Who should exert the greatest influence over the defense budget-the four services, which actually prepare American forces for battle, or the nation's 10 warlords, combatant commanders who lead them in operations? It's a big question in Washington, where the Pentagon has recently adopted new rules favoring the warlords. The result will go a long way toward determining how much the nation will devote to immediate needs in Iraq and Afghanistan and how much to the development of future combat capabilities. Six commanders deal with regions (Europe, Pacific, Africa, Mideast, Latin America, North America), and four with functions (transportation, global strike, joint-force preparation, special operations). They and their staffs are preoccupied with "warlord" issues-readiness, training, sustainment, and so forth, all of which are vital to today's fight. The four services also are obviously interested in all of these factors, but they have another preoccupation-preparing the forces to be strong tomorrow. Long-term investment of this type, of course, pays no dividends in the short term. Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates calls it "next-war-itis."
