Earlier in his career, Bridge served as the Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy and
Force Development from 2017-2018. In that role, he
served as the lead official in the development and
rollout of the Department’s preeminent strategic
planning guidance, the 2018 National Defense
Strategy (NDS). The 2018 NDS shifted the Department
of Defense’s focus to the challenges to US security
interests posed first and foremost by China,
followed by Russia; emphasized restoring the Joint
Force’s warfighting edge against these major power
competitors; and stressed the importance of clearly
focusing on these priorities over lesser interests.
Bridge also served as the primary Defense Department
representative in the development of the 2017
National Security Strategy.<br>
