This report analyzes the United States’ National Defense Strategy and the geopolitical environment it confronts. The text's authors argue that America is facing a grave defense and security crisis as US military advantages erode and the global geopolitical landscape continues to become more threatening. As a result, if the the United States does not show greater urgency in responding to this crisis, nor take decisive steps to rebuild its military advantages now, the damage to American security and influence could be devastating.
