Friday, February 21, 2025 | 10:00 am - 2:00 pm VIA ZOOM "For his second administration, President Donald Trump has proposed and begun to execute a dramatic reimagining of the United States military. President Trump's reimagining of the federal military has included: (1) increased usage of the federal military domestically: (2) lessening or removing legal and bureaucratic restrictions on warfighting efforts internationally; (2) implementing measures for ensuring loyalty amongst general officers, while considering means to punish disloyalty; and (4) eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusiveness efforts within the military, to include banning transgender individuals from serving. President Trump proposes such a reimagining as means to ensure the federal military is prepared for rising global threats to the security of the United States. President Trump's proposals have been met with much controversy. This virtual discussion brings together many of the nation's leading national security and military law scholars to discuss President Trump's proposed reimagining of the United States military and the controversies that have arisen. The speakers will explore the legal and political frameworks in place that both enable and restrict President Trump's proposals, while also exploring the attendant impacts these reform measures may have on servicemembers, national security, and democratic and societal norms. It ultimately asks whether President Trump's reimaging of our nation's military makes sense - or does it present a threat to our national security, our servicemembers, and democratic and societal norms. And if it does pose such a threat, what remedies are available under the current legal and political frameworks." Agenda
