On Wednesday evening at 5 p.m. PDT, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will face off with her Republican counterpart in New York City for NBC News’ live broadcast of what the network is calling its “Commander-in-Chief Forum.”

Of course, the GOP contender had a much-ballyhooed dress rehearsal as the U.S.’ would-be national security envoy during his recent visit to Mexico, and no doubt the former Secretary of State will have something to say about that at their first televised face-off of the last phase of what has seemed like the longest presidential election cycle in recorded history.

Another surefire keyword: Benghazi.

The format will consist of an hour’s worth of Q&A, facilitated by moderator and “Today Show” mainstay Matt Lauer, about matters pertaining to the role of commander in chief, for which, of course, both candidates are currently auditioning, along with Green Party nominee Jill Stein and Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson, neither of whom were included in the program. The warm-up act to this fall’s debate series is co-sponsored by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, as NBC News noted in a pre-event post:

During this one-hour forum, both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be on stage back-to-back taking questions on national security, military affairs and veterans issues from NBC News and an audience comprised mainly of military veterans and active service members.

Truthdig will be live blogging what is likely to be an energetic display of … statecraft. Meanwhile, Vox offers this handy guide to how Wednesday’s meet-up will differ from more formal debates to come, as well as how to access it. Stay tuned.
