He is also an Innovation Fellow at MIT. For over 35 years, Carter has leveraged his experience in national security, technology, and innovation to defend the United States and make a better world. He has done so under presidents of both political parties as well as in the private sector. As Secretary of Defense from 2015 to 2017, Carter pushed the Pentagon to “think outside its five-sided box.” He changed the trajectory of the military campaign to deliver ISIS a lasting defeat, designed and executed the strategic pivot to the Asia-Pacific, established a new playbook for the US and NATO to confront Russia’s aggression, and launched a national cyber strategy.

All errors of fact or omission are those of the author. 1 Research Methodology and Acknowledgement From October 2006 to May 2007 I spent a great deal of time on Capitol Hill trying to convince Congress of the need for reform in our national security interagency apparatus and the critical role that Congress must play in that reform. This paper is a narrative summary of the discussions I had during meetings and office calls with the members and staff listed below. On the vast majority of these occasions I was assisting Jim Locher, Executive Director of the Project on National Security Reform. Meetings with Members of Congress Senator Byron Dorgan, D-ND Senator James Inhofe, R-OK Senator Carl Levin, D-MI Senator Jack Reed, D-RI Senator John Warner, R-VA Congressman Roy Blunt, R-7th/MO Congressman Charles Boustany Jr. R-7th/LA Congressman Mike Conaway, R-11th/TX Congressman Geoff Davis, R-4th/KY Congressman Randy Forbes, R-4th/VA Congressman Steve Israel, D-2nd/NY Congressman Thaddeus McCotter, R-11th/MI Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-18th/FL Congressman Jim Saxton, R-3rd/NJ Congressman Ike Skelton, D-4th/MO
