From Integrated Deterrence to Integrated Defense 

Antulio Echevarria, CCW and US Army War College

This presentation is an in-progress update of a research effort aimed at improving the US Defense Department’s concept of Integrated Deterrence.  It discusses some of the concept’s difficulties as brought to light by the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.  It offers some potential remedies as well.
