RESOURCES AND FORCE READINESS DIVISION

CNA’s Resources and Force Readiness Division provides insightful, data-driven analysis for critical resource allocation problems facing the Navy, Marine Corps, and other Department of Defense components and agencies. Our study teams use a wide range of state-of-the-art quantitative and qualitative methods and vast data repositories to help military and civilian leaders make critical decisions on human  resources, population health, infrastructure, environment, energy, and budget-related challenges.

About 70 percent of our  researchers hold PhDs—in economics, operations research, data science, public health, statistics, psychology, and mathematics.
