America at 250: A Defining Moment for American Statecraft and Military Power

As the United States nears its 250th anniversary, the Global Security Forum convenes at a pivotal moment for American competition, deterrence, and defense in an increasingly turbulent security environment. Technological disruption, strategic rivalry, and regional flashpoints are converging as advanced conventional forces and expanding nuclear arsenals, cyber campaigns, economic coercion, and information warfare reshape how power is projected and challenged. Together, these trends are driving a reassessment of how the United States sustains its strategic advantage and employs the tools of statecraft and military power in the years ahead.
