Today’s Senior Military Leaders and their forces are living within the organizational structure of the 1947 National Security Act; a paradigm for strategic military action rooted in the WWII experience. Reshaping the bloated warfare state to defend America First demands the elimination of wasteful and redundant single-service overhead and support structures. This is not a new problem. During the 1944-45 advance from Normandy to the Rhine, General Montgomery’s headquarters controlled only two armies, which in turn had only two and three corps respectively, and the corps operated only two to three divisions—sometimes, even, only one. The ratio of headquarters was no more economic in the U.S. Army. B.H. Liddell Hart noted that the abundance of headquarters was one reason why the allied advance across the continent to Berlin was so protracted, despite plenty of transport and understrength German ground forces without air cover.
