On June 5, Forward Defense distinguished fellow General Kevin Chilton, USAF (ret.) published an article in DefenseNews on the need to continue forward with the nuclear triad modernization program, entitled “US security demands continued nuclear triad investment.” In the article, Chilton argues for the necessity of an effective nuclear triad to ensure US leaders are empowered with credible, reliable military options to manage current and looming threats from nuclear-armed adversaries.
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.
