A hard look at the defense capabilities of allies and partners | LIVE STREAM

US administrations regularly criticize allies as falling short of what they should be contributing militarily. Simultaneously, US security strategy is tied to America’s global network of allies and strategic partners. The global security environment has grown more complex, but the US military’s size has remained largely the same. Understanding what America’s allies and partners can bring (or not bring) to the table militarily is more important than ever.

Join AEI to discuss these implications and mark the publication of the second edition of “A Hard Look at Hard Power: Assessing the Defense Capabilities of Key US Allies and Security Partners” (US Army War College Press, 2020), edited by AEI’s Gary J. Schmitt.
