Powering Americas Defense: /reports/2009/powering-americas-defense; To better inform U.S. policymakers and the pub- lic about the impact of America’s energy choices on national security policies, CNA, a nonproﬁt research organization that runs the Center for Naval Analyses and the Institute for Public Re- search, convened a panel of retired senior mili- tary ofﬁcers and national security experts. The Military Advisory Board consists of retired generals and admirals from all four services, many of whom served on the Military Advisory Board that produced the 2007 report, National Security and the Threat of Climate Change. That report found that “climate change, national se- curity, and energy dependence are a related set of global challenges.” This new volume builds on that ﬁnding by con- sidering the security risks inherent in America’s current energy posture, energy choices the nation can make to enhance our national security, the impact of climate change on our energy choices and our national security, and the role DoD can play in the nation’s approach to energy security. These issues were viewed through the lens of the extensive military experience of the Military Ad- visory Board. The issues were considered solely for their impact on America’s national security.; National Intelligence Assessment conﬁrmed the report ﬁnding that cli- mate change is a serious threat to national security and long-term global stability.

Preparing for Tomorrows Threats Overcoming Obstacles: /reports/2021/10/preparing-for-tomorrows-threats-overcoming-obstacles; Preparing for future threats is a vital concern for US strategists. Innovation is one way to confront the threats we may face in the future, but achieving innovation presents organizational, cultural, decisionmaking, and technological challenges. To help strategists and policy-makers navigate these obstacles, CNA’s National Security Seminar (NSS) convened three experts to share their perspectives from their service at different offices within the Pentagon: General James T. Conway (US Marine Corps, ret.), the 34th Commandant of the Marine Corps; Dr. Jamie M. Morin, former Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) at the Department of Defense; and Dr. Francis G. Hoffman, Distinguished Research Fellow at National Defense University, who was instrumental in authoring the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS). The discussion, moderated by CNA’s Dr. Carter Malkasian, was divided into two parts: the first identified obstacles to innovation, and the second looked at how to overcome those obstacles.
