The Defense Policy Board provides strategic counsel on national security and defense policy issues for senior Pentagon leaders, including Mr. Hegseth, Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen A. Feinberg and Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby.<\/p>\n

The Defense Policy Board will be led by Ambassador Robert Lighthizer, a former U.S. trade representative from 2017-2021. Former Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota will serve as the board\u2019s vice chair.<\/p>\n

The board includes venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, which invests in several defense technology companies, including Anduril Industries. Anduril builds autonomous systems and software platforms for military applications.<\/p>\n
