ABOUT THE INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF WAR

Vigorously defending America's national security preserves our free and democratic way of life. American policy makers have and will always make decisions about war and the threat of war to defend our homeland, stabilize regions abroad, and defend our allies. Thus, the American democratic system requires an electorate and leadership well versed in military affairs.

The Institute for the Study of War is a private, nonpartisan, not-for-profit institution whose goal is to educate current and future decision makers and thereby enhance the quality of policy debates. The Institute’s work is addressed to government officials and legislators, teachers and students, business executives, professionals, journalists, and all citizens interested in a serious understanding of war and government policy.

The Institute sponsors research and educational programs, publishes reports, and maintains a website, www.understandingwar.org. The Institute for the Study of War offers courses, seminars, battlefield staff rides, and other educational programs. These programs provide an essential introduction to terms and concepts necessary to understanding military operations.
