On August 26, MajGen Arnold Punaro (ret.), a Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow, published an article in RealClear Defense, titled “Restructuring Our Military for a Multi-Front War.” In the article, Punaro argues that existing US military posture, designed to confront a single major adversary, is inadequate for emerging strategic reality. He emphasizes that the evolving global environment requires a military force able to deter and prevail across multiple theaters.
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.
