The Pentagon will deal with budget challenges in 2013, but those aren’t the only issues DoD planners will face.
Rudy deLeon, senior vice president for National Security & International Policy at the Center for American Progress and a former deputy secretary of defense, says the U.S. relationship with China will be a high-profile challenge for the Defense Department in 2013.
Rudy deLeon’s Top 3 for 2013 |
- Elections and Party Congress have paved the way for new and continued dialogue between the United States and China. There are risks and rewards in the national security area.
- The budget debate and the Pentagon. Everyone knows that cuts are coming. In 1993, the Department knew the level of cuts early and could plan accordingly. The current situation is a back and forth with a Congress that seems unable to make permanent decisions. What are the implications?
- The Middle East. The peace process, Egypt, Iran and Syria. The pathway forward will be very challenging.
