Summary:"This paper introduces the idea of persistent security that originates from dominant landpower--establishing a force that can establish a persistently secure environment is the challenge frequently overlooked in the way the American military trains, thinks and approaches warfighting. The author begins by discussing the logic behind a notion of persistent security and how land forces play a critical role in sustaining it, followed by a discussion on the constant ebb and flow of firepower versus maneuver warfare to see how modern armies have evolved to meet the threats of their day."--Page v.
