英文摘要	The U.S. global defense posture — the size, location, types, and capabilities of the U.S. forward-based military forces — is an integral and critical component of the U.S. security strategy, allowing the U.S. military to respond quickly and effectively to threats and contingencies. Forward deployed Army forces and the military infrastructure associated with them play an important role in the ability of Army forces to project power, deter adversaries, and engage with partner forces. As the security environment continues to evolve, the United States needs to assess continuously the applicability of its global defense posture to the emerging needs. This report develops a methodology and a framework for global Army positioning in the context of the global defense posture of the United States. The key element of the framework is the interplay of missions assigned to Army forces, types of bases, and base locations. The report uses the framework to assess U.S. Army forward stationing from a perspective of maximum responsiveness and effectiveness in addressing potential crises and increased security cooperation. The report identifies locations in several states in which either increased or new Army presence may be useful in advancing national security goals. Further action depends on determination of a need for greater robustness, faster responsiveness, or deepening a critical security and defense relationship in a given region. The framework presented in this report could be used by combatant commands for assessing optimal forward presence. The methodology has the potential to be developed further as a decision support tool for DoD's future posture decisions.
