A conversation with the Joint Chiefs of Staff

The United States military is entering a period of widespread and discontinuous change. With forces transitioning out of lead combat roles in the Middle East and rebalancing to the Pacific, along with large-scale budget reductions, the military of the next ten or twenty years may look very different than the force that has been at war for over a decade.

Join the American Enterprise Institute in a series of conversations with the Joint Chiefs of Staff as they discuss these and other critical issues of national security.

Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, for a timely discussion on the future of the Corps.
