The Military Index: A Guidebook for Policymakers | The Kevin Roberts Show with Larry O’Connor

About this episode

The episode discusses the military index as a guidebook for policymakers to improve military efficiency and preparedness under the Trump Administration.

Throughout Biden’s presidency, our military was neglected and underfunded. Since Trump came in office just over a year ago, improvements have already been made to our leadership, systems, investments, and morale, but we know that climbing out from under that former degradation and humiliation of our troops takes time. The Heritage Foundation hopes to build our troops back up through policy-focused initiatives. The military index is a guidebook for policymakers on how to ensure our military is as efficient and prepared as possible. The Trump Administration has made strides in fortifying our troops, but the work isn’t finished. This video would not be possible without our generous donors.
