On May 31, Forward Defense Nonresident Senior Fellow Scott Cooper published an article in War on the Rocks titled “The risks of Memorial Day not being personal.” In this article, Cooper explored the growing distance between the American people and military service experience.

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.
