Join Bryan Clark, director of Hudson’s Center for Defense Concepts and Technology, Fellow Timothy A. Walton, and U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) Commander General Stephen Lyons to discuss the challenges facing USTRANSCOM, changes under his tenure, and key investment priorities.

The ability to project and sustain forces over global distances is a U.S. strategic comparative advantage. However, adversaries are seeking to undermine this advantage, and aging U.S. mobility forces are increasingly challenging and expensive to maintain and operate. USTRANSCOM has led efforts to develop a resilient logistics enterprise that can support operations across competition and conflict. Please join Hudson for a discussion of this important issue.
