| Pentagon drops new National Defense Strategy that places defending homeland as top priority |
| 2026-01-24 |
| As it should? [JTN] The priority is a change from President Donald Trump's first administration, which labeled China as a serious challenger in an era of “great power competition," and the focus on China was supported by the Biden administration in 2022. The National Defense Strategy document is considered a foundational document for the Pentagon and explains how the Defense Department will follow the guidance of the National Security Strategy, according to Breaking Defense. The new document still prioritizes deterring China in the Indo-Pacific region, but through strength instead of confrontation, and it comes after defending the homeland. The report also said the U.S. will increase burden-sharing with U.S. Allies and Supercharge the U.S. Defense Industrial Base. |
