    February 27, 2017 The Honorable Paul Ryan The Honorable Mitch McConnell Speaker of the House Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Chuck Schumer Minority Leader Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate Dear Speaker Ryan, Minority Leader Pelosi, Majority Leader McConnell, and Minority Leader Schumer: As you and your colleagues address the federal budget for Fiscal Year 2018, we write as retired three and four star flag and general officers from all branches of the armed services to share our strong conviction that elevating and strengthening diplomacy and development alongside defense are critical to keeping America safe. We know from our service in uniform that many of the crises our nation faces do not have military solutions alone – from confronting violent extremist groups like ISIS in the Middle East and North Africa to preventing pandemics like Ebola and stabilizing weak and fragile states that can lead to greater instability. There are 65 million displaced people today, the most since World War II, with consequences including refugee flows that are threatening America’s strategic allies in Israel, Jordan, Turkey, and Europe. The State Department, USAID, Millennium Challenge Corporation, Peace Corps and other development agencies are critical to preventing conflict and reducing the need to put our men and women in uniform in harm’s way. As Secretary James Mattis said while Commander of U.S. Central Command, “If you don’t fully fund the State Department, then I need to buy more ammunition.” The military will lead the fight against terrorism on the battlefield, but it needs strong civilian partners in the battle against the drivers of extremism– lack of opportunity, insecurity, injustice, and hopelessness.

DUNFORD, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff * * * * * ANDERSON COURT REPORTING 1800 Diagonal Road, Suite 600 Alexandria, VA 22314 Phone (703) 519-7180 Fax (703) 519-7190 DUNFORD-2019/05/29 2 P R O C E E D I N G S GENERAL ALLEN: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Brookings Institution. My name is John Allen. I am the president of Brookings and I am very, very pleased this morning to welcome our honored guest, the 19th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and my friend, General Joe Dunford. General Dunford has been the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff since October 2015, and prior to that he served as our nation's 36th commandant of the Marine Corps. And he commanded all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan before that. General Dunford and I have known each other for many years, since were captains, in fact. I can say with complete certainty and sincerity that he is one of the finest Marines to have been minted in the modern era of the Marine Corps. In 1996 Lieutenant Colonel Dunford would take command of the Second Battalion, 6th Marines from me at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, and in years later in Kabul we would repeat that ceremony as he would take command of the war effort in Afghanistan.
