Keeping the people of this country  roles from Page 1 provide any real leadership in the  say top Pentagon officials seek ing Only to protect the existing military Structure have discouraged any further discussion on How to reshape the armed forces. The roles and missions commission itself has hinted that it is unlikely to recommend sweeping changes. John p. White the chairman said the panel will hew mainly to ideas that seem implementable and avoid any dramatic.  the Issue is important because duplication in the military has reached such proportions that some analysts say it is impeding effectiveness and siphoning off badly needed defense dollars that could be better used for modernization and preparedness. Senate armed services  chairman Sam Nunn d-ga., the major Force behind the current Effort has suggested the military might be Able to save billions of dollars by sorting put such functions More carefully and eliminating some of the duplication. Nunn also has pinpointed a spate of redundant institutions including separate medical Legal and chaplains corps for each service that he says might be run More efficiently if they were combined. Some analysts argue that not All duplications Are wastes. The marines Way of conducting ground combat operations for example is far different from the army s. Its pilots Are trained specially to provide air cover that fits that Mold. And in some cases merging two or mor seemingly duplicate entities might not save much Money at All. The military still would need the same number of physicians lawyers and  As it has now for example even if the were combined under a single service. The Pentagon has begun some modest efforts. The joint chiefs of staff recommended last year that the services com Bine All Basic flight training under one roof. And the four May consolidate at least some of their Supply depots. But Nunn and other critics argue that the Reform should go far beyond such peripheral issues to broader questions such As which service should be charged with projecting . Air Power which should fight the major land wars an which should provide close air support. The fundamental question is not what is Best for the Navy or the air Force Nunn said. The question is what is Best for America to Robert Gaskari a former Pentagon strategist now with business executives for National Security a defense Monitor ing group that Means dividing the Battle Field into segments from outer space to the rear areas behind the Battlefield and looking at what each service brings to the  by those standards at least Mcpeak proposals go furthest. The former air Force chief of staff wants the Pentagon to give his service rather than the Navy the primary Jobin projecting . Military Power to potential global trouble spots arguing that it would be faster and cheaper than maintaining 12 aircraft carriers world wide. Under his proposal the air Force would also control All strategic bombing and missile strikes and it would take Over Complete responsibility for defense against air and missile attacks. Providing close air support for ground troops would be left to the army and  other services Are battling to protect their turf. The marines resisting my Peak s proposal to bar them from any thing beyond providing close air support for troops wan to maintain their tactical air wings. Navy officials argue that the unite states might not always be Able to win permission to use other countries air Fields for bombing missions As the for Mer air Force chiefs plan would require. They also counter that launching ship based Tomahawk missiles for deep strike operations is often faster arid More effective than sending squadrons of bombers. A few weeks ago in a rare move the chiefs of the army Navy and Marine corps angrily signed a joint memo opposing a related Mcpeak move to have the air Force assume control of All military operations in space. Mcpeak s proposal is not the Only roles and missions Battleground. The army and Marine corps for example Are fighting Over which should get More of the ground action in Post cold War military operations. The army wants recognition As the Pri Mary service for fighting sustained land wars leaving the marines to play a limited role in More modest Short term operations such As peacekeeping duty in Haiti. It also is moving deeper into the area of amphibious operations. The marines seeking to Widen their own role want More army tanks and v 22 Osprey troop carrying aircraft. The  is not expected to be tidy. The services have begun campaigning not Only among members of the roles and missions commission but also among their longtime supporters in con Gress. To its credit the 11-member roles and missions commission has taken a step to Ward some Reform. The panel s ambitious 26-Issue Agenda includes such topics As improving joint War fighting streamlining the current command Struc Ture and sorting out military air operations. It plans to Issue final recommendations within six months. But the commission has Only a Small staff and Many of its members Are re tired military officers Long identified with preserving the status quo. The panel it self has been meeting Only once a month and not everyone shows up. Sceptics question whether it is up to the Job
