At the Reagan National Defense Forum earlier this month, my ears filled with upbeat, bipartisan confidence about the outlook for US national defense. https://t.co/bQGfj1IlOF

Check out my latest AvWeek column, which takes up what @ericschmidt calls the Pentagon's "innovation adoption problem". Channeling the wisdom of @RichardRumelt, I make an argument for why the DoD needs to resist the impulses of its market power. https://t.co/cE0q0LHelx

@EvansRyan202 Check among Richard Immerman's many volumes and articles. He's all over this particular segment of Cold War history (Solarium, etc.)

Inflation fever is distracting attention from the hard choices implemented in the 2023 US defense budget. My current column in @AviationWeek explains why the right debate about the next defense budget should be about its underlying strategy, not the CPI. https://t.co/ZApnhRdgZa

This week's Aviation Week is running my commentary, "U.S. Defense Industrial Base is More Fit than Frail", in which I explain my glass-half-full response to the drumbeat of worry over the health of this industrial ecosystem. https://t.co/jWL7RLcztD and https://t.co/Z7t3iT8wLF

I commend attention to the Reagan National Defense Survey, published Tuesday. This well-structured, bi-partisan work reveals sharply changing attitudes about threats, military capabilities, and the institutions of national defense. You'll want to read it. https://t.co/tpAiRpAXsI

In 2065, Capt. Galatin's loss of focus cost lives. Is he broken? Why can't the base psychiatrist understand his feelings? What's AI got to do with it? Find out by watching "Source Code", a short film about man and machine in the future of war. https://t.co/e2dN7hFpfz #Military

While, unto itself, the end of America’s Afghanistan war holds no great significance for industry, I regard it among Rumelt’s “myriad shifts and adjustments that occur each year . . . [signaling]the presence of a substantial wave of change.” Here’s why: https://t.co/GEeBoEkB1j

Register now for the fall-'21 course in National Security Management at Syracuse University, which I produce. It's executive education, delivered virtual and on-campus, that builds leaders' confidence addressing national security challenges of the 2020s. https://t.co/pa4mXsVjmj

Invoking quarter-inch drills, railroads, and Amazon's HQ2, my latest Aviation Week column--"New Strategic Imperatives for the Defense Industry"--challenges us to learn "Levitt's lesson" and ask, what business are you _really_ in? https://t.co/STrnuy4SpR or https://t.co/yBwfZMA0ns

Here's what I think leaders should do once the pandemic has past. Virtual works for commodity conversation but it takes a "terrain walk" to know the crucible of value creation. #leadership #management https://t.co/AefhFnbkpO

"If Americans’ appreciation of our warriors is fulsome but lacking in real affinity, we suffer a certain civic deficit," observes David Petraeus in _Veterans Day 2020_, an Atlantic Council film of warriors' stories in their own words. See it, 11/11 @ 430p. https://t.co/w9PadgudHZ

[Steven Grundman @stevegrundman]

Here's my take on the the next administration's national security challenge. We are not going to "efficiency" our way out of the Pentagon's budget crunch; it's going to require rethinking the major muscle movements of strategy, operations, and budgets. https://t.co/oUeEYcmmoG

[Steven Grundman @stevegrundman]

In today's @aviationweek, I explain why I hope the summer's hand-wringing over defense spending will build calluses against the hard work of increasing defense-dollar productivity instead of polishing old chestnuts about how Democrats are soft on defense. https://t.co/ACsXIVQP9q
