  Strategic Framework
  This chapter describes the State’s national security strategy and how the
  State designs campaigns and operations to achieve strategic goals out-
  lined in that strategy. This provides the general framework within which the
  OPFOR plans and executes military actions at the operational level, which
  are the focus of the remainder of this manual. The nature of the State and its
  national security strategy are explained in greater detail in FM 7-100.
  NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY
  1-1. The national security strategy is the State’s vision for itself as a nation
  and the underlying rationale for building and employing its instruments of
  national power. It outlines how the State plans to use its diplomatic-political,
  informational, economic, and military instruments of power to achieve its
  strategic goals. Despite the term security, this strategy defines not just what
  the State wants to protect or defend, but what it wants to achieve.
