Tune in #live at 8:15 a.m. ET to hear #GenDunford's remarks at the @HFXforum on the U.S. military's role in addressing international security challenges alongside our allies and partners: facebook.com/Halifaxtheforum
#GenDunford on the National Defense Strategy: Today our #military can defend the homeland and meet our alliance commitments. The NDS articulates what is necessary to maintain our competitive advantage into the future in terms of resourcing and technology investment. #HISF2018
#GenDunford: I'm never complacent about the pace of technological change. It's incumbent upon us to invest in capability development. It's a combination of ideas and technology to remain competitive against #China and #Russia. #HISF2018
#GenDunford: Even as we have built up capabilities to assure allies & deter aggression w/ #Russia & #China, our argument has been that competition does not necessarily lead to conflict. We remain transparent in our communications with them to mitigate risk of miscalculation
#GenDunford on U.S. strategy in #Afghanistan: We now have a plan to properly resource the Afghan forces, including training and leadership development. The key to success is to combine military & diplomatic pressure that will lead to an Afghan-led reconciliation process #HISF2018
#GenDunford on today's defense of the homeland: We cannot imagine any conflict today that doesn't involve all domains, including the arctic.
#HISF2018
#GenDunford on #missiledefense and protecting the homeland: "It's about getting the right balance of defensive and offensive capabilities to deal with the enemy's strike capability." #HISF2018
#GenDunford on the #INFTreaty: The primary focus has been to move #Russia back into compliance and then deal with emerging technologies. #HISF2018
#GenDunford on dealing w/ #violentextremism: Still need to address the underlying conditions that feed it. We need a sustainable solution, politically, fiscally and militarily in the context of the NDS and the other challenges we face. #HISF2018
#GenDunford on U.S. @DeptofDefense spending in comparison to other country's defense spending: Democracy can afford survival.

We also have global commitments and responsibilities to our allies and partners as the international guarantor and leader of the free world.
#HISF2018
#GenDunford on @DeptofDefense border support to @CBP: What we are doing in support of CBP and DHS is filling legitimate capability gaps. Our job is to support DHS in doing their job. #HISF2018
#GenDunford on the importance of the military staying apolitical: We are a trusted institution because we remain apolitical. We swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States, our azmith.
#GenDunford on professional #military education: Our emphasis now is on teaching future leaders how to think and solve problems in the complex security environment of the 21st century. We're transitioning to a historical case model approach so we're informed by history #HISF2018
#GenDunford on @DeptofDefense investments in innovation and experimentation: While being good stewards of resources, we must also take sufficient risk to see what is in the art of the possible in the future. #HISF2018

#GenDunford on #DDay75: "On the 75th anniversary of the #Normandy Landings, we express our utmost gratitude to our Nation’s World War II veterans. Their unwavering dedication and devotion to our country and our way of life cannot be overstated. (1/4)
As we remember their sacrifices on the beaches of Northern France, we are reminded of a simple adage: ‘Weapons of war come and go, but the great constant is the people.’ (2/4) #DDay75thAnniversary
They answered the world’s call for help without hesitation or indecision in the midst of great peril to themselves and their fellow service members. Without their immeasurable sacrifices, this experiment we call democracy would no longer exist. (3/4) #HonorThem

Watch #LIVE coverage of the @USNavy's commissioning of the #USSThomasHudner and stay tuned for remarks from #GenDunford on his legacy of service. ⬇️
#GenDunford: I'm here as the son of a #Marine who was on the ground fighting in the Chosin Reservoir. On 4 Dec 1950, Ensign Brown and Lieutenant Hudner were supporting my father and his fellow Marines. #USSThomasHudner @USNavy Image
#GenDunford: I first met him in the late 1980s...someone pointed him out and then gave me his background. I went over hoping to shake the hand of a true American hero. In that initial engagement, I was struck by Captain Thomas Hudner's courtesy and his humility #USSThomasHudner Image
