This book is not about war, nor is it a history of war. Avoiding the shock and awe of wartime images, it explores the contemporary spatial configurations of power camouflaged in the infrastructures, environments, and scales of military operations. Instead of wartime highs, this book starts with drawdown lows, when demobilization and decommissioning morph into realignment and prepositioning. It is in this transitional milieu that the full material magnitudes and geographic entanglements of contemporary militarism are laid bare. Through this perpetual cycle of build up and breakdown, the U.S. Department of Defense--the single largest developer, landowner, equipment contractor, and energy consumer in the world--has engineered a planetary assemblage of "operational environmentsż in which militarized, demilitarized, and non-militarized landscapes are increasingly inextricable.
