2023 Biodefense Posture Review

The National Biodefense Strategy makes clear that it is a vital interest of the United States to manage the risk of biological incidents, whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate. DoD plays an important role in helping the national biodefense enterprise prepare for, prevent, deter, detect, rapidly respond to, and recover from biological threats at home and abroad.

This report from the inaugural Biodefense Posture Review outlines strategic guidance, findings, and reforms necessary to posture DoD to meet present and future challenges posed by biological threats.
