The U.S. Navy in the World (1970-2010): Context for U.S. Navy Capstone Strategies and Concepts: Volume I

The U.S. Navy promulgated over 35 “capstone” strategy, policy, concept and vision documents between 1970 and 2010, to provide guidance to the service and explain its value to its civilian political leaders as well as to external audiences. This volume presents graphics that illustrate the context within which these documents were written, over the entire 40-year span, including general global and national political, economic, military, naval, inter-service and academic events and trends, in slide handout format. This volume is the fourth in the CNA Navy Strategy Series. For easier use, some of the slide graphics have been enlarged, in The U.S. Navy in the World (1970-2010): Context for U.S. Navy Capstone Strategies and Concepts: Volume II. Four other volumes in the series provide more extensive detail for each decade. Click here to view the rest of the volumes in the series.
