C: Prevail Against Adversaries
When necessary, the Armed Forces will defeat adversaries. Developments in the security environment necessitate a Joint Force
that can achieve tactical and operational success and prevail in a manner that establishes favorable security conditions and
ensures enduring victories. Terrorist attacks demonstrate that conflict is not limited to geographic borders and that defeating
root causes of terrorism requires a total national effort. The United States will constantly strive to enlist the support
of the international community and increase the capabilities of partners to contend with common challenges, but will not hesitate
to act alone, if necessary.
