On March 29, 2023, Forward Defense senior fellow Robert Soofer was quoted in Newsweek about the US nuclear arsenal. Soofer said, “The U.S. government will do whatever it takes to keep [the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile] in a ready state or reliable state until Sentinel comes online. There are things that we can do in extremis to keep the systems in service longer.”

Forward Defense develops and shapes policy solutions that build US military power to deter war and secure the future.
