One of the 25 issues that the Roles and Missions Commission intends to study as it examines the current Department of Defense structure centers on overseas presence: Can DoD more efficiently and effectively accomplish the purposes of military overseas presence? The purpose of this paper is to put overseas presence in a comprehensive strategic perspective and suggest that perhaps the time has arrived to make overseas presence a program that receives its fair share of analysis.
