从“大规模报复”到“灵活反应”

作为艾森豪威尔政府国家基本安全政策核心的大规模报复战略,一问世就在政府内外引起激烈争议。改革派认为,在贯彻大规模报复战略的同时,应该发展对付有限战争的能力,国务卿杜勒斯和国家安全事务特别助理卡特勒是改革的主要倡导者。艾森豪威尔坚持战略的相对稳定性,反对修改。第二届任期内,面对苏联核能力的增长和核武器运载工具的突破,艾森豪威尔政府最终在NSC5906/1文件中实施了战略调整,吸收了灵活反应战略的部分内容。

From"Massive Retaliation" to "Flexible Response"

The Massive Retaliation Strategy, which is the core of the Eisenhowe r administration's basic national security policy, stirred the fury dispute when it was published. Reform group suggested that the ability to limited war devel oped while carrying out the Massive Retaliation Strategy, and Secretary of State Dulles and special assistant of national security affairs Cutler were the major proponents. However, Eisenhower insisted on the relative stability of the strat e gy, and opposed to change it. During his second term, Eisenhower practiced the s trategic adjustment, and absorbed the part of Flexible Response Strategy with th e Soviet nuclear capability strengthening and the nuclear delivery vehicle break ing through.
