Summary: Military transformation can be understood as comprising. three overlapping and sometimes competing "layers"--The. conventional-force dominated revolution in military. affairs, a more recent irregular warfare emphasis, and a. wider dimension including homeland defense, space and. nuclear policy. The Western world is currently focusing. its attention on transformation's middle layer, while. China and Russia are focusing on the RMA and. transformation's wider aspects. This dynamic indicates. the United States and its allies should continue to. prepare for the full range of conflicts.
