Author Description

The Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States, established and chartered by the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, concludes that America's defense strategy and its strategic posture must change in order to properly defend its vital interests and improve strategic stability with China and Russia. Decisions should be taken now in order for the nation to be prepared to address the increasing threats from these two nuclear-armed adversaries that will arise during the 2027-2035 timeframe. Moreover, these threats are such that the United States and its Allies and partners must be ready to deter and defeat both adversaries simultaneously.
