The Pentagon is the wrong agency to lead the new US deterrence strategy

Meisel, C. (2023, July 19). The Pentagon is the wrong agency to lead the new US deterrence strategy. Defense One. https://www.defenseone.com/ideas/2023/07/pentagon-wrong-agency-lead-new-us-deterrence-strategy/388676/

In this commentary in Defense One, Meisel argues that deemphasizing the Defense Department’s role in the U.S. integrated deterrence strategy will increase the chances of the strategy's success by substantially increasing the credibility of U.S. threats.
