Summary

In this episode of Intelligence Matters, host Michael Morell speaks with Admiral Sandy Winnefeld, former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about the evolving military threats facing the United States and how potential adversaries are developing non-military means to counter U.S. capabilities.

Winnefeld tells Morell how the U.S. military needs to change its approach in order to maintain its position in the current security environment.
