美国陆军器材发展准备司令部(DARCOM)从全球和美国的远景出发,分析了世界和美国的经济、人口统计、社会、技术及政治五大趋势,并提出了自己的对策。经济趋势根据大多数经济学家的观点,未来全球的主要经济趋势是:稀有矿藏缺乏,跨国银行和公司的影响扩大,世界范围石油需求量继续增高,穷国和富国之间的差距拉大。由于美国的稀有矿产大部分依赖于外国进口,这表明美国将继续卷入第三世界。目前美国是原材料和矿产(如:钴、钛、铬、汞)的主要消费国。许多稀有原材料、矿产和能源,都与防务活动休戚相关;而它们的来源受到限
The United States Army Equipment Development Command (DARCOM) has analyzed the five major trends in the world and the US economy, demographics, society, technology, and politics from the perspectives of the world and the United States, and put forward its own countermeasures. Economic trends According to the view of most economists, the major global economic trends in the future are: the scarcity of rare mineral deposits, the expansion of the influence of multinational banks and corporations, the increasing demand for oil worldwide, and the widening gap between poor and rich countries. Since most of the rare minerals in the United States rely on foreign imports, this indicates that the United States will continue to be involved in the Third World. At present, the United States is a major consumer of raw materials and minerals (such as cobalt, titanium, chromium, and mercury). Many rare raw materials, minerals, and energy are all related to defense activities; their sources are limited.
