By law, the President is required to submit to Congress a National Security Strategy (NSS; 50 U. S.C §3043) and the Secretary of Defense aNational Defense Strategy (NDS; 10 U.S.C. §113). Officials said Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III may submit the NDS in early 2022. In March, the President released the INSSG, which stated the United States faces growing rivalry with China, Russia, and other authoritarian states, and would responsibly end America's longest war in Afghanistan. Elements of the INS SG appear to build upon aspects of the Trump Administration's strategic guidance documents, including the 2017 NSS and 2018 NDS. The 2018 NDS unclassified summary emphasized retaining a U.S. strategic competitive edge relative to China and Russia over countering violent extremist organizations. This and the call for increased and sustained investment to counter evolving threats from China and Russia marked a change in emphasis from previous strategy documents. The two approaches appear to differ in that the 2018 NDS did not address the question of pandemics or climate change as national security threats. The INSSG referenced pandemics and other biological risks, the escalating climate crisis, cyber and digital threats, international economic disruptions, protracted humanitarian crises, among other threats. The INSSG pledged to prioritize new resources for diplomacy and development and identified defense priorities as follows: Military personnel. (... we will continue to invest in the people who serve in our all- volunteer forces and their families.); Readiness. (We will sustain readiness and ensure that the U. S. Armed Forces remain the best trained and equipped force in the world.); Force structure. (... we will assess the appropriate structure, capabilities, and sizing of the force, and, working with the Congress, shift our emphasis from unneeded legacy platforms and weapons systems to free up resources for investments in the cutting-edge technologies and capabilities that will determine our military and national security advantage in the future.); Acquisition processes. (We will streamline the processes for developing, testing, acquiring, deploying, and securing these technologies.); Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov IN11788 CRS INSIGHT Prepared for Membersand Committeesof Congress
