On March 17, Forward Defense and Rafik Hariri Center & Middle East Programs Nonresident Senior Fellow Thomas S. Warrick and former DHS official Javed Ali published an article in the Cipher Brief titled “Grants to fight terrorism are only the beginning.” In the article, Warrick and Ali argue for comprehensive funding and a nation-wide approach to tackle domestic violent extremism.
Now—in early 2021—is the time to start address domestic terrorism with the urgency and seriousness that this threat to American democracy deserves.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
