“This book is important because it explains how to resource national security. The hard bureaucratic work necessary to implement national security and defense policy is not glamorous, but it is essential. This collection of essays is unique in its clarity and comprehensiveness. Resourcing the National Security Enterprise is a must-read for practitioners and students in the areas of strategic studies and public policy." —Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster, US Army (ret.), 26th assistant to the president for National Security Affairs, and author of Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World
"As we consider the national security implications of competition with China and other major powers, Resourcing the National Security Enterprise uniquely fills a gap in the basic education of national security practitioners. While budget and fiscal policy processes are chaotic, this volume mitigates the risk of mishaps, omissions, and inefficiencies the country can no longer afford in the current domestic and geopolitical environment. For its encouragement to consider national security-prosperity paradigm changes, its ah-ha insights regarding process, the innovative ideas that would create synergy inside and among institutions, and its deep dive into the what-for and how of defense resourcing, this book should be required reading for all those embarking on a career in national security." —Brigadier General Kim Field, US Army (ret.), Director For Strategy and Policy, US Special Operations Command
"Those charged with allocating always-limited resources among national security needs will find this a valuable introduction to the American process and its constitutional underpinnings. Even experienced hands will find new insights and be refreshed by the authors’ broad concept of security, a product of their study and service to our nation." —David Chu, former president, Institute for Defense Analyses, and former Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness
