Achieving national security reform will take strong leadership. The Project on National Security Reform (PNSR) takes great pride in the quality of its number one asset, its people.

 

The Project is led by James R. Locher III, a principal architect of the Goldwater-Nichols Act that modernized the joint military system.

 

The Project’s Guiding Coalition, a group of distinguished Americans with extensive service in the public and private sectors, sets strategic direction for the Project. These individuals ensure a comprehensive bipartisan view of major issues and will help communicate the ultimate findings and proposals of the Project to national-level constituencies and the general public.

 

The Project’s staff also includes notable figures with a wealth of experience, many of which have held prominent positions across the government and in the private sector.

 

In addition to its Guiding Coalition and the staff, the Project collaborates with a network of over 300 national security experts from an array of think tanks, universities, and companies, including private intellectuals, current and former practitioners, former national leaders, military officers, and government personnel.
