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, 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.
