The outbreak of war in Europe significantly shifted U.S. foreign and defense policy from isolationism to active engagement. Initially, the U.S. provided support to Allied nations through programs like Lend-Lease, which marked a commitment to counter Axis powers. As the war progressed, the U.S. began to mobilize its military and ultimately entered the conflict after the attack on Pearl Harbor, leading to a more assertive role in global affairs and the establishment of a defense strategy focused on deterring future threats. This pivot laid the groundwork for the U.S. to emerge as a global superpower post-war.

STRATCOM also plays a key part in planning and executing military responses to potential threats, thereby maintaining national security and stability.
