Cultivating a national security workforce that actually looks like and represents the American people is a moral and national security imperative. @CamilleEsq and Michele Flournoy's important new piece. https://t.co/sVq0g92sub

"To stay on top, the next secretary of defense must advance a much bolder vision for sharpening the U.S. military-technology edge," argue @micheleflournoy and @GChefitz. More:

"Although neither Washington nor Beijing wants a war, there is a real risk that miscalculation could cause a crisis to spiral into a conflict." - @micheleflournoy and @GChefitz warn in @NBCNewsTHINK: https://t.co/lEgO5b60RA

[CNAS @CNASdc]

"Few U.S. national security challenges," @micheleflournoy and @GChefitz write in @NBCNewsTHINK, "are of greater consequence and urgency than preventing conflict with China and promoting a peaceful Asia-Pacific region." Read more: https://t.co/lEgO5b60RA

What we're reading this week from https://t.co/B9XgvRx7aQ:

1. Reports of a Silicon Valley / Military Divide Have Been Greatly Exaggerated by @_jack_poulson

2. Sharpening the U.S. Military's Edge by @micheleflournoy & @GChefitz at @CNASdc

3. Tech Clusters by @nberpubs

[Gabrielle Chefitz @GChefitz]

Current efforts are too slow and small scale. The next administration must put forward clear priorities and a plan of action that creates a roadmap for industry/the services, aligns strategy and resource allocation, and coordinates efforts across DoD. 5/5 @NBCNewsTHINK @CNASdc

[Gabrielle Chefitz @GChefitz]

Next SecDef must make "big bets" and stake a bold vision for high-tech investment and innovation to bolster U.S. deterrence and prevent war with China. Michele Flournoy and I for @NBCNewsTHINK based on our @CNASdc next defense strategy paper. 1/5

[Gabrielle Chefitz @GChefitz]

SecDef should then build a diverse, empowered senior team, and establish the processes, plan of action, and investment strategy to drive this agenda forward and pursue these priorities urgently. 4/5

[Sarah Cammarata @sarahjcamm]

China's military capabilities are gaining on the U.S. The Pentagon needs to take bold steps.

[Gabrielle Chefitz @GChefitz]

SecDef must lay out priorities for tech innovation and investment, including next-gen C2, AI for human-machine teaming, and autonomy for combat and logistics. DoD should put substantial funding behind each and tee up a series of competitions for companies to secure funding. 3/5

[Gabrielle Chefitz @GChefitz]

Pentagon analysis shows that the current force may be insufficient to deter or defeat Chinese aggression. We must reverse this trend. Developing capabilities to prevent conflict with China and promote a peaceful Asia-Pacific region must be top defense investment priority. 2/5

[CNAS @CNASdc]

According to @micheleflournoy and @GChefitz, the Pentagon "must reimagine how it fights and make the technological and operational investments necessary to secure its military-technological edge for the coming decades." Read more: https://t.co/tXeyKj8q5r
