According to USNI News, “The Navy’s ability to defend the nation’s vital security interests is “marginal,” – with the caveat that its score is trending to “weak” in capability and readiness – while the Marine Corps’ ability is graded as “strong,” according to a think tank’s latest survey of United States military power.”
From where does that dire capability and readiness rating come? The Heritage Foundation’s 2022 Index of U.S. Military Strength.
According to Heritage, the Pentagon as a whole is in dire straights and is only “marginally” able to defend the United States’ key interests. The three main “interests” the report examines are:
Defense of the homeland;
Successful conclusion of a major war that has the potential to destabilize a region of critical interest to the U.S.; and
Preservation of freedom of movement within the global commons (the sea, air, outer-space, and cyberspace domains) through which the world conducts its business.
