Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s continued threats against Taiwan highlight the challenges the US military faces from increasingly capable and nuclear-armed opponents.

The Pentagon needs to regain its military-technical advantage against potential aggressors through more effective and realistic strategies and faster modernization, and by harnessing the fruits of commercial technological innovation.
