How Polar Security and Space Security Are Linked
Two weeks into his administration, President Joe Biden delivered his first public speech on US foreign policy and national security. It covered a lot of ground and signaled the direction the administration intends to move—renewed focus on the value of alliances, reinvigorated support of nations that share our democratic ideals, placing front and center the shared security risks of global climate change, and a continuation of prioritizing answers to the unique challenges posed by China and Russia.
The not-so-secret value of sharing commercial geospatial and open-source information
Two years ago, reports surfaced that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was detaining hundreds of thousands of China’s Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in so-called “re-education” camps.

Shots in arms: How to get more military servicemembers vaccinated
Over a year into the global COVID-19 pandemic, there are small glimmers of hope that we may be seeing the beginning of the end of the crisis in the United States.

A Pentagon strategy for elevating the space mission
Defense Secretary faces a host of challenges that are rapidly outpacing fiscal calendars, election cycles and even the best laid military plans based on last century’s industrial age. Nowhere is that more true than in space, which is vital to U.S. national security, commerce and the comfort of our modern life.

The national security imperative to tackle illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing
Over the last few years illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing has become more recognized as a national security concern. At first glance, fish hardly seem to be on par with other cutting edge national security issues — cyber, space, artificial intelligence, drones, nuclear proliferation, and perhaps most importantly the return of strategic competition now commonly referred to “great” power rivalry (although perhaps not for long).
The wicked problem of drug trafficking in the Western Hemisphere
How to address the ongoing threat of illegal drug use in the United States remains a persistent challenge. The activities of increasingly sophisticated transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) exacerbate that challenge for the whole of the Western Hemisphere.
Under Susan Rice, will there be increased overlap between the Domestic Policy Council and the National Security Council?
On December 10, 2020, President-elect Joe Biden named Ambassador Susan Rice to lead the Domestic Policy Council (DPC), located within the Executive Office of the President. Ambassador Rice has an impressive — if not a bit controversial — resume, and served as an assistant secretary in the State Department, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and the national security advisor during the Obama administration. Outside of Washington D.C., the DPC is a little-known entity.
How to increase vaccination and mask-wearing to defeat COVID-19 Original

The United States’ 20.6 million infected and over 351,682 deaths as of January 4 is, by far, the world’s worst. But by using tax incentives and the disbursement or denial of federal funds, the Biden administration can better incentivize state- and individual-level compliance with public-health measures and motivate people to get vaccinated — both critical for containing the disease.

What you may have missed in the new National Space Policy
Last week, the Trump administration released its National Space Policy, capping off what has been a revolutionary and comprehensive government-wide effort to refocus America on the stars.
