Ally and Partner Security Affairs Program
CNA’s Ally and Partner Security Affairs program strengthens US warfighting readiness and advances mutual security objectives through analyses of foreign government strategies, operations, and capabilities. Our team integrates language-capable regional specialists, expertise on foreign military systems, and functional assessments on issues such as security cooperation. Military and intelligence planners commonly know more about adversaries than they do about friends and third parties. We bridge that gap.
