AURORA, Colo.—Air & Space Forces Magazine sat down with retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Houston “Slider” Cantwell, now a senior fellow with the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, at the AFA Warfare Symposium to talk about his research and panel discussion on Arctic defense and how the U.S. is combatting Russia and China in the region.
The nominee to lead the Pentagon’s Indo-Pacific affairs office argued allies to need to step up their efforts to counter the growing threat of China, while also advocating for the U.S. to maintain “combat-credible” forces and strong investments in the region at his Senate confirmation hearing Oct. 7.
