The Future of Warfare: Preparing U.S. Military Forces for Competition and Contestation | GSF 2024

Join the CSIS International Security Program for the 2024 Global Security Forum on Wednesday, April 24, 2024. As CSIS's flagship annual security conference, the Forum convenes leaders from the defense and national security communities to discuss the top security challenges facing the country and the world. This year's conference will feature keynote discussions with General Charles Q. Brown, Jr., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Honorable Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence.

The theme of the 2024 Global Security Forum is "Gathering Strength in a Gathering Storm." Speakers will address how the United States can muster its strengths to counter multiple global challenges, posture for uncertainty, and prepare U.S. forces to deter and defeat aggression.

This year's Forum will also feature conversations with senior leaders from the government, military, private sector, and think tank community.

The conference will be held at CSIS headquarters and virtually. Further details on the schedule, participants, and registration will be updated below in the leadup to the Forum in April.

This event is made possible by the generous support of Leonardo DRS.

I take great comfort knowing they apply as much professional seriousness to their craft as they did to that weapons grade combover.

This panel is a universe; 48 stars on one stage! Lots of horsepower with great dialog showcasing needs in the ever-changing war environment (including space). What has changed is the "look at my service" boasting, these great generals/admirals have modeled teamwork servants below them have always expected of our leaders. The last stage of team building is the Esprit stage (rarely seen), that's what I see in this conference. Thank you for showcasing current leadership of our military!

Thank you for this conversation. I appreciate all of you. Be Ready

[valentinvetements]

After seeing three wars in mine, my life is not entirely safe from people who never made war but wrote the history of those who waged war, we hope that the world does not forget your words to the survivors

[steve-real]

Part of it I felt relief and part of it was very scary, if you play it out in your mind.
The one thing that is so apparent is the speed of change just keeps getting faster and faster.

Really interesting talk.

[victoriahigman]

This has been a really good program for me. I’m just a retired teacher but your speakers have addressed many concerns I’ve had looking at our current world. Please lease with UK forces with your shared wisdom

[SVTCobra]

These gentlemen are highly intelligent and well spoken. Our forces are in good hands and are highly capable.
I agree completely with the comment about innovations in acquisition. Technology is moving so fast that equiping the fleet with new tech happens far to slow.

This video is ten times hundreds times better than the armchair general YouTube channels. There's so much information valuable to adversaries that I'm surprised this video is even made public.

[whatohhellnah]

God Bless the United States and all of our Brother Allies!! Glad we have such professionals in leadership in our military. If only we can give them as voters a good administration to work under 🤷🏼‍♂️

[c.hovsepyan]

These guys are the reason I can sleep at night. Thank you for your service 🙏

"If we want to retain our troops, we must be honest and transparent with them. This includes providing the medical and dental care they were promised. Keeping these commitments is essential to maintaining their trust and morale."

Congratulations to CIS for its analysis on U.S. Milatery: Competition and Contestation around the world in order to promote international security!!!

[Stephenlikesribs]

[natmoreno]

My heroZ! I love you and ThankU so Much! What can I do for you?

[REN..X]

Quality over Quantity
Thankyou gentleman! ⭐️
for giving us All the Strategic hive mind that keeps us a step ahead

We design weapons and strategies for taking out countries in a matter of months or weeks

so when an enemy uses the lure approach with cheap bait to catch big fish
we are the shark that you don't want on the end of your line 🙂

stay Awesome ⭐️

This is like watching a corporate board discuss and deliberate on business policies and operations.
Here, they're discussing the business of War, cleverly termed "Competition and Contestation, "as if it's a normal human activity.

[AlphaKingofGlory]

We would like to thank our Leaders and we hope that they would be proud of what they have accomplished

[markb]

The real problem isn't US military readiness. It's political will. If there was a major war between the US and anyone else; it would be drastically different from what we're seeing in Ukraine.
