About Defense One
Defense One delivers news, timely analysis, and bold ideas on the topics and trends that are defining the future of U.S. defense and international security.
Founded in 2013, Defense One gives military and security professionals, stakeholders, and citizens what they need to know, from senior leaders in Washington to commanders abroad and next-generation thinkers far from the political scrum.

Defense One publishes innovative, fearless commentary from old hands and new voices in the national-security community. We stage live events with exclusive newsmaker interviews and discussions led by our experienced journalists. And we produce award-winning podcasts and informative videos.
