America’s Pacific Rebalance
The US military has entered a period of historic change after more than a decade of war following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The key change is a strategic "rebalance" toward the Asia-Pacific region, reflecting its countries' central role for global security and prosperity in the twenty-first century.
