Claim your profileHi, my name is Mike Brest. I'm the defense reporter with the Washington Examiner, and began during the U.S. military's withdrawal from Afghanistan. My nearly two years on the beat have largely revolved around the end of the war and the department's subsequent prioritization of the Indo-Pacific, as well as its response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.My top interviews include acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller and former CENTCOM commander Gen. Frank McKenzie.
