A new planning group will also look at vulnerabilities the U.S. may face during the pandemic and where adversaries could try to take advantage.

The group is examining how the military is postured around the world, whether it needs to focus more personnel or assets domestically, and where it needs to invest personnel and money to operate during and after COVID-19.
