INDOPACOM Initiative
Abstract
China Strategic Initiative (CSI): RDTEN funding supports critical classified research that directly advances the core mission and functionality of INDOPACOM's China Strategic Initiative (CSI - a DoD program of record). CSI informs senior U.S. Gov't / DoD policymakers with long-term & strategic insights into the People's Republic of China (PRC) actions/policies across the spectrum, including domestic/foreign policymaking, political thinking, military policies, economic policies, and many other areas. Part of CSI consists of a series of integrated analytical working groups comprised of experts from the U.S. Gov't (Policy, planning, and intelligence), Federally Funded Research and Development Corporations (FFRDCs), academia, and private industry. All INDOPACOM CSI efforts are overseen by a 25-member CSI Review Board (CRB) to ensure all CSI programs are integrated and not redundant. All program efforts are done under direction of OSD and the China Strategic Roundtable, supporting strategic competition with China, DoD's top priority for defense planning. CSI program is DoD/ PACOM's first Rebalance to Asia initiative issue nomination priority.
