National objectives are what a nation wants to accomplish.
They are generally broad and enduring in nature and not usually singularly classed as political, military, or economic in character. National objectives tend to impact all three of these areas at once and to change slowly in an evolutionary manner. Among these are the physical security of our territory and that of our allies, the safety of our citizens, and our economic well-being. In such cases, we will use our resources to advance these interests insofar as the costs and risks are commensurate with the interests at stake. Our intervention in Haiti and participation in NATO operations in Bosnia are relevant examples.
