On January 26, Scowcroft Center nonresident senior fellow Ronald Marks was featured on Government Matters, explaining the Department of Defense’s budget process. Marks outlines that the defense budget process is lengthy due to the extraordinary amount of money involved.
[Congress] needs to take a careful look at the whole process from the planning stage, through the programming and budgeting, execution, but they really need to take a look at who is layered into this thing.
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.
