The contributors assess the current state of integration between strategy and manpower, formulate conclusions concerning how this relationship should evolve in the future, and tackle related questions of vital importance for the enduring strength of U.S. national security, among them: What role should manpower play as a major element of national power. What attention has classical strategic thought given to manpower issues. What influence do manpower considerations have on current U.S. strategic planning. How will military manpower procurement be affected by emerging demographic, technological, and budgetary developments. What role will manpower play in future conflicts, and how will manpower developments influence strategy. The Strategic Dimension of Military Manpower also contains two summaries of round-table discussions - one focusing on methodological and analytical issues, and the other presenting viewpoints on the strategy-manpower linkage from the Soviet Union, France, West Germany, and the Third World.
