107 STAT. 1738 PUBLIC LAW 103-160—NOV. 30, 1993 10 USC 111 note. Subtitle E—Commission on Roles and Missions of the Armed Forces SEC. 951. FINDINGa Congress makes the following findings: (1) The current allocation of roles and missions among the Armed Forces evolved from the practice during World War II to meet the Cold War threat ana may no longer be appropriate for the post-Cold War era. (2) Many analysts believe that a realignment of those roles and mission is essential for the efficiency and effectiveness of the Armed Forces, particularly in li^t of lower budgetary resoiut^s that will be available to the Department of Defense in the future. (3) The existing process of a triennial review of roles and missions by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff pursuant to provisions of law enacted by the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reor|^anization Act of 1986 has not produced the comprehensive review envisioned by Congress.
