How did technology shape Eisenhower's military policy?
Eisenhower's military policy was shaped by nuclear technology. Due to the concept of M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction), nuclear weapons became the focus of national defense. So the US shifted from a large standing army to a smaller one with emphasis on intelligence gathering, espionage, and large stockpile of nuclear weapons.
