GCIS INTELLIGENCE UPDATE: Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, released on February 8, 2011, the USA's new National Military Strategy in replacement of the earlier strategy released in 2004 when Mr.George Bush was the President. The text of the new strategy is available in PDF Format below.

The fight against terrorism and extremism emanating from the Af-Pak and other regions continues to receive priority in the new strategy too, but the new strategy envisages an enhanced focus    on  China.

This is causing the region’s security architecture to change rapidly, creating new challenges and opportunities for our national security and leadership.
