Defense-related news, reports, and developments from the United States and around the world

The Defense Post is a leading independent security and defense news publication dedicated to defense-related news, reports, and developments from the United States and around the world.

The Defense Post has a significant international audience, particularly in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia.

The Defense Post delivers breaking news, in-depth coverage, investigations, company reviews and commentary on a wide range of national defense, international security and foreign policy issues, and covers a full gamut of topics from news from conflict zones to industry and technology developments to detailed academic analysis.

Based in Washington D.C., The Defense Post aims to tell important stories from local or regional points of view, employing local voices to provide a counterpoint to many other defense outlets which focus on military news from their home nation’s perspective.

The Defense Post strives to shine a light on areas of the world often overlooked in the fast-paced news environment, taking time to report lesser-spotted stories.

Impartial but outspoken and without fear or favor, The Defense Post endeavors to tell the facts as it sees them and is committed to fairness and the right of reply.
