Because of the delay of the full, unclassified version of the strategy, the analysis focuses on two factors—high-end munitions stockpiles and overseas posture—that past studies have indicated are critical for strengthening deterrence against China and Russia in the near term. This report concludes that while the FY23 request makes some strides on both issues, more must be done today to improve the United States’ chances of deterring and, if necessary, defeating the adversary tomorrow Notes "November 2022"--Cover Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover page (CNAS, viewed December 7, 2022) Subject United States.
