Description: "Holding the Line presents objective and detailed assessments of the U.S. defense budget and America's military strategy. Its contributors conclude that the United States must reshape its military to face the real challenges of the coming decades. They call for smaller U.S. forces with more modern weapons, sensors, avionics, and communications systems.

They offer recommendations that would enable the U.S. military to transform its forces and make them more effective, while holding the line on defense budget increases."--BOOK JACKET.
