Goldwater-Nichols Act  

Definición

  • Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 1986 that is considered a milestone in the reform of the armed forces. Intended to improve some of the failures made evident by the Vietnam War and general shortcomings in communication, interservice rivalry, and unclear hierarchy, the Goldwater-Nichols Act aimed to transform the individual services (the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines) into joint institutions within the U.S. Department of Defense.
