National Security Seminar (NSS)

The Department of National Security and Strategy develops and conducts instruction focused on national security and national military strategy.  It draws on the academic disciplines of international relations, politics, economics, regional studies, history, and national and international security studies to prepare students for senior positions in the national security establishment.

Army War College Foundation supports the National Security Seminar by underwriting the guest speakers and offsets costs for students, guests, and faculty who participate in this yearly event.  The annual National Security Seminar occurs during the first full week of June, immediately preceding graduation, and serves as the capstone event of the academic year.  This event provides a forum in which distinguished speakers may discuss their views on issues of importance to the nation's security and welfare with the students, International Fellows, and faculty of the Army War College and invited guests from across the country.  It provides an extended opportunity for a free and candid dialogue on these issues among the College students, faculty and invited guests.  And finally, it enables representative American citizens to get to know some of the prospective leaders of the American Armed forces and government and, in turn, permits the students to better understand the society they serve.

Army Physical Fitness Research Institute (APFRI)

In 1982, the Surgeon General of the U.S. Army directed the establishment of the Army Physical Fitness Research Institute (APFRI) on the grounds of the USAWC in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
