From the Introduction by Brad Roberts: From 2004 to 2019, experts from the United States and China came together once or twice a year to discuss nuclear policy. Of the 22 total meetings, half were convened in Beijing and half in Hawaii, with each venue offering particular benefits to the dialogue (in Beijing, direct access to interested stakeholders, in Hawaii a less formal setting and a shared jet-lag burden). Participants included experts from think tanks and academia as well as former and current officials participating in their private capacities. The U.S. and Chinese militaries were also represented at junior and senior levels. Both sides also used the process to encourage the development of successor generation interest and expertise. Over this same period there were only a very small number of nuclear-focused meetings at the official level. This was essentially the only game in town. Such mixed gatherings are referred to as Track 1.5, as opposed to Track 1 (when officials gather for official purposes) or Track 2 (when academic experts meet). On the U.S. side, the dialogue was supported financially by the Department of Defense [via the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)]. Each session was co-organized by one or more U.S.-based think tanks and a Chinese counterpart. Over 15 years, DTRA invested approximately $5 million in the process. In 2019, DTRA terminated its support following declining Chinese participation and growing U.S. frustration with China's failure to agree to an official dialogue. As of late 2020, whether, when, and how to resume official bilateral dialogue remain open questions. To inform thinking about these questions, CGSR proposed to bring together the core group of participants from both sides to take stock of the dialogue process. On September 21 and 22, we convened a virtual workshop involving a dozen experts from each country. Toward that end, CGSR partnered with the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association (CACDA) to organize the event. Our primary purposes were to: review and take stock of two decades of nuclear-focused dialogue better understand the existing bilateral strategic military relationship identify emerging problems and opportunities to improve that relationship. This report is the result. It includes the four discussion papers prepared for the event (as subsequently revised in light of the discussion) as well as a summary that highlights main themes.

At this writing in autumn 2021, the Biden administration's National Defense Strategy Review is well underway, with a primary objective to strengthen the integration of capabilities for deterrence. This review follows a period of leadership focus on the Joint Staff and elsewhere in the Department of Defense (DOD) on multi-domain operations and the associated concept and capability development efforts. It comes after nearly three decades of effort by the U.S. defense community to come to terms with the challenges of modern warfare in an increasingly complex geopolitical and technological post-Cold War context. To take stock of the existing multi-domain deterrence enterprise requires answering a series of questions. These include, for example: How much progress have we (the larger defense community, the United States, and its allies) made in coming to terms with the challenges of multi-domain deterrence? By what metrics should we judge? Are the major conceptual and definitional issues settled or do they remain in flux?; What particular challenges have come into better focus as we've worked more deeply into the topic?; Are responses of the United States and its allies competitive with those of our principal adversaries? By what metrics should we judge?; What are the prospects for intensified competition? Is deterrence eroding? Strengthening?; What can and should be done (by the national laboratories, other capability providers, and other stakeholders) to ensure that deterrence remains reliable and effective?; What can and should be done to mitigate and manage the risks of intensified multi-domain competition in a period of major power rivalry? The essays collected here offer some answers to these and related questions. They grow out of a campaign of activity that has been underway at the Center for Global Security Research (CGSR) since 2015, which is aimed at understanding the requirements of integrated strategic deterrence. That campaign has included more than 30 workshops and more than 100 speakers. . Some of the papers presented here were developed for a capstone workshop in spring 2021 aimed at surfacing key insights and lessons.

Includes contributions by Linton Brooks and John R. Harvey! From Brad Roberts' Introduction: Many of the metrics by which to assess whether the 2030 strategic posture of the United States will be fit for purpose are not yet in clear focus. By 2030, the new complexity of this strategic landscape will have become more familiar to us. And the real world will have provided its own tests of the fitness of the posture. The essays included here explore different facets of this agenda from varied perspectives. The opening three chapters address the nuclear foundation of the U.S. strategic posture. Laboratory Director Bill Goldstein begins with an examination of the role of the U.S. nuclear enterprise in supporting national deterrence requirements, arguing that that role is broader than many think and has evolved significantly over the last decade or two. He and John Harvey strike cautionary notes about the ability of the enterprise to deliver the capabilities required by 2030, given the toxic combination of prolonged under-investment in the weapons complex and barriers to modernized production processes. Sheryl Hingorani then explores the additional burdens on the complex that would follow a geopolitical or technical surprise, arguing that hedge strategies as so far practiced have not yet adequately addressed the risk of strategic surprise. The next four essays examine non-nuclear elements in the U.S. strategic posture. I take up the missile defense topic. Dean Wilkening then addresses conventional prompt strike, arguing that hypersonic capabilities can add significantly to the U.S. strategic posture of 2030. Ben Bahney addresses space and counter-space capabilities. Paul Bernstein then takes up the question of how to ensure the needed integration of the tools in the strategic toolkit, arguing that success can be achieved only with steady incremental progress in tackling numerous obstacles. The next three essays examine the 2030 U.S. strategic posture in comparative terms. Linton Brooks explores the balance among Russia, China, and the United States in 2030, arguing that the U.S. position will likely have been maintained but not improved. Anya Loukianova Fink sets out likely Russian views of the strategic balance in 2030 and comes to conclusions analogous to those of Linton Brooks. Michael Shoebridge puts his focus on China's soft power strategy, arguing that it will make significant advances over the coming decade. The volume closes with my discussion of conclusions. We recognize that the picture presented here is incompleteâ"that there are.
