Flexible Response.
President John F. Kennedy's flexible response defense policy aimed to provide the United States with a range of military options to address various levels of conflict, rather than relying solely on nuclear deterrence. This strategy sought to enhance the U.S. ability to respond to conventional threats, insurgencies, and nuclear crises with appropriate military force. It emphasized the importance of being able to engage in limited warfare and counterinsurgency efforts, thereby promoting a more adaptable and nuanced approach to Cold War challenges. Ultimately, flexible response was intended to deter aggression while minimizing the risk of escalating conflicts into nuclear confrontations.
President Kennedy favored a defense policy known as "flexible response." This strategy aimed to provide the United States with a range of options to respond to various threats, rather than relying solely on nuclear deterrence. Flexible response included conventional military forces, counterinsurgency capabilities, and support for allied nations, allowing for a more graduated approach to conflict. This policy was particularly relevant during the Cold War, as it sought to address the complexities of global tensions without immediately escalating to nuclear war.
