                    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

                    Bridge also served as the primary Defense Department
