Leading the Way in National Security Reform
The Project on National Security Reform (PNSR) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, public interest organization working to revitalize the American government by transforming the national security system.
Since the current national security system was developed in 1947, the world has changed. As the President announced, "We can't win the future with a government of the past." PNSR's sole focus is to help government transition its national security system into an institution that looks at opportunities as much as threats, plays America's strengths, preserves its national values, and helps fulfill its promise to its people and the world as a leading force for good.
Funded and supported by Congress, foundations and corporations, it has accepted this mission in response to a disturbing new consensus amongst American leaders and citizens that the system is dangerously out-dated, imbalanced and dysfunctional. It serves as an authoritative resource and a trusted advisor that defines and develops the means to bridge the gap between the current state and needed future state of national security.
Led by a 26-member Guiding Coalition that includes former senior federal officials with extensive national security experience, in 2008 PNSR has issued one of the most comprehensive studies of the U.S. national security system in American history -- Forging a New Shield -- which recommends solutions to the problems that plague the current system.
In 2009, a follow-on report -- Turning Ideas into Action -- was published that proposes next steps and provides the implementation tools that will be required to make national security reform a reality.
PNSR is now partnering with key stakeholders to transform the system through initiatives such as proof-of-principle pilot projects and the development of the National Security Reform Roadmap and Scorecard.
We invite you to join us -- and more than 300 experts from think tanks, universities, federal agencies, law firms and corporations who contribute to our work -- in this important effort to secure America's future.
