Ground Forces Dialogue

The Ground Forces Dialogue is a multimedia project intended to foster and facilitate a broad conversation about U.S. ground forces in the future, in their many dimensions. Supported by DuPont

About the Dialogue

The Harold Brown Chair’s Ground Forces Dialogue is intended to foster and facilitate a broad conversation about U.S. ground forces in the future, in their many dimensions.  It will not seek to provide specific answers to questions about ground force roles, missions, capabilities, or capacity, but instead to create a forum for debate and discussion to help achieve a greater understanding across the policy, military, business, and academic communities of challenges and opportunities. 

To the left you will find some focus areas for our dialogue. They are suggestive rather than determinative, and intended to illustrate the breadth of the conversation that we wish to stimulate.  Topics may change over time as the Dialogue evolves.  Please join us in helping to broaden and deepen our collective understanding of these complex and important issues going forward.
