Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has selected a new team to help shape policy for the Pentagon.<\/p>\n

The Department of War\u2019s (DOW) new Defense Policy Board roster will be composed of former government officials, Silicon Valley investors, nuclear deterrence specialists, former lawmakers, economic security officials and conservative policy figures. Hegseth is adding the fresh appointees to the board as the Trump administration institutes sweeping reforms to the Pentagon and pivots towards the artificial intelligence (AI) arms race with China.<\/p>\n

The DOW board will be chaired by Robert Lighthizer, who was President Donald Trump\u2019s U.S. trade representative during his first term, from 2017 to 2021. (RELATED: China Tries Tightening Its Grip On Panama Canal)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEstablished in 1985, the Defense Policy Board is an advisory committee tasked with providing independent strategic advice and recommendations to the Secretary, the Deputy Secretary, and the Under Secretary for Policy,\u201d according to a Monday DOW press release.<\/p>\n

Hegseth also named former Republican Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman as vice chair and appointed 13 other members to the board, according to Monday\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Among the most recognizable members are Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of Netscape and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz; retired Adm. Chas Richard, the former commander of U.S. Strategic Command; Michael Pillsbury, a longtime China strategist; Blake Masters, a technology investor and former Arizona Republican Senate candidate and Mike Garcia, a former Republican congressman from California and Navy fighter pilot.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefense Policy Board members will meet with senior department officials, to include the Secretary, on a regular basis to share their distinguished perspectives and experiences from across the government and private sector,\u201d a DOW official told the Daily Caller News Foundation. \u201cWe look forward to hearing their viewpoints on how the Department of War can effectively implement President Trump\u2019s America First, Peace Through Strength agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

The board does not have any power to command troops or conduct operations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The other new members on the board are former State Department Director of Policy Planning Michael Anton, Senior Director of Policy at the Conservative Partnership Institute Rachel Bovard, former Treasury Assistant Secretary Tom Feddo, Florida Board of Governors member Kenneth Jones, Heritage Foundation fellow Daniel McCarthy, Assistant United States Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania Francis Sempa, previous chairman of the board Christopher Williams and former Acting-Assistant Attorney General Theo Wold.<\/p>\n

The White House referred to the DOW. Representatives for several board members and affiliated organizations did not respond to requests for comment. Bovard and McCarthy declined to comment.<\/p>\n

China In Focus?<\/h3>\n

The board is stacked with China hawks, who have written and commented on the rising threat from Beijing as the U.S. rises to the challenge of an AI arms race with China.<\/p>\n

Garcia, a former Republican congressman from California, is a vocal critic of Beijing. Garcia led the charge on , a bill that updated the definition of \u201cmalign foreign talent recruitment programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CHIPS Act is only as strong as its defenses against foreign exploitation,\u201d Rep. Garcia said in a Sept. 9, 2024, House Science Committee press release. \u201cThis bill eliminates confusing language in the CHIPS Act that could have allowed China to rob, replicate, and replace our innovations with their own.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChina is not our friend,\u201d Garcia said in an opening statement before the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology on May 12, 2022. \u201cThe Chinese Communist Party is actively attempting to supplant the United States as the driving force in Science and Technology research.\u201d<\/p>\n

Retired Adm. Richard, who previously served as commander of U.S. Strategic Command, gives the board one of its clearest military voices. Richard has warned in the past that the U.S. is no longer facing only Russia, but also China and other growing powers in a multipolar order.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are witnessing a strategic breakout by China,\u201d the Department of War reported on Aug. 12, 2021, citing Richard. \u201cThe explosive growth and modernization of its nuclear and conventional forces can only be what I describe as breathtaking. And frankly, that word breathtaking may not be enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I assess our level of deterrence against China, the ship is slowly sinking,\u201d the Department of War reported on Nov. 3, 2022, citing Richard. \u201cIt is sinking slowly, but it is sinking, as fundamentally they are putting capability in the field faster than we are. As those curves keep going, it isn\u2019t going to matter how good our [operating plan] is or how good our commanders are, or how good our forces are \u2014 we\u2019re not going to have enough of them. And that is a very near-term problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

The board has a direct line into Silicon Valley through Andreessen at a time when AI, autonomous systems and defense technology are increasingly central to military planning. Andreessen co-founded Netscape and later co-founded Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm that has pushed deeper into defense, aerospace, manufacturing, public safety and other industries tied to national defense.<\/p>\n

Longtime China strategist Pillsbury adds another China-focused voice to the board. Pillsbury is best known for \u201cThe Hundred-Year Marathon,\u201d a book arguing that Beijing is pursuing a long-term strategy to displace the United States as the world\u2019s leading power.<\/p>\n

Masters brings a link to the technology wing of the conservative movement. He is currently a board member of the tech-focused Thiel Foundation.<\/p>\n

Masters co-wrote \u201cZero to One\u201d with billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel, and previously served as chief operating officer of Thiel Capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina is the biggest geopolitical rival,\u201d Masters told The Spectator in an interview on July 19, 2021. \u201cI think we\u2019ve been asleep at the wheel on China for decades. I think they take a long-term view. They\u2019re deadly serious, a fundamentally incompatible civilization, and we\u2019ve let them have the keys, so that\u2019s going to be a real issue for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bovard is a senior conservative policy figure who spent years in conservative Capitol Hill policy circles, including work for Sen. Rand Paul and the Senate Steering Committee. She advocates against Big Tech and China.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Big Tech, Republicans will need to come out swinging,\u201d Bovard wrote in an article on The Federalist.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican data is being put at risk by American companies\u2019 willingness to grovel to China,\u201d Bovard wrote in a 2019 op-ed for\u00a0the Daily<\/span> Caller News Foundation. \u201cWhile American tech companies have been eagerly seeking to please China over the last two decades, China has been busy trying to copy and steal American technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

The economic security and foreign investment angle is covered by Feddo. He served as the first assistant Treasury secretary for investment security, leading the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which reviews foreign transactions for national security risks.<\/p>\n

Feddo has pointed out that China\u2019s expansive investments throughout America could be allowing Chinese influence in the U.S. economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne well-covered story over the last several years was a marked uptick in foreign investment from China,\u201d the Treasury reported on July 15, 2020, citing Feddo. \u201cWe know that foreign investment isn\u2019t always benign.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Trump administration legal policy official Wold will add more representation from the conservative policy world. Wold served in the Trump administration\u00a0and has focused more recently on technology, the administrative state and big tech issues.<\/p>\n

Child safety is one of Wold\u2019s main focuses. He has advocated for the management of social media platforms that could show teenagers and kids harmful content.<\/p>\n

Wold has said in the past that Americans should support U.S.-made goods over those produced by Beijing.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuy American. Your dollars should support your countrymen, not the CCP,\u201d Wold wrote on the Daily Caller on June 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Defense Policy Board should remain focused on the challenges that matter most to America\u2019s long-term security,\u201d Bob Peters, acting director of the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for National Security at the Heritage Foundation, told the DCNF. \u201cMeeting our future security needs requires rebuilding America\u2019s defense industrial base and ensuring our servicemembers have the ships, precision munitions, and military capabilities they need to deter conflict and, if deterrence fails, decisively defeat future adversarial aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Urgent Threat\u2019<\/h3>\n

Lighthizer\u2019s appointment suggests the department could place added emphasis on the connection between defense policy, industrial capacity, trade policy and the industrial competition with Beijing.<\/p>\n

Lighthizer has been openly critical of the economic ties the U.S. has to China in the past and has suggested a decoupling of the two nations\u2019 economies.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongress should enact policies that strategically decouple the United States economy from the Chinese economy,\u201d said at the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party on May 17, 2023. \u201cIn parallel, it should take steps to reinvigorate the health of the American industrial base to support American workers and ensure that America is prepared to combat Chinese military and economic coercion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunist China is the most urgent threat to U.S. national security, and our defense policies should reflect that reality,\u201d Peters told the DCNF.<\/p>\n

The Defense Policy Board\u2019s recommendations can help shape the thinking of top Pentagon officials on long-term strategic questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt [the Defense Policy Board] focuses on matters pertaining to strategic planning, the policy implications of U.S. force structure and modernization, regional defense policies, and other defense policy and national security issues of special interest to the Department,\u201d according to the Monday DOW press release.<\/p>\n

The appointment of Coleman as the board\u2019s vice chair reinforces Trump\u2019s current stance on Iran. Coleman has advocated for the denuclearization of Iran since as early as 2006 and has even called for regime change.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that Iran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, that is, that\u2019s the bottom line,\u201d Coleman said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting on May 17, 2006. \u201cRegime changes in the best interest of this country [Iran]. This is a regime in which you\u2019ve got a president openly talking about the destruction of Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hegseth appointed these new members during a critical moment for the U.S. military and foreign policy as conflicts rage throughout the world.<\/p>\n

The Iran War has also been increasingly active in recent weeks, as a Memorandum of Understanding was signed that enacted a ceasefire, but hostilities quickly resumed after Trump claimed Iran violated the ceasefire.<\/p>\n

The Russo-Ukrainian conflict has also seen a recent escalation as the Ukrainians have begun to strike Moscow, and the Russian Ministry of Defense has threatened to attack targets in Western Europe.<\/p>\n

China has been increasingly confrontational with Taiwan over the last few months. China has repeatedly sent aircraft and ships into the waters and skies that surround Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Notably, China ramped up its aerial and naval incursions during a key tech conference in Taiwan several times in one week in June.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina to me is an existential threat to the United States,\u201d Lighthizer said during an interview on \u201c60 Minutes\u201d on Feb. 2, 2025. \u201cIt is\u2013 a very, very competent adversary.\u201d<\/p>\n
