It is more important than ever for the U.S. and its major allies to coordinate military decisions and, in particular, their plans for future procurements. The U.S. needs to develop a plan for helping major allies such as the NATO countries, South Korea, Japan, the nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council and Israel to maintain the essential elements of a modern military. The U.S. needs to create a strategy that will provide key allies with essential advanced military capabilities in such areas as integrated air and missile defense, ISR, precision strike, antisubmarine warfare, theater logistics and cyber defense. The sale of missile defense systems such as Patriot and THAAD to Gulf allies is an example of what can be done. But it is only a start.
