Defense Writers Group

14 May 2024

Moderator:  Welcome to what I think is a very important Defense Writers Group -- Nuclear Weapons, Nuclear Strategy and National Defense.  There are so many important issues out there, but I think we’d all agree that there are none more important in this very dynamic period than trying to get this right, and I can’t imagine three better speakers to guide us through these topics and answer our questions today.  Each has had a long and distinguished career, holding a variety of prestigious positions in the national security world, but they’re here today in particular because of what they’re doing now.

Ambassador Eric Edelman serves as the Vice Chair of the Commission on the National Defense Strategy, expected to release its report to Congress later this year.

General C. Robert Kehler, retired.  Served as Commander, US Strategic Command, clearly one of the crown jewels of our nation’s security.

And Franklin C. Miller served on the Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States.

Gentlemen, thank you for being here today...
