USAHEC: Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, Multinational Environment: NEAR PEER COMPETITORS

INTRODUCTION

"A peer competitor, as the term is used here, is a state or collection of challengers with the power and motivation to confront the United States on a global scale in a sustained way and to a sufficient level where the ultimate outcome of a conflict is in doubt even if the United States marshals its resources in an effective and timely manner." -- The Emergence of Peer Competitors: A Framework for Analysis, p. 7-8.
