This memorandum provides a framework for considering US interests and objectives in Southwest Asia, and policy options for the future. It traces the evolution of US policy toward the region and changing assumptions regarding the nature of US interests and the threats posed to them, especially the dicotomy between intraregional and extraregional threats. The author notes the long-standing conflict between the goal of protecting US interests against the worst case external military threat to the region, and the objective of maintaining regional stability and a favorable political climate for the continued flow of oil. Finally, he discusses three options for protecting US interests in the region and indicates the extent to which each enhances or inhibits the achievement of various recognized objectives. (Author).

This memorandum centers its attention primarily upon Afghanistan and Iran. Soviet interests in Iran are inextricably connected to the Afghanistan issue since a Soviet foothold in the latter presents both opportunities and risks in a policy aimed at, if not control, then influence projection into Iran. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, then, can be viewed not only in the context of securing stability on the USSR's southern border, but also in the broader context of an extension of Soviet hegemony into the Persian Gulf.

This memorandum examines the interrationship of the political objectives, security policy, and military strategy as it pertains to achieving US national interests in Southwest Asia. The author reviews the major differences between Force Development Planning and Operational Planning and postulates that a lack of understanding of these differences among policymakers and strategists causes disconnects among objectives, policies, and strategy. He, then, introduces and discusses six strategic guidelines that have the potential to mitigate the adverse strategic effect of disconnects in the strategic process in the context of Southwest Asia. The author concludes that potential policy-strategy disconnects could constrain the United States should military force be needed to secure US national interests in Southwest Asia. (Author).

Southeast Asia, a "Pacific Rim" region with diverse political structures, religions and cultures, presents the United States with real opportunities to fully develop and strengthen mutually beneficial security and economic partnerships with the region's countries Unlike other regions that are demanding significant resource investments (S W Asia, Bosnia), the high level of stability currently enjoyed by the region requires only modest investment to return significant payoffs Additionally, the close proximity of this region to China provides the U S with additional policy alternatives should China move in directions unfavorable to U S national interests This strategic assessment begins with a review of U S interests pertinent to the region, outlines key factors and trends influencing U S - S E Asia relationships and highlights challenges, threats and opportunities With this as background, a discussion of policy objectives and the means (tools of statecraft) suitable to achieve these objectives is provided.
