About Defense One

Defense One delivers news, analysis, and ideas about the topics and trends that are defining the future of U.S. defense and national security. From the day’s hottest news events to in-depth stories that put a critical light on hidden issues, Defense One covers the people and forces that are shaping a new era of defense and the 21st-century global security landscape. We spark high-level, highly visible conversations by offering an open door to innovative voices and fearless commentary, and by holding high-profile events that bring leaders and thinkers together.

This approach has made Defense One a crucial provider of ideas and information to national security professionals, stakeholders, and citizens, from senior leaders in Washington to commanders abroad to next-generation thinkers far from the political scrum.
