Russia Slams New U.S. Military Strategy As 'Confrontational'

The strategy is being updated to reflect the new global security situation, one in which the US is facing near-peer adversaries like Russia and China while simultaneously having to handle diffuse militant groups like the Islamic State.
"Since the last National Military Strategy was published in 2011, global disorder has significantly increased while some of our comparative military advantage has begun to erode," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey wrote in his introduction to the strategy document.
"We now face multiple, simultaneous security challenges from traditional state actors and transregional networks of sub-state groups — all taking advantage of rapid technological change," Dempsey continued. "We are more likely to face prolonged campaigns than conflicts that are resolved quickly."

Thu Jul 2, 2015 6:11am EDT
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Thursday a new U.S. military strategy was confrontational and would not help improve relations with Moscow, strained by the crisis in Ukraine.
The strategy, released by the Pentagon on Wednesday, said
Russia had repeatedly demonstrated it does not respect the sovereignty of its neighbors and that it was willing to use force to achieve its goals.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed regret about the content of the document and said it indicated a "confrontational attitude, devoid of any objectivity towards our country".
"Of course this will hardly contribute to attempts to steer bilateral relations in the direction of normalization," he told reporters during a conference call.
Relations between Moscow and the West are at their lowest point since the end of the Cold War, mainly because of the crisis in Ukraine.
The United States and the European Union imposed sanctions on Russia after it seized the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine last year and have accused it of providing pro-Russian separatists in east Ukraine with weapons and soldiers.
"Russia's military actions are undermining regional security directly and through proxy forces," the new National Military Strategy of the United States said.
Moscow denies sending troops and arms to the separatists in a conflict in which more than 6,400 people have been killed and accuses the West of plotting a coup d'etat to topple a Ukrainian president backed by Moscow in February 2014.

The US Army wants to equip cyber protection teams with a "fly-away" kit of hardware and software, that would travel with them.(Photo: US Army)
WASHINGTON — The US Army is seeking to equip its cyber warriors with cutting-edge networking hardware, and it is going outside the traditional acquisitions system to do it.
The easily transportable "fly-away" kit of hardware and software would travel with the Army's cyber protection teams, whose job involves hunting inside the military's networks for intrusions and fighting off cyber attacks.
The Army issued a presolicitation notice June 19 for the equipment, called a deployable defensive cyberspace operations infrastructure capability, which would provide commanders with tools for "quick reaction, cyber defense reinforcement, and security enhancement capabilities," the notice said.
The kits would interface with Army networks to let the teams, "conduct countermeasures in real-time enabling commanders to take immediate action in the execution of network defense," according to an Army news release.
The cyber protection teams work for the military's geographic commands the world over, and are organized to perform one of five key cyber defensive mission functions: mission protection, discovery and counter infiltration, cyber threat emulation, inspection, and cyber support.
Though the Army has fielded 11 hardware kits for these teams, it is seeking next-generation gear that is smaller and lighter, and better able to ingest and analyze large amounts of data, Army officials said.
The presolicitation is for an industry and innovation challenge meant to take advantage of cutting-edge technology outside the traditional federal acquisition system. The winners of the challenge would provide pilot or prototype equipment for an operational evaluation.
The Army is seeking a response from vendors by July 20. Demonstrations are to be held in August.
If industry offers promising capability, the Army will take a look and determine the next course of action, an Army official said. If a determination to procure is made, then the acquisitions community would manage the effort.
A flexible acquisitions vehicle is being used called an "other transaction agreement." The effort is being led by the Consortium for Command, Control, Communications and Computer Technologies, an entity set up as an alternative for non–traditional and small businesses seeking to enter the federal marketplace.
The Army held an industry and innovation day on May 28 in McLean, Virginia, which brought together representatives of government, industry and academia. The event detailed the top two capability gaps for Army cyber: a commander's situational awareness and defense of the Army's network.
The idea is to use the same model for other cyberspace requirements. An event and call for white papers on cyber situational awareness is set for October.
