As the U.S. reshapes and downsizes its armed forces for the future, the primary purpose continues to be support for joint operations and a modernization strategy that focuses on increased capabilities. The organization realignment, initiated by the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Act of 1986, forced the armed services to increase joint union and cooperation. However, an over-critical hypothesis suggests that Goldwater-Nichols failed to adequately establish newly defined roles, missions, functions, and failed to properly initiate a future organization for the armed forces in a joint environment. The roles, missions, functions, and service organizations were used to highlight the similarities and differences of the U.S. Armed Forces. The Canadian Forces were also used as a comparison to give prominence to the similarities and differences of an integrated and unified military service.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biblioscholar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47573552791703,"sku":"9781249428381","price":5107.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781249428381.webp?v=1774893153","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/unification-of-the-armed-forces-9781249428381","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
