-364- A Historical Analysis of <strong>Cadre</strong> adequate emphasis.” 339 Before the Clinton administration took power, reconstitution was already deemphasized by defense planners even though it was an explicit part of the National Military Strategy of the United States. 340 The change in administration would further reduce the emphasis on reconstitution and cadre forces. 9.9.2—Bottom-Up Review When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, he promised to cut defense spending by about $10 billion more per year than the previous administration. 341 Upon assuming office, Secretary of Defense Les Aspin initiated a comprehensive review of the nation’s defense strategy and force structure. 342 In October of 1993, the DoD published the results of this review in the Report of the Bottom Up Review (BUR). 343 This report does not refer to either cadre or reconstitution. The report rejects the need for a reconstitution strategy because “the Cold War is behind us. The Soviet Union is no longer the threat that drove our defense decision-making for four and a half decades- that determine our strategy and tactics, our doctrine, the size and shape of our forces, the design of our weapons, and the size of our defense budgets-is gone.” 344 With no threat of a Soviet resurgence, the justification for cadre units was gone. Force planning shifted almost exclusively to finding the right mix of AC and RC forces that would be ready to deploy to two nearly simultaneous Major Regional Contingencies (MRCs). 345 This has remained the focus of force planners until the early 21 st ____________ 339 Peterson and Patrick (1992), p. 58 340 Powell (1992b), p. 7 341 Larson et al (2001), p. 44 342 Troxell (1997), p. 13 343 Aspin (1993) 344 Aspin (1993), p. 1 345 Not everyone agreed with this focus. In a most extreme example, Hart (1998) argues that the end of the Cold War allows the military to return to a force of citizen soldiers like that which existed before the NDA of 1920.
-365- A Historical Analysis of <strong>Cadre</strong> century when the need to build a force capable of sustaining long –term rotation became a significant planning focus. This shift to planning for rotation is the impetus for considering cadre units once again in this dissertation.
