The exercise simulates an ongoing inter-agency debate about national security policy in a radically changed and evolving global environment. Through this program, the students have an opportunity to analyze global developments and apply their executive skills in analysis, problem-solving, consideration of strategic implications, management of information sources, and consensus decision making.

This semester lays the theoretical, historical, and conceptual groundwork for examination of the use of national resources in the second semester. The student is introduced to the complexities of developing and implementing a national strategy and to the process by which this strategy is made. The focus is on the global dimensions of U.S. national strategy and exploration of all its components political, diplomatic, economic, military, and informational. The objective overall is for the student to think strategically and to be able to understand, consider, and use the nation's resources in the solution of international issues this nation will face in the future. In addition, the student is introduced to the underlying principles, structure, and process used in formulating national security strategy and gains an understanding of the international system and the U.S. role and influence within that system.

Resourcing National Strategy

The spring semester concentrates on questions related to national resource management--the primary mission of the College. The curriculum emphasizes issues associated with the capability of a nation to support its aims with a proper balance among the social, economic, and political needs of its people. It strives to achieve a proper balance between butter and guns. The program of studies and research provides students with an awareness of the interdependence of economics, acquisition, logistics, and mobilization in various industrial sectors that support the nation in both peace and conflict. The students examine current policies and trends affecting the nation's ability to provide its resources for the national security of the United States, and evaluate alternative policies that may enhance the robustness and responsiveness of the nation's industrial and logistical bases. The spring semester is organized in three phases: the generation of resources; their acquisition and allocation; and their application. Courses are organized in an interdisciplinary format combining theory and practice in both the private sector and the Department of Defense. Semester objectives are achieved through the academic disciplines War Studies, Resourcing Grand Strategy, Acquisition, Economics, and Industry Studies. An additional course?Leadership, Transformation and Information Strategies--introduces the students to the application of these systems in leadership positions and explores their impact on both the organization and individual employees.
