Please join the CSIS International Security Program (ISP) and the U.S. Naval Institute for a virtual Maritime Security Dialogue event featuring VADM George Wikoff, USN, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT), U.S. 5th Fleet and Combined Maritime Forces. VADM Wikoff and RADM Raymond A. Spicer, USN (Ret.), chief executive officer and publisher, U.S. Naval Institute, will discuss how the U.S. Navy is helping preserve the free flow of commerce in the Red Sea and across the globe. Dr. Seth G. Jones, CSIS senior vice president, Harold Brown Chair, and ISP director, will offer opening remarks. The Maritime Security Dialogue series brings together CSIS and the U.S. Naval Institute, two of the nation’s most respected non-partisan institutions. The series highlights the unique challenges facing the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard from national level maritime policy to naval concept development and program design. Given budgetary challenges, technological opportunities, and ongoing strategic adjustments, the nature and employment of U.S. maritime forces are likely to undergo significant change over the next ten to fifteen years. The Maritime Security Dialogue provides an unmatched forum for discussion of these issues with the nation’s maritime leaders. This event is made possible by support from HII.
