About Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA)

CSBA is an independent policy research institute established to develop innovative, resource-informed defense concepts; set the terms of debate for the future of national defense; and spur action to advance U.S. and allied interests in an era characterized by great power competition and conflict. CSBA provides timely, impartial, and insightful analyses to senior decision makers in the executive and legislative branches, the media, and the broader national security establishment. CSBA encourages thoughtful participation in the development of national security strategy and policy, and in the allocation of scarce human and capital resources. For over three decades, CSBA has provided a consistent stream of high-quality, innovative research on defense strategy, budgets, and the security environment. From examining revolutions in military affairs to identifying how the United States should adapt its armed forces to meet emerging challenges, CSBA has been on the cutting edge of the nation’s most critical defense policy debates.
