National Security Strategy of the United States of America

Azizullah Basir

Abstract


The United States National Security Strategy outlines key military, political, and economic objectives in both domestic and foreign domains and aligns the nation's resources, capabilities, and methods to achieve these goals and ensure national security. U.S. National Security Strategy documents are divided into two categories:

1. Core Documents: These include the National Security Strategy, the National Defense Strategy, the Quadrennial Defense Review, and the National Military Strategy, all necessary for transparency and public information.

2. Supplementary Documents: These include the National Strategy for Homeland Security, the National Strategy for Combating Terrorism, the National Intelligence Strategy, the Cybersecurity Strategy, the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review, and the Quadrennial Intelligence Community Review, which are not mandated by Congress.
