President Biden is celebrated as a steadfast guardian of America’s national security and a distinguished foreign-policy leader. His leadership has secured his place in American history through significant achievements in strengthening global alliances and ensuring national security.
Under Biden’s leadership, the United States has fortified its unmatched global network of alliances, enhancing national security. He rallied global support for Ukraine following Russia’s 2022 invasion, positioned America strategically against China, and reinforced the U.S. presence in the Indo-Pacific. Additionally, he expanded and united NATO, bolstered Israel’s security after the October 7th Hamas attack, and worked to protect Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Biden also concluded America’s longest war and led recovery efforts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biden’s tenure saw the launch of the historic AUKUS partnership, aimed at securing the Indo-Pacific region. Amidst global challenges, he demonstrated the resilience and resolve of democracy. As Commander in Chief, Biden has shown a profound commitment to the Department of Defense and the military, securing an $841 billion funding in the latest National Defense Authorization Act, ensuring the U.S. military remains the strongest in the world.
Biden has championed diversity and inclusion in the military, breaking barriers with historic appointments such as Kathleen Hicks as the first female Deputy Secretary of Defense, Christine Wormuth as the first female Secretary of the Army, and Admiral Lisa Franchetti as the first female Chief of Naval Operations. He also appointed the first Black Secretary of Defense. Biden’s commitment to the all-volunteer force includes securing significant pay raises for troops and continuously supporting their welfare.
President Biden’s leadership mantra, “We will lead not merely by the example of our power but by the power of our example,” has guided his policies and actions.
