„Defense Planning Guidance“ 1992
“Paul Wolfowitz, then-under secretary of defense for policy, supervised the drafting of a 1992 policy statement on America’s mission in the post-Cold War era. Called the „Defense Planning Guidance,“ it is an internal set of military guidelines that typically is prepared every few years by the Defense Department. This policy guidance is distributed to military leaders and civilian Defense Department heads to provide them with a geopolitical framework for assessing their force level and bugetary needs.“
