Section 2 - The Common Defense

Section Two of the Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025" focuses on national defense and foreign policy, and it outlines a conservative vision for reshaping U.S. national security and foreign policy. It covers:

  • Department of Defense reforms, emphasizing military readiness and a shift away from social initiatives
  • State Department restructuring to align with conservative presidential agendas
  • A more assertive stance towards China and other global competitors
  • Changes to diplomatic priorities, including reduced focus on climate change and social issues abroad
  • Reforms to intelligence agencies and international development efforts
  • Proposed changes to immigration and border security structures

The section argues for a return to a "peace through strength" approach, advocating for increased military preparedness, a more confrontational foreign policy, and a realignment of government agencies to support these goals. It critiques current policies as overly focused on social issues at the expense of traditional security concerns.
