A conversation with Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General John E. Hyten

Brookings will host General John E. Hyten, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for a sweeping conversation with Senior Fellow Michael O’Hanlon on the state of American defense, military modernization, the state of the all-volunteer force, the implementation of the National Defense Strategy, and what new approaches the Pentagon under Secretary Lloyd Austin will take in tackling these issues. They will also reflect on General Hyten’s long, distinguished career as he approaches retirement later this year. Subscribe! Follow Brookings on social media! Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: LinkedIn:
