Essays on Strategy XV

Abstract

The National Defense University (NDU) has conducted the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Strategy Essay Competition since 1982. Through this competition students at professional military education institutions are challenged to write original essays about significant aspects of national security strategy. The competition rewards the best contributions with prizes presented through the generosity of the NDU Foundation together with the opportunity for subsequent publication by NDU Press. Essays by students enrolled in either senior or intermediate service colleges as well as in the constituent colleges of NDU (the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, National War College, and Armed Forces Staff College) are eligible. Essays must be the author's own work and be completed during the academic year. Intermediate college entries are submitted through the respective senior college and count as part of that college's quota. Competitors may write on any dimension of national security strategy--the political, economic, industrial, psychological, and military instruments of national power as used in war and peace to achieve strategic objectives. Essays with a joint emphasis, including historical contributions, are encouraged.
