This program aims to gather the next cadre of leading strategic scholars and practitioners and has been credited with establishing "the schoolhouse for developing strategic thinking about the future of war.” 

​

Every year, the NSSPP gathers 25-30 individuals in the mid-stage of their careers for a one-week workshop on the character of contemporary warfare, with a particular view to examining implications for American strategy, force structure, and crisis decision-making.
