and Maintaining Global Security and Stability
From the Preface by ADM James G. Stavridis, USN
[This] book . . . provides a detailed analysis of what we need to do to
effectively build and sustain enduring partnerships, examines our cur-
rent state, and provides a roadmap with specific, actionable recom-
mendations to strengthen our processes and employ a holistic joint,
interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational approach to part-
nerships. Two of the insights that I think we often miss are that our Skin
partners have a say in the process and that we need to manage the
in the
process as an integrated portfolio and make investment/reinvestment
game
decisions based upon capability objectives that we and our partners
agree upon. The U.S. military simply cannot engage alone. Partner-
ship must be planned and executed in order to set meaningful objec- Jeffery E. Marshall
tives as well as to synchronize available resources to achieve them.
