In The MOC, June 24, 2024: Congressional Commissions on Afghan War and Future of Navy Lack Recipe for Success

Center for a New American Security’s Discussion
On Tuesday, June 18, members of CMS attended the Center for a New American Security’s discussion on U.S. capabilities for protracted conflict. The conversation was hosted by Katherine Kuzminski and Andrew Metrick and broadly discussed the increasing risk of conflict protraction and the requirements for the U.S. to deter and, if necessary, to defeat an adversary in a protracted conflict. We thank Katherine Kuzminski for inviting CMS to the event. You may watch the event here.
