The Joint Staff asked RAND to develop a new framework around passive defenses and suggest ways that the Joint Staff could assess those capabilities to determine whether such capabilities can contribute to achieving national-level goals of deterring major conflict in the Pacific and in Europe or to prevailing in major conflicts if deterrence fails.
The authors reviewed guidance documents and U.S. military doctrine to identify key national goals and the military approach to meeting those goals, as well as definitions and concepts related to passive defenses. They considered recent conflicts involving the U.S. military for examples of situations in which defenses were particularly important. Using those assessments, they developed a framework to better understand the value of passive defenses to the modern U.S. military.
