This edited volume examines the often-overlooked but powerful role of U.S. regional combatant‑command commanders (CINCs) in shaping and conducting American foreign policy. The book argues that these military leaders — wielding substantial military, economic, and diplomatic resources — act as “viceroys,” functioning not only as warfighters but also as de facto diplomats and intermediaries between Washington and foreign nations. Through detailed case studies across different U.S. commands, the contributors explore how military command structure, strategic geography, and individual commanders influence U.S. global engagement and foreign policy outcomes
