40 Years since CENTCOM establishment: Objectives for the Mideast– Jerusalem Studio 761

When US General Michael Erik Kurilla presented the annual posture statement for his combatant command to Congressional committees recently, he chose to open it by looking back to its history.

It has been 40 years since Central Command (CENTCOM) was carved out of the long-established European and Pacific Commands. As Kurilla mentioned, the original threats in the 1980s were by the Soviet Union and Iran. Later, in two wars, Saddam Hussein was the arch-villain, with Osama bin Laden drawing the United States into a long involvement in Afghanistan.

With the addition of Israel as a valuable partner, as Iran and Russia once again pose main concerns, what seems to lie ahead for CENTCOM?
