The Future of Warfare

Prince Albert-Frederick the Field Marshal of Falleentium has recently authored a book and a few pamphlets on what he imagines the future of warfare will be. This is a pamphlet the Defence Ministry has distributed to Parliament in order to get support for their reforms. 
"The future of warfare will no longer require millions of men struggling over marked battlefields. With the advent of the nuclear bomb, I fear that such times have come to pass. The devastation that nuclear weaponry can unleash on both the armies and populace cannot be understated. With the Red Federation still functioning and with the capability to produce more nuclear weapons, I fear that their arsenal is yet expanding and that if we do not keep them away from our shores these dreadful weapons will be unleashed on the Falleen people. This is why we must build a nuclear arsenal of our own and a force capable of transporting them to the Federation. In order to do this, sacrifices to the size of the Imperial Army must be made to pay for and equip our Navy and Air Force. 
A key concept, that I believe will be important for the future of warfare is 'power projection' power projection is the ability to show force in support of our allies and to showcase our capabilities to our enemies. The primary arms of this power projection will be in the Navy and in the Air Force. We must prevail upon our allies to enable elements of both of these arms to be stationed in their countries to ensure that at all times we can react to crisis that require an immediate response. We must also send advisors and officers to our friends to better prepare them in the complexities of modern warfare. 
Another key reform will be training and equipping soldiers to be a part of rapid response forces to secure beachheads in foreign nations and follow them up with rapid deployments from our army. To do this, we will need to expand the Imperial Marines and motorise our army. We simply lack the money required to do so with the force we have. By strategically shrinking the army, we can better equip, train, and devote more time and energy into creating the finest army in the world. It will be the burden of High Command, the Imperial Office, and the Federal Government to all work in syngergy to bring our forces up to scratch in this new era of warfare, but, I do not hesitate to believe that we can do it. For Together We Triumph."
