As of late-August 2014 much
speculation is focusing on whether the United States defence budget will be
re-orientated to take account of the threat from the Islamic State of Iraq and
Syria (ISIS). ISIS is posing a major security risk to US allies in the Middle
East, following its occupation of a considerable quantity of the northern
regions of Iraq and Syria during the first six months of 2014. In mid-2014, the
US commenced airstrikes against ISIS ground forces in northern Iraq. The
airstrikes are thought to have been carried out in support of attempts by
Kurdish Peshmerga guerrillas on the ground to roll back the occupation of Iraqi
territory by ISIS.
The dramatic rise of ISIS,
coupled with the ongoing crisis involving Russia and Ukraine and the serious security
situation in Afghanistan, has bred speculation that US Congress will reverse
anticipated defence spending cuts for 2015. The planned cuts are causing US
defence manufacturers to redouble their efforts to secure defence exports, to
make up for the shortfall regarding domestic orders. These efforts were
particularly evident during the 2014 Farnborough Air Show in the United Kingdom
which witnessed over 230 US exhibitors and a large number of high-level
attendees who visited the event.
