amiral Mullen<\/a>, et il estime qu’elle n\u00e9cessite des r\u00e9visions absolument radicales.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe texte est sur UPI, relay\u00e9 par SpaceWar.com<\/em>, du 1er septembre 2010<\/a>. Nous citons la partie comprenant les propositions de Ullman, apr\u00e8s qu’il ait d\u00e9taill\u00e9 et rappel\u00e9 les conditions de la situation explosive du Pentagone, dit Moby Dick<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abHowever, if we are to keep a modern, well-trained professional military, tough, unpalatable and even Draconian measures are needed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbOut-of-the-box, and even radical, thinking to unearth fresh ideas is essential and probably unlikely. The fact is that budget and economic realities mean that we may have to reduce the size of the Defense Department by one-quarter to one-third or more over the coming years, something that is already happening in the United Kingdom. The political opposition to such steps will be thermonuclear.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbWhat is needed is a strategy based on a new foundation. The first pillar is maintaining a highly professional yet smaller military. The second is finding a 21st-century equivalent of mobilization.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbWithin this smaller active duty force of perhaps 1 million, some part, say around one-quarter to one-third, would be in cadre or modified lower condition of readiness stand down status with the ability to return to full active service in 6 to 9 months.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbTo gain this capacity, exploiting the \u00ab\u00a0knowledge revolution\u00a0\u00bb with distance learning and other techniques is essential to educating and training the total force. We will no doubt buy fewer numbers of very capable and expensive systems (and drive up unit costs dramatically with the attendant political debate). Hence, applying funds selectively for keeping not a warm but a tepid industrial base may become a necessity.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe Pentagon arguably faces its most serious post World War II fiscal crisis at a time when our enemies are in some ways more dangerous, clever and less affected by our arms, no matter how brilliantly used. In this environment we must think rather than spend our way clear of danger. Otherwise, the dreaded post-Vietnam hollow force could seem favorable in comparison.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
