Description

Today, America faces threats not seen since the height of the Cold War; but unlike back then, they come from an array of enemies and are more lethal thanks to emerging technologies. The war in Ukraine serves as a brutal example, but the threat posed by China takes this to a whole new level. What changes are needed to ensure our military can prevail when combat is required to protect our country’s core interests? How can those changes be affected when so many internal challenges stand in the way?

General David H. Berger, the 38th Commandant of the Marine Corps, has led the most significant series of changes within the service since the end of World War II. What lessons can be taken from the Corps’ successful Force Design 2030 effort that can serve as a guide to affecting change across our national security enterprise?

Join Heritage for an extraordinary conversation with the Commandant, as he concludes his four-year tour at the helm of the Corps, about leading and implementing change in a time of turbulence.
