This report's authors examine the contributions of overseas campaigning instruments to U. S. strategic goals. The authors conducted statistical analyses of the relationships between these tools and deterrence, access and cooperation, and partner stability and developed rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimates for these instruments to provide the foundations of a decision-support tool to inform U. S. Department of Defense campaign planning.
