New POTUS. New incoming SECDEF. New officials working for the Defense Dept within the halls of Congress and White House. If you had an opportunity to tell the incoming President and SECDEF what their biggest priorities should be, what would you say?

Continue to research and develop future weapons, doctrine, and weapons platforms. Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) gives an advantage to a military. Some examples of RMAs in WWII are Blitzgrieg, Air Craft Carriers, Atomic Bomb, P-51s, and Amphibious landings.
Long range hypersonic missiles scare me. If they can travel at Mach 5, the velocity will be one mile per second. The window to destroy missile will shrink.

MAJ Ken Landgren - Sir, I think many presume small unit operations will be fighting 3rd world military.

Future wars can be unpredictable. Who would have thought the US would fight Iraq’s large conventional army twice? If we end up fighting China or Russia will the marines sit in the ships because that is not the war they were expecting? Just some thoughts to ponder. CPT (Join to see)

MAJ Ken Landgren - Sort of like they did as a decoy for Desert Storm for a sea assault that never happened.

Trust. Biden is viewed in the light shed by his time as VP. Lots of people look at him poorly because of things that happened during those 8 years where they felt the Military and National Defense as a whole were not a priority. He will need to earn that trust back.

Deterring ascendant Russia and China in all domains including cyber and space. We are playing catch up.
