State of Defense 2025: Navy and Marines
The global security landscape is increasingly dynamic and fraught with challenges. State and non-state actors employ sophisticated tactics and weaponry while technology evolves at breakneck speed, from cyber warfare and AI-powered operations to hypersonic weapons and space-based systems. In response, the U.S. military is recalibrating its strategies, embracing innovation, and boosting its capabilities in land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace.
The sixth annual State of Defense series will explore how each service branch is adapting to this rapidly shifting environment. What threats, technologies, and tactical decisions will shape priorities in 2025?
Defense One will convene senior leaders from the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Space Force, along with a host of experts, to provide exclusive insights into the future of U.S. national defense, the strategic decisions shaping its trajectory, and the challenges ahead.
