Adaptive Defense Analysis & Planning
The international security environment must be equipped to meet the challenges of an adaptive global network of radical jihadists, the proliferation of advanced technologies, the fracturing of critical states in regions of instability and the evolution of effective non-technical, disruptive methods of insurgency and asymmetric warfare. Our Adaptive Defense Analysis and Planning Team (ADAPT) brings a rich portfolio of knowledge and expertise to the field of international security and defense consulting. With extensive experience in conducting "Red Teams," as well as supporting joint experiments, war games, and advanced technology demonstrations, we offer innovative solutions to understanding the 21st century adversary.
The need for vigilance
For the United States, the stakes are very high – as long as the U.S. commitment to Japan’s security (including nuclear security) remains strong and credible, it is very probable that Japan will continue to choose not to seek nuclear weapons. By contrast, an erosion of that credibility almost certainly would lead to a reversal of Japan’s long-standing non-nuclear posture, triggering wider proliferation chains, nuclear competition and instabilities throughout Asia, and a virtual collapse of a half-century of U.S. global efforts to contain proliferation.
One way ahead is to look for new approaches to opportunities for success already currently on the table.
These are longstanding arrangements. To change the status quo nevertheless remains a challenge. Negotiations over American (largely Marine Corps) re-deployments from Okinawa to Guam have taken many years, and still are not finalized. Furthermore, replacing the Marine Corps facility at Futenma Air Base with another airfield on Okinawa has dragged on since 1995, and lingers unresolved.
