The colapse of the Soviet Union, marked the end of the bi-polar world struggle and the terrorist event of 11 September 2001 signaled a foundational shift in the international security environment for all. As a pretext the US initiated its unlegitimate attack to Afghanistan and Iraq preemptively to circumvent the military strengths of other nations. This new security environment can be a "Transformation" and therefore needs something more than just an update of the military's capabilities based upon a new map and vision of the world security environment to ensure its future competitive advantages and to adapt to the evolving security challenges of the 21st century. The pivotal focus of this mapping is around a 1990s “project” called Globalization. During the past 14 years since the collapse of the Soviets, the US has sent its military to more than 130 cases, the overwhelming majority of these cases lie in regions that are out of sync with globalization. Disconnected countries from the “process” globalization, such as the Caspian Sea region may face with the danger of “Exporting Security” and "Shrinking the Gap" by the US military moves from containment and retaliation to a more proactive and preemptive approach to national security.
