Center for a New American Security

Since its founding, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) has lead efforts to help prepare and foster the next generation of national security and defense leaders.

The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) is proud to announce the establishment of the Joseph S. Nye, Jr. National Security Internship and Mentoring Program for upand-coming practitioners and would-be policy makers. Dr. Nye has devoted his career to the preparation and mentoring of generations of American and, indeed, global strategists to confront international security challenges the world over.

The Military Fellows program at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) was launched in the Center's founding year. Representatives from the United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force come to CNAS to publish on a wide range of topics and contribute to the Center's policy work.

Over the past year and a half the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) has hosted several accomplished journalists currently writing books in the field of foreign policy and national security. The program has quickly become one of the most prestigious and substantive of its kind anywhere in the United States.

The First Lieutenant Andrew J. Bacevich, Jr., USA Fellowship was established in June 2007 at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS). The Bacevich Fellowship is in honor and memory of 1LT Andrew J. Bacevich, USA from Walpole, Massachusetts who died on May 13, 2007 from wounds suffered during combat patrol operations in Salah Ad Din Province as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
