Project on National Security Reform

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Project on National Security Reform, also called "PNSR," is a non-partisan project designed to research the U.S. national security interagency system and make recommendations for improvement.

The mission of PNSR is described as follows:

From 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, complex and rapid-paced contemporary contingencies demand more effective and timely integration of national capabilities. To achieve this integration, the United States Government requires comprehensive reform of the regulatory, statutory, and Congressional oversight authorities that govern the interagency system. The Project on National Security Reform, drawing upon lessons from the processes that led to the Goldwater-Nichols DOD Reorganization Act of 1986, will advance such reform through a detailed study of our interagency system and proposed revisions to the National Security Act of 1947 (PDF). PNSR seeks to work in close partnership with Congress, the Executive Branch, nonprofit public policy organizations, universities, industry, and private foundations.[1]
