On October 10, Elliot Ackerman, non-resident senior fellow at Forward Defense, appeared in “Episode 166” of Scuttlebutt, a podcast supported by the Marine Corps Association. Ackerman speaks about his time in the Marine Corps, his work as an author, the intersection between reading and wargaming, and the “value of a military imagination.”

Forward Defense, housed within the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, generates ideas and connects stakeholders in the defense ecosystem to promote an enduring military advantage for the United States, its allies, and partners. Our work identifies the defense strategies, capabilities, and resources the United States needs to deter and, if necessary, prevail in future conflict.
