Strategy for National Security Emergencies

Focus: The confluence of nation state threats and disasters/complex catastrophes demands a Strategy for National Security Emergencies. The US needs a framework for extant concerns over protection, prevention, mitigation, response, and recovery, but must recognize that future potential events could exceed current crises. This project continues from AY21 and focuses on nation state threats that could manifest themselves in war against and within the homeland. AY21 research helped to establish a strategic estimate of the nation’s current posture and an accompanying vision of what that posture should be. Envisioning the improved posture as the national objective, AY22’s efforts will be devoted to discerning the “ways and means” of attaining and maintaining that desired “end.”
