Episode 5: The Fourth Estate: DoD Beyond the Military Services 

In this episode of “How to Win,” we are joined by Vandenberg Advisory Board member David Rader to discuss the Department of Defense’s non-military service departments known as the “fourth estate” and their role in the Pentagon’s overall mission. As a former Deputy Director of the Global Investment and Economic Security Directorate at the Department of Defense, David walks us through the often-opaque non-military service departments within the Pentagon. He also outlines how a future administration can reform the fourth estate by reducing waste and inefficiencies so the departments can more effectively contribute to the Pentagon’s work in securing the nation.
