The U.S. military strategy is set to be revamped, with its focus changing from assigning forces and planning combat regionally to a more global approach that would include areas currently neglected. The adjustments are expected to have hardware implications, particularly as the Pentagon starts drafting its Fiscal 2006 budget in the coming months. Other issues are also under scrutiny. Air Force officials, for instance, are trying to determine whether their long-range strike plans should entail developing a new bomber or whether the mission could be accomplished better another way. Spotlighting an "arc of instability" is one of the main changes that planners will focus on, says Rear Adm. Richard W. Hunt, the Joint Staff's deputy director for strategy and policy. Four regions-Southwest Asia, Northeast Asia, the East Asian littorals and Europe- dominate the thinking in the current national se- curity strategy. The "arc of instability" would include Latin and South America and encompass transnational threats not covered in the existing approach.

Hunt）将军说，着眼于“不稳定的弧度”是规划者将要关注的主要变化之一。在当前的国家安全战略中，西南亚，东北亚，东亚沿海地区和欧洲这四个地区占据主导地位。 “不稳定弧”将包括拉丁美洲和南美，并包括现有方法未涵盖的跨国威胁。
