Military Readiness: Thinking About the Three Big Questions
U.S. Army SGT David N. Gunn


For each service in the U.S. military, readiness stands as a top priority. The 2018 National Defense Strategy identifies rebuilding military readiness as the first of its priorities. The current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff lists “restoring joint readiness” as one of his key focus areas.[1] In 2017, then Secretary of Defense James Mattis used the concept of readiness to justify requests for increases in funding to the Department of Defense.[2] A focus and prioritization of readiness is not new for the joint force. Every Chief of Staff includes readiness as a key theme in their annual posture statements delivered to Congress.
