    Securing Our Future in a Disrupted World Report from the Third Atlantic Future Forum 20 - 21 October 2020 hosted and broadcast live from HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH at Her Majesty’s Naval Base, Portsmouth, England @FutureAtlantic #AFForum2020 “We like to think of this particular ship of state, like all our ships, as an embassy, an intelligence station and a launchpad for aircraft. Over the next couple of days, it is also a launch pad for ideas.” Admiral Tony Radakin CB ADC, First Sea Lord, Royal Navy 1 Foreword from Lord Sedwill Between 20th & 21st October 2020 I was delighted to chair the third Atlantic Future Forum convened onboard HMS Queen Elizabeth in Portsmouth, UK. Hosting the event had its challenges, especially COVID-19, but I was pleased that this did not deter us from meeting to discuss the challenges of our time. With my thanks to our strategic partners, Microsoft for hosting us so expertly online, and our excellent production team, the Forum persevered. Over 800 people were able to join us online. A fantastic achievement. This year, the global pandemic demanded that we took an unflinching look at what it had exposed and the lessons that we needed to apply to restore the stability, prosperity and sustainability, which had kept us all safe since the Atlantic Charter was signed nearly 80 years ago. Resilience was a key theme and the role of our transatlantic alliance has never been more relevant. The breadth and interchangeability of our partnerships is what gives us a competitive advantage that our adversaries cannot match. This theme also extends across all who we work with, in particular our strategic partners from the defence and technology sectors, who we look to help us keep up with the fearsome pace of change that technology brings.

  • Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress
    Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 23, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41153 Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The diminishment of Arctic sea ice has led to increased human activities in the Arctic, and has heightened interest in, and concerns about, the region’s future. The United States, by virtue of Alaska, is an Arctic country and has substantial interests in the region. The seven other Arctic states are Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark (by virtue of Greenland), and Russia. The Arctic Research and Policy Act (ARPA) of 1984 (Title I of P.L. 98-373 of July 31, 1984) “provide[s] for a comprehensive national policy dealing with national research needs and objectives in the Arctic.” The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the lead federal agency for implementing Arctic research policy. The Arctic Council, created in 1996, is the leading international forum for addressing issues relating to the Arctic. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) sets forth a comprehensive regime of law and order in the world’s oceans, including the Arctic Ocean. The United States is not a party to UNCLOS. Record low extents of Arctic sea ice over the past decade have focused scientific and policy attention on links to global climate change and projected ice-free seasons in the Arctic within decades. These changes have potential consequences for weather in the United States, access to mineral and biological resources in the Arctic, the economies and cultures of peoples in the region, and national security.

  • Roi Gen Hyten
    20180626-052248-CASE-05 1 REPORT OF INVESTIGATION: GENERAL JOHN E. HYTEN U.S. AIR FORCE I. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Complaint Origin and Allegations From June 22 through July 31, 2018, the complainant submitted various allegations to different DoD agencies regarding U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) personnel. On August 27, 2018, the complainant submitted a complaint to the DoD Office of Inspector General alleging misconduct against USSTRATCOM Commander, General (Gen) John E. Hyten, U.S. Air Force (USAF). To clarify the allegations, we interviewed the complainant on August 31, 2018. On September 12, 2018, we initiated an investigation into the allegations that from November 2016 through March 2018, Gen Hyten: (1) misused military aircraft (MilAir) for personal reasons, (2) allowed his spouse to travel on MilAir for inappropriate reasons, (3) misused his protective service detail (PSD) for personal reasons, and (4) misused his Government cell phone for personal matters. On October 1, 2018, the complainant provided details of an additional allegation that Gen Hyten improperly released classified information to members of his command. We included that allegation as part of this investigation. On November 16, 2018, the complainant submitted an allegation that Gen Hyten’s “emotional state and judgement are questionable” and that he cried “uncontrollably in front of middle school children.” We also included that allegation as part of this investigation.1 1 Recently, the complainant indicated that additional documents related to Gen Hyten’s emotional state would be provided to us but only in hard copy, in person, and on the record during an interview. The complainant asserted the new information “opens up new aspects for analysis and investigation.” We repeatedly asked the complainant to send us the information and documents for our review, so that we could determine whether the information warranted additional interviews of the complainant or any other witness.

Almost no one was wearing a mask and the conference, and its sessions, were largely the same as in other years. Now, six months later, almost everything has changed, and we’ve accepted a new normal. Workflows are different. Telework is here. It’s not yet safe to have gatherings like we’ve had in the past.
