The U.S. military not only is weak overall but \\u201cat growing risk of not being able to meet the demands of defending America\\u2019s vital national interests,\\u201d according to a new report from The Heritage Foundation. 

On Tuesday, Heritage released its 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength, a document of nearly 600 pages that assesses the strength of America\\u2019s armed forces. 

\\u201cIn our index, we score or measure the status of American military power in the year that\\u2019s just passed. Over years, you can start to see trends and you can see the implications for the United States, and our foreign policy, and economic health, and those sorts of things,\\u201d says Dakota Wood, a senior research fellow in The Heritage Foundation\\u2019s Center for National Defense. (The Daily Signal is Heritage\\u2019s multimedia news organization.) 

\\u201cI think it\\u2019s the easiest way to think about it, is how did the Army do? The Navy, the Air Force, and [other] military services? And what was the nature of the world?\\u201d Wood, who served for over two decades as a Marine, says. 

Wood joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to break down the findings of the Index of U.S. Military Strength, how America\\u2019s military compares to that of China, and what he hopes Americans will take away from the report.
