The '''“Wolfowitz Doctrine”''' is an unofficial name given to the initial version of the Defense Planning Guidance for the 1994–1999 fiscal years (dated February 18, 1992). As the first post-[[Cold War]] DPG, it asserted that the [[United States]] had become the world’s sole remaining [[superpower]] following the dissolution of the [[Soviet Union]] at the end of the Cold War, and declared that its principal objective was to preserve that status. | The '''“Wolfowitz Doctrine”''' is an unofficial name given to the initial version of the Defense Planning Guidance for the 1994–1999 fiscal years (dated February 18, 1992).
