On April 14, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Kathleen J. McInnis was featured in memos by Foreign Policy and POLITICO, which highlight her recent transition from international security specialist at the Congressional Research Service, to senior fellow and director of the Smart Women, Smart Power Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

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.
