伊拉克战争是美国新安全战略出台后的第一场战争。2002年9月20日,美国提出新的安全战略构想,强调以军事实力为后盾,以反恐和保卫国土安全为重点,提出了力量建设由“基于威胁”向“基于能力”转变等一系列观点,特别是在战略指导上提出了“先发制人”战略思想。伊拉克战争从一定意义上讲是美国“先制”战略实践的重要步骤,反映了美国军事战略实质和走向。 The Iraq war was the first war after the introduction of the new U.S. security strategy. On September 20, 2002, the United States put forward a new concept of security strategy. Emphasizing the backing of military strength and focusing on combating terrorism and defending homeland security, the United States put forward a series of views on transforming forces from “threat-based” to “capability-based” In particular, he proposed the strategic thinking of “preemptive strike” in strategic guidance. In a certain sense, the Iraq war is an important step in the strategic practice of “pre-empting” the United States and reflects the essence and trend of the U.S. military strategy.
