In the face of today's security challenges, there is widespread recognition of the need to think and act in new ways to ensure both national and collective security interests. Transforming Defense Capabilities succinctly describes what transformation means in this context, why it is essential, and how to translate innovative concepts into relevant, feasible, and useful practice.

The authors define all aspects of the transformation process, offering useful insights and proven methods for developing integrated defense capabilities. Demonstrating how enabling technologies can be combined with personnel development, organizational improvements, and creative change, they present a comprehensive guide for implementing an essential, capabilities-based approach to international defense transformation.
