The Rumsfeld doctrine (named after its originator Donald Rumsfeld) is primarily concerned with the transformation of the United States Military. It seeks to increase force readiness and decrease the amount of supply required to maintain forces, by reducing the number in a theater. This is done mainly by using LAVs (Lightly Armored Vehicles) to scout for enemies who are then destroyed via airstrikes. The basic tenets of this military strategy are:
- High technology combat systems
- Reliance on air forces
- Small, nimble ground forces
The Rumsfeld doctrine is essentially the opposite of the Powell doctrine.
