The Defence Strategic Guidance (DSG) unveiled by the Obama administration in early January is meant to serve three purposes. First, it seals the reorientation of the strategic priorities of the US, pointing to Asia-Pacific as the primary area of interest in the political and military domains. Second, it sets the future course for the transformation of the US military. Third, the DSG lays out the way in which the Obama administration intends to reconcile these goals with the need to also address the challenge of the growing public debt.
