2 unusual facts about A National Strategic Narrative


A National Strategic Narrative

In 2009, during a strategy brief to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Captain Wayne Porter (US Navy) noted the lack of a United States grand strategy, which could act as a guide or inspiration for all strategies of the US government.

The 15 page article was titled A National Strategic Narrative by Mr. Y (a pseudonym for Captain Porter and Colonel Mykleby, reminiscent of the X Article which helped galvanize U.S. consensus on Containment of the Soviet Union from the 1940s up until the collapse of the Soviet Union decades later).
