The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S. Army War College and is the strategic level study agent for issues related to national security and military strategy with emphasis on geostrategic analysis. Studies produced by civilian and military analysts concern topics having strategic implications for the Army, the Department of Defense, and the larger national security community. Paraphrased from the Foreword by Douglas C. Lovelace, Jr., SSI's Director: Much of today's defense literature calls for new ways of thinking, ways that appreciate the challenges of a new millennium. Yet, we find surprisingly little that is new in our nation's current strategy, particularly those regarding homeland security. Ideas that helped us achieve victory in the 20th century may only hinder us in an era shaped by the forces of globalization. Lieutenant Colonel Antulio J. Echevarria II and Professor Bert Tussing have examined our National Strategy for Homeland Security (NSHS). Disturbingly, they find that the NSHS fails to address the challenges that globalization poses for the security of the American homeland. The NSHS focuses primarily within the nation's borders and lacks a comprehensive approach to the problem of homeland security, a problem of global proportions. To remedy these deficiencies, the authors propose a Global Defense-in-Depth that employs some of the opportunities afforded by globalization to address its challenges. Antulio J. Echevarria II, an Army lieutenant colonel, is the Director of National Security Affairs at SSI. Bert B. Tussing has been Professor of National Security Affairs for the Center for Strategic Leadership at the U.S. Army War College since October 1999. He served in the United States Marine Corps for 24 years.…
