I&L2030, this very important document, is ready for release. Logistics is our pacing function. The ability to sustain forces will allow us to persist  and provide a more lethal capability to the joint force. @USMCSgtMaj and I need all #Marines to make logistics a priority.

A real pleasure to co-author this piece with the inestimable @lightningulas who is seconded from @ASPC_Australia to @ASPI_org. Why it's in Australia's, the region's and the world's interests for Aus to commit not to test #ASAT s: it's a stag hunt for global norms

Today’s technologies are shaping tomorrow’s world. Dual use tech defies neat distinctions and existing rules. Even discourse is weaponised, using communications platforms designed to connect and empower. Solutions require big ideas & collective action: that’s Sydney Dialogue!
