INTO THE UNKNOWN

The close of the twentieth century brings uncertainty for the Marine Corps. A new national security strategy is still evolving. Old alliances are eroding. The world order is shifting, and the future role of the United States in that emerging order has yet to be established. Threats to U.S. national interests are changing. The confusion of transition obscures roles and missions, budgets, manpower, and resource allocation.

" 34 The Marine Corps is synonymous with controversy, and the new round of challenges will be no different. The Corps must adapt, and its leadership will have to be on guard.
