First sentence: Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has found itself in a new and continually changing security environment: Instead of facing a known enemy in a limited number of locations (Europe and Korea), the U.S. military has frequently been deployed overseas, often on short notice, in support of crises ranging in size from humanitarian relief to Operation Desert Storm.
