On September 25, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Elliot Ackerman was featured on The Washington Post with his new opinion piece on the importance of memorializing the Global War on Terror. He points to the importance of remembering the forgotten war and the positive effects of this war memorial on veterans and civilian society alike.
But this idea, of not imagining the experiences of veterans, only forces those veterans further apart from the society they served.
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.
