The Defending Defense Coalition brings together the American Enterprise Institute, the Foreign Policy Initiative and the Heritage Foundation to promote a sound understanding of the U.S. defense budget and the resource requirements necessary to sustain America's preeminent military position in a dangerous world. At this event, we will discuss the Obama administration's FY 2013 defense budget and the broader context behind its new strategic guidance. As the Pentagon looks to cut $487 billion over the next decade, what capabilities and missions will America sacrifice? Does the budget reflect a strategy grounded in a true "pivot" to Asia? Is there an underlying strategic logic to the cuts? Please join us to discuss these issues.
