The Department of War announced on Monday the appointment of a new slate of members to the Defense Policy Board, decades-old advisory committee designed to provide independent and strategic advice to the senior leaders of the department.

Former Ambassador Robert Lighthizer, who served as U.S. Trade Representative from 2017 to 2021 during the first Trump administration, will serve as the chairman of the board, while former Sen. Norm Coleman, a Minnesota Republican, will serve as vice chairman.
