Reseña del libro "Special Operations: Reexamining the Case for a Sixth Service (en Inglés)"
The end of communism changed the global strategic environment marked by a bipolar world and replaced it with uncertainty and a readily defined threat. Over a relatively short period of time, a multipolar world began to emerge while academia and the military continued to debate the identity of the future threat.

Changing the military meant characterizing the types of change and choosing the one most suited for this situation.
