U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld talks during a briefing at
the Pentagon, January 29, 2003. Rumsfeld has sought to transform the
U.S. military from a heavy Cold War-era fighting force into one better
able to address the threats of the future, in his view, making the
armed forces "faster, more agile, more balanced, more inter-operable."
