This July, CSBA hosted the Secretary of Defense Executive Fellows program for a two-week orientation ahead of the Fellows’ training appointments in the private sector. Led by Senior Fellow Toshi Yoshihara, the program featured discussions with senior experts on topics ranging from strategy and geography to the U.S.-China competition, transatlantic security trends, space, future warfare, technology and innovation, and the role of Congress in defense policymaking. Fellows also engaged in two days of experiential learning through a staff ride to Antietam and participation in CSBA’s Strategic Choices Exercise, using CSBA’s web-based force structure rebalancing tool.
