Description

The Dean's Forum has partnered with the Strategic Studies program to host the Commission on the National Defense Strategy's presentation of its newly released, congressionally-mandated report.

Established by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, the NDS Commission, co-chaired by Eric Edelman and Gary Roughead, is a panel of bipartisan national security experts appointed by Congress to review and evaluate the NDS, which Secretary of Defense James Mattis announced in January 2018 at Johns Hopkins SAIS.

The Commission's final report offers recommendations for ensuring the U.S. maintains the strong defense the American people deserve and expect, taking into account current and prospective circumstances as well as the broader geopolitical environment. Following opening remarks from Mara Karlin, Eliot Cohen will moderate a discussion with the Commission's co-chairs on the report's observations and recommendations.
