Marine Gen. Peter Pace, the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on Saturday, the day after taking his new position, penned the 16th Chairman’s Guidance to the Joint Staff paper titled “Shaping the Future.” In the 11-page document, Pace emphasizes that “resourcefulness and organizational agility” are tools that will enable the US military “to prevail” in the war on terror.
