Defense Department Outlines Networked, Multi-domain Joint Attack Concept

Speaking at the Reagan Institute on Monday, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks gave a compelling, non-partisan speech on America’s national defense. Notably, she drew parallels and common interests between President Biden’s foreign policy thinking and President Ronald Reagan’s support for democratic freedoms.

Hicks seemed to capture the U.S. military’s long-standing mission ethic of backing the commander in chief, regardless of party.

She told the audience that “just walking through the halls here today really reinforces” the focus that Reagan had on supporting democracy. Hicks added that “President Biden shares those core convictions about the importance of protecting our democracy, which today faces a myriad of challenges.”
