Background

In the lexicon of political and military of the United States in the postwar period, a large number of new titles, reflecting, and characterized the installation of one or another of the ruling circles of American imperialism in the field of foreign and military policy of "containment strategy", "the doctrine of massive retaliation," the "strategy of retaliation , "" strategy of limited war, "" counterforce strategy "," the doctrine of flexible response, "etc. The appearance of each of these new names are usually touted as the emergence of a new U.S. military doctrine.

Modification of a component does not necessarily mean the disappearance or cancel the whole doctrine as a whole, because it is based not on the short stretches of time, and the long historical period, due to the presence of certain types of weapons and the historical balance of power in the world. These or other changes in the field of arms or changes in global equilibrium of opposing forces cause a restructuring or modification of certain components of the military doctrine, thereby causing its evolution.
