Defense Writers Group

Mr. Massa: Good morning, everyone. Thanks very much for joining us here at the Atlantic Council’s new global headquarters. If this is your first time here, we’ve been in this new building since October, so we hope you enjoy the new space as much as we are.
My name is Mark Massa, I’m the Deputy Director of the Forward Defense program here at the Atlantic Council Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security. At the Scowcroft Center we cite sustainable non-partisan strategies, we address them as forward security challenges facing the United States, its allies and partners. And within the Scowcroft Center the Forward Defense program generates ideas that affect stakeholders and the defense ecosystem for [integrating] military management of the United States and its allies and partners.
It's been the Forward Defense team at the Atlantic Council that’s had the pleasure for the past 18 months to host this commission on Software-Defined Warfare, and on the eve of its release, tomorrow, we’re pleased to have all of you here for this Defense Writers Group to talk a little bit about the report’s key findings and recommendations and it’s really important, the public release culmination of a lot of work tomorrow.
