Biden administration will seek to restore stability at Pentagon, analysts say

A Biden presidency is expected to strike a relatively steady course at the Pentagon, seeking to restore stability in military decision-making while reemphasizing alliances and pressing ahead with efforts to respond to China’s rise.

But the incoming administration is also likely to face challenges similar to those the Trump administration encountered, as new Defense Department leaders try to wind down counterinsurgent operations and make difficult trade-offs to shift toward Asia.
