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 10 or 20 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.

Squaring the circle: General Raymond T. Odierno on American military strategy in a time of declining resources
Monday, July 29 2013, 10:30 AM -11:30 AM
With sequestration a reality and little hope for a bargain on the horizon, the US military is facing a steeper-than-planned defense drawdown that few wanted but fewer still seem to be willing or able to stop. What are the implications for the men and women of the US Army if the sequester stays on the books for the foreseeable future?

AEI’s Marilyn Ware Center for Security Studies will host General Raymond Odierno, chief of staff of the US Army, for the second installment of a series of four events with each member of the Joint Chiefs.
