The last two years have brought an onslaught of challenges that vexed the United States, including the COVID-19 pandemic; cyberattacks and supply chain compromises; environmental disasters; international leadership changes through embattled elections and coups; economic instability; and the onslaught of global refugee flows, among a host of other consuming issues. On its own, COVID-19 disrupted life worldwide, with far-reaching effects going well beyond global health and impacting the economic, political and security domains.

No longer can these areas of focus be viewed independently and addressed myopically.
