6:55 Start.

I take great comfort knowing they apply as much professional seriousness to their craft as they did to that weapons grade combover.

After seeing three wars in mine, my life is not entirely safe from people who never made war but wrote the history of those who waged war, we hope that the world does not forget your words to the survivors

Thank you for this conversation. I appreciate all of you. Be Ready

Highly valuable content.

Congratulations to CIS for its analysis on U.S. Milatery: Competition and Contestation around the world in order to promote international security!!!

These gentlemen are highly intelligent and well spoken. Our forces are in good hands and are highly capable. I agree completely with the comment about innovations in acquisition. Technology is moving so fast that equiping the fleet with new tech happens far to slow.

Part of it I felt relief and part of it was very scary, if you play it out in your mind. The one thing that is so apparent is the speed of change just keeps getting faster and faster. Really interesting talk.

Great minds working together👍 very much appreciate to be an allied. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰

Thank you for your report.

God Bless the United States and all of our Brother Allies!! Glad we have such professionals in leadership in our military. If only we can give them as voters a good administration to work under 🤷🏼‍♂️

This panel is a universe; 48 stars on one stage! Lots of horsepower with great dialog showcasing needs in the ever-changing war environment (including space). What has changed is the "look at my service" boasting, these great generals/admirals have modeled teamwork servants below them have always expected of our leaders. The last stage of team building is the Esprit stage (rarely seen), that's what I see in this conference. Thank you for showcasing current leadership of our military!

Very informative, thank you!

This video is ten times hundreds times better than the armchair general KZfaq channels. There's so much information valuable to adversaries that I'm surprised this video is even made public.

Thank you🎉❤😊

This has been a really good program for me. I’m just a retired teacher but your speakers have addressed many concerns I’ve had looking at our current world. Please lease with UK forces with your shared wisdom

These guys are the reason I can sleep at night. Thank you for your service 🙏

Quality over Quantity Thankyou gentleman! ⭐️ for giving us All the Strategic hive mind that keeps us a step ahead We design weapons and strategies for taking out countries in a matter of months or weeks so when an enemy uses the lure approach with cheap bait to catch big fish we are the shark that you don't want on the end of your line 🙂 stay Awesome ⭐️

THANKFUL

Salute

Vote!

I sleep better knowing that these Brass are in command. I completely agree with their thinking. Salute to you all ....

Thankful 😊❤

Yes! Sir

God Bless!! Grateful !!

Practical innovation is really underrated

Outstanding content. Thanks for posting

We would like to thank our Leaders and we hope that they would be proud of what they have accomplished

4:51 that’s like military equivalent of photobombing - were you jump into someone’s picture frame 🖼️ 😂

I like all of these guys. Good luck America.

Sir! I have no military background! But you get a good look as they launch ! Ican change the course of any or as many Missiles or mid air I got it

Thankful

thats some panel of heavy hitters you have assembled here

I would agree that we should tap into our own ship building capacity which will creates significant good paying jobs!

Thanks for this. Funny and helpful.

This was a great watch!

Assymmetric conflict with 4 main opponents. Ruskije, chin, ooran, north k town. We must be prepared.

God-bless America 🇺🇸

Yep, going back to my shy, conservative, silent self... thank you so much for this update

God bless

Protect the homeland, don't spread are troops around, most importantly stick to one fight ..

In conclusion were screwed

Good stuff, thank you

Trying to build a navy at home when we have no civilian shipbuilding industry is inevitably going to fail. The Japanese buy our aircraft we should let them sell us ships.

Peace through strength.

Fascinating! Hope you all can make this work well for whatever happens in the future.

Finally real info thank you!!

The "Big" issue facing the US is how bloated and expensive military procurement has become. In a world where China can churn out ships and arms at the rate it can currently, Vs what the USA's system can manage, that weight of numbers could be decisive? At the moment it looks like Ukraine is being used to eat western military supplies that are slow to be replenished. Meanwhile Russia/China and friends are easily out producing. It's a very worrying moment in history.

The Air Force general sounds like he is checked out!

That is what would have worked in the past! But now I'm in control ! My power with you had limits With me it's limitless!! I am one with the elements! My word Carry more power than anything

Thankful..

25:00 the US Coast Guard is in the Persian Gulf? Where is the "US Coast" they are guarding exactly?

The Admiral for the Navy dud say "this big fight that we're preparing for"?

I just learned that! Thanks

This is like watching a corporate board discuss and deliberate on business policies and operations. Here, they're discussing the business of War, cleverly termed "Competition and Contestation,"as if it's a normal human activity.

🇺🇸 MOTHER OF ALL WARS AND INSTIGATOR

I smell a lot of old people in power

Thank You 💕💕😊😊💕⛽⛽⛽⛽💜⛽

Thanks for this presentation. I am Saint Lawrence with my cast. AKA Claribel Ramirez DeArellano.

The only fear I have is domestic! I fear this country. I fear American institutions. There has never been a crisis that our government and our institutions didn't make worse for the citizens! Whatever Russia does will be nothing compared to what our government and institutions do to us. I'm afraid of our domestic institutions and government.

Must be tough for them, fighting goat herders.

Thank You, sirs. Remarks (imho, with all the respect): 1. The more one hides the tactical component, the harder it becomes to reassure neutral sides and civilians in your intentions, which can severely influence one's further operative capabilities. Thus perfectly unexpected attacks may apper as unwanted, as the totally expected one. 2. Indeed, the space race makes economies alive and thriving. However, there's no viable alternative to strategic diplomatic solutions assuring the Solar System's future, since nobody can deny external force risks and natural catastrophic tendencies. 3. To rephrase the old soldier's proverb: wars are something, and maneuvers are everything. 4. Platform and system level integration chains bring to end-users (commanders, in particular), along with the advantages mentioned, both the flexibility challenge, neural overload and rapid burnout dangers. 5. AI is not a panacea. It is a form of life. And for us, it's just the way to advance our potential, and transform the existential philosophy, including its military part. 6. Sure, everyone and everything is observable at some level and to some degree. The one denying this common sense may be instantly doomed. But then, the real struggle comes from the depth of soldiers' hearts and minds. How to camouflage the inner content of souls, and would that be worth the deal? Or should it bring another case of the Pyrrhic gains? Thank you for your attention.

I like we focusing on building smaller ships, these ships can be supported by lzrger ships for bluewater, work on disributed neworks as a an effective larger ship, they are also more immune to long range missile attacks and can even decoy/tank/electronic counter measures. Larger ships are being effectively targeted by mini platforms sea drones and missiles so they looking more and more like juicy targets.

Best killers in the world 🌎 PROUD AMERICAN 🤣 oh well we’re born into this shit

This looks more intimidating than the G7

Thanks for this. Funny and helpful. 41:58. I agree the highest priority is “stable and predictable funding.” 45:00 Adms. Kilby and Poulin and the Crazyman need to discuss this issue. Crazyman likes ships. And likes idea of capabilities of allies in the fight. 1:09:30. From my current perch in Quincy, Massachusetts, it’s obvious that the watching was not only of others - there has been an empirical undercurrent.

Auction Sign On Friday Too Monday!!!

Better start addressing the toxic woke culture and DEI policies if the standards are not going to be lowered.

We can share between agency information, but the decision process sucks. Look at North Korea, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Afghanistan, Russia, Ukraine, Gaza. All predictable. 20 years, the problem has grown, decisions have not been made, and issues become state-sponsored terror.

I wish one of these guys would run for president

Thanks for the time lying out those insights in the open c= they're very reassuring to say the least. Really happy to see people at the top level are pretty cognizant of the changing landscapes on tactical and strategic level, but also on other societal and socio-economic spectrums not commonly seen as being relevant to strategic readiness and even deterrence That bit near the end where one or more of the speakers talked about basically letting go of archaic understanding as well as practices in how services see and judge individuals, and their qualifications, and what matters to possible recruits as well as how to speak to them, was also very refreshing and again shows how people at the top are acutely aware of these matters, and not see them as irrelevant And subjects raised about employment of forces as well as how we see, and should see them in a strategic and tactical context in modern combat environments as well as the necessity to understand, plan and employ them as joint assets or forces in such environments are definitely insightful too and reflective on the professionalism as well as the seriousness of people who are in charge of these things, which personally kinda makes me wish popular media do better, more accurate portrayals of these people and their roles

Did that showboating airforce officer just suggest "just in time shipping" for maintenance logistics? Lmao

Do we have any cheap drones that can be programmed to intercept with a pay load??

Thankful 😊 BLESSINGS TO YOU

When you ask the military industrial complex how we should start peace, their answer is prepare for war

Churchill was an ethically bankrupt man (letting the Germans bomb Coventry without warning the residents springs to mind) and to hear Seth lionizing him is rather disgusting.

The biggest issue is that research, development, and procurement has bloated significantly as a part of the military budget that it is affecting the operational side in terms of budget for training, personnel, unit organization and strength. In addition, retention and recruiting is a issue when you cannot man units at close to full strength and have to shut down some units. We have seen the brigade combat terms lose their engineer and cavalry scouts. We need more brigade combat teams and we need some of them stationed forward especially in Europe permanently. It was a mistake to remove them from Europe. It also has placed great strain on our ABCT with this op temp.

`Nice that they want to get started.

The futility and insanity of war. HAVE WE LEARNED NOTHING? You gotta respect the Ruskies in their own front garden. At least Dr.Trump knows that much. No good being a sore loser, bc of Syria, by opening a front in Russia’s garden. That just says that you want to invade, or threaten to invade Russia. If you’re going to fight Russia, you should at least pick somewhere that’s more favourable for yourself. Saying, “But that just shows how powerful the USA is”, is complete nonsense. It just shows how powerfully in debt you are and getting more so. Russia isn’t Iraq or Afghanistan, it’s RUSSIA. They have ancient culture, are very intelligent and very very powerful in their own garden. They defeated Napoleon and Hitler’s land armies. They threatened the Japanese navy, sailing around the whole world to do so. Ok they lost that fight. But to even attempt it, shows their courage, determination and ingenuity. They put the first human in space and the first orbiting satellite. THIS IS RUSSIA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? You’re jeopardising NATO and frittering lives away, for literally no benefit whatsoever, other than to get one up on Russia, bc of Syria. That’s not smart, it’s incredibly stupid and cold blooded, towards the innocent lives destroyed. I used to be against Ritter, Macgregor and co. But the more I think about it, after time going by. The more I’m coming to my senses and realising, they’ve got a dam good point. It might take longer than they say and they might not make their case, as well as could be, but their underlying message is the right one. War is pointless, futile, unnecessary and insane. It’s a fight that we don’t need to have, so why are we doing it? If a fight is on the cards, there’s much better ways, to go about it than this. Or try other methods, of containing any threats and challenges that are posed to the west. Russia and it’s allies leaders might even be acting like their worried, but really their laughing. Russia hasn’t sent its best military into Ukraine, this is its B team, or C team even. They wouldn’t be that foolish, in case a major war broke out directly with another major player. So this is all basically a great charade and a way of saving face, for Russia’s victory over the USA in Syria. I hope I’ve sufficiently laboured the point? Vote Trump = vote peace.

The USMC need a dedicated FSV (Centauro 2) to fill that gap left with the shelving of the M1

Dear Sir's what time scale we are looking for new ship buiding if we started this process as of today? Thank you

I wish that Indian Defense chiefs have a panel discussion as straight as this. Can CSIS organize a similar conference with India's Chief of Army, Navy and Airforce to understand the issues that Indian Defense organization is facing.

Good to know, thank you.

Coast Guard: Hey house, we're here too! Also, first time to see Space Force class A....very Jerr Bruckheimer. Other than that, what a great conversation.

What a diverse panel!

One to rule them all

TOGETHERS MAKE A DIFERENCES ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great APSOLUTNO BEST.. HARDEST, TOUGH.. ODRZAVANJE THANKFUL ME HAPPY...DATA VLADAN

I'm listening and the thruth non of this crossed my mind! You are the pros 💪 here! What I can do I'm open! This would be one time thing! Just to stop the violence! This is what you do

Around 35:00 minutes in the one gentleman i believe from the Navy makes a point about accepting capabilities from multiple venders/sources etc. How would we mitigate issues of consistency problems from manufacturing or sourcing? Or is he suggesting we use different makes or versions of say different weaponry and have a more versatile delivery program(s)? My concern is the added variables create a multitude more of potential issues. Distance for shipping too, i think just like with mash units, having the closest source to ammo and supplies is ideal, we need a weapon that can have its ammo generated as close to the unit as possible, which makes me think nuclear power and energy weapons and diversifying those capabilities would be huge. Electronic threats and other electrical based munitions, and possibly metallic projectiles could be attacked at the speed of light and thru natures own targeting system the way lightening works. I know it's probably possible, like a tesla tower. Im not really a journalist, just curious. Thank you all for your service.

I wish I was invited to both contribute and ask questions that can change minds.

Studying Russian military logistic routes & coordinating deep attacks that build up to a much bigger picture is key to catching our adversaries off guard, keeping them guessing, applying the art of feinting, thus increasing our odds of success. Could AI be useful in this arena to devise complicated plans minimizing risk to the best of it's ability without jeopardizing the mission, under the radar, low key operations, yet with a high degree of certainty for success?

we can also Canada’s first aircraft carrier with arctic capability including ice breaker! 🎉

So my brother and his two friends they joined into the buddy system but down there in Parris Island do you think the sounds that are buzzing through there with technology or your radios they got different ratios or common ordinances and got different placements inside of them like I feel sometimes my brother when he gets so far but he'll see certain things and he'll try to put you in danger I'm not really sure if he comprehends. But do you think that's a problem with some of them like once they leave that rotation starts different

We can make all these improvements, but if we don’t have military leaders who can see 6 inches in front of their faces, we end up exactly where we are. But it’s not fair to blame them, they’re a function of the cronyism, bureaucratic malfeasance, group think and political corruption. They don’t offer new insights, they mold their views to the blob. They’ve done well to maximize their wealth and benefits while eliminating their accountability. The disasters of Ukraine, the Afghanistan pull out, Syria, the Houthis, the embarrassment in the Sahel - no one has been fired, demoted, apologized, taken responsibility, nothing. Only the NCO’s and low ranking officers are held accountable.

Blessed 💜😇🦊🇮🇱🇪🇹

The real problem isn't US military readiness. It's political will. If there was a major war between the US and anyone else; it would be drastically different from what we're seeing in Ukraine.

24:44 bruhhh I forgot the coastguard was a branch! Dude was helping us remember 🤣🤣

They really do need to change their recruitment standards. I went to therapy in high school, and the following few years and,as it is, I wouldn't be able to get into the military without a ton of waivers - even though I worked through all the hard stuff years ago and am mentally healthier than at least 80% of the vets and military guys I know who havent been to therapy and haven't tried to work through their childhood issues

I have optics of 8 and a 360 something a constant current a constant medium that has measurements that are calculated the same every day
