摘要：In January 2012, the President introduced strategic guidance to focus on the Indo-Asia-Pacific theater. Also in January 2012, the Chief of Staff of the Army visited U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC). During sev- eral working sessions with both USARPAC and U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM), initial agreements on meeting the demand signal for Army forces and ca- pabilities in support of USPACOM laid out the design for the effort to rebalance the U.S. Army to the Indo- Asia-Pacific theater to achieve our nation's strategy. The essential components of this rebalance for the U.S. Army in the Pacific are: setting the theater for deterrence; maintaining contingency forces; ex- panding Army air and missile defense capabili- ties to defend against an expanding threat; and reshaping our headquar- ters and staff.
