Bend but Do Not Break: Shaping the Future of the All-Volunteer Force

Editat de Jaron S. Wharton, Keith L. Carter, Katherine L. Kuzminski, Max Z. Margulies, Jason K. Dempsey, Carrie A. Lee
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 apr 2026
The American military's All-Volunteer Force (AVF) recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. At the time of the post-Vietnam War move to end American military conscription, it was unclear whether a force comprised solely of volunteers could effectively meet the nation's security needs. Yet over the past twenty years, the AVF has grown larger, more generously resourced, and more capable than it had ever previously been absent an active major conflict. In Bend but Do Not Break, a broad range of experts assess the long-term viability of the AVF. To do this, they address a host of challenges facing the AVF and, by extension, the politicized environment in which it operates. An informed and balanced look at the AVF, this book considers the future of the force and asks the wider question of whether it continues to serve the needs of national security or individuals in the military.
