Environmental Security and Preventative Defense John D Auger Studies Paper by the US Army War College, Center for Strategic Leadership "The strategy of Preventive Defense is built on the premise that defense establishments have an important role to play in building democracy, trust and understanding, and in addressing problems that lead to regional tensions or in promoting communication and cooperation.

In light of this, the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Environmental Security) asked the Center for Strategic Leadership, U.S. Army War College to address environmental degradation and scarcity and the role they play in the causes of conflict and instability in the post--Cold War world.

In the strict military sense, that revolution has to do with quantum changes in areas ranging from information technologies to those dealing with precision strike weaponry. These changes, in turn, will require more adjustments in military doctrine and organization."
