4: Creating a Global Anti-Terrorism Environment
In addition to defending the US homeland and supporting civil authorities, our strategy will diminish the conditions that
permit terrorism to flourish. To defeat terrorists we will support national and partner nation efforts to deny state sponsorship,
support, and sanctuary to terrorist organizations. We will work to deny terrorists safe haven in failed states and ungoverned
regions. Working with other nations’ militaries and other governmental agencies, the Armed Forces help to establish favorable
security conditions and increase the capabilities of partners. The relationships developed in these interactions contribute
to a global antiterrorism environment that further reduces threats to the United States, its allies and its interests. For
example, intelligence partnerships with other nations can take advantage of foreign expertise and areas of focus and provide
access to previously denied areas. These relationships are essential mission components to protecting the United States, contributing
to deterrence and conflict prevention, as well as preventing surprise attacks.
