Modernizing to Meet the Future Threat: A Conversation with Lieutenant General Eric Austin, USMC

Please join the CSIS Defense and Security Department (DSD) and the U.S. Naval Institute (USNI) on Thursday, June 18 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for a Maritime Security Dialogue event featuring Lieutenant General Eric Austin, USMC, CG, MCCDC / DC, CD&I / PAE-MC. LtGen Austin will sit down with Dr. Seth G. Jones, president, CSIS Defense and Security Department, to discuss the future growth of the Marine Corps, lessons from the recent wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and implications for the Indo-Pacific. Rear Admiral Raymond A. Spicer, USN (Ret.), chief executive officer and publisher, U.S. Naval Institute, will offer opening remarks. The Maritime Security Dialogue series brings together CSIS and the U.S. Naval Institute, two of the nation's most respected non-partisan institutions. The series highlights the unique challenges facing the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard from national level maritime policy to naval concept development and program design. Given budgetary challenges, technological opportunities, and ongoing strategic adjustments, the nature and employment of U.S. maritime forces are likely to undergo significant change over the next ten to fifteen years. The Maritime Security Dialogue provides an unmatched forum for discussion of these issues with the nation's maritime leaders. This event is made possible by support from HII. --------------------------------------------- A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
