The National Defense University was established by the Department of
Defense on January 16, 1976, thereby merging the Industrial College of
the Armed Forces and the National War College to form a university.
Because the two senior service colleges are located at Fort McNair,
Washington, DC, their close affiliation reduces administrative costs,
provides for the sharing of faculty expertise and educational resources,
and promotes a constructive dialog, which benefits both colleges. On
August 16, 1981, the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk, VA, an
institution educating mid-career officers, was incorporated into the
National Defense University.
The Institute for National Strategic Studies was created in 1984 as
an interdisciplinary research institute staffed by senior civilian and
military analysts from all four military services. In 1990, the
Information Resources Management College was established to provide
graduate-level courses in information resources management. The two most
recent additions to the University's structure are the Center for
Hemispheric Defense Studies (1997) and the Defense Leadership and
Management Program (1998).
The mission of the National Defense University is to ensure
excellence in joint professional military education and research in the
essential elements of national security.

but contribute to the growth and excellence of the field itself. The
premier offering of the college is the 14-week Advanced Management
Program (AMP), which is supplemented by a number of advanced studies
courses available to students in all colleges of the National Defense
University. Additionally, the College offers a series of intensive
courses related to specific problematic areas and emerging concepts of
IRM, and special symposia, seminars, and workshops focusing on critical
