Join us as the NSF rings in the new year with a critical discussion about the National Security Strategy (Nov. 2025) with two of NSF’s most respected and experienced contributors, Keith Hansen and Rae Huffstutler.
The National Security Forum Board of Directors and staff wish you a prosperous, healthy, and informed 2026! We look forward to offering insightful and thoughtful discussions as the U.S. approaches its 250th anniversary.
Lt Col David C. Zesinger of the U.S. Space Force brings this high-stakes world into sharp focus. Drawing on his operational experience commanding satellite networks that link more than 200 critical spacecraft, and his current research at the U.S. Army War College, Zesinger will explore how the Space Force is building the capability to “secure our Nation’s interests in, from, and to space.”
The NSF invites members and their guests to participate in a two-day program in Las Vegas, October 29-30, 2025, featuring expert panels with DRI and MSTS scientists, a visit to the Atomic Museum, and an exclusive guided tour of the NNSS, looking at future technologies for nuclear weapons.
Dr. Nagl, General John J. Pershing Professor of Warfighting Studies at the U.S. Army War College, brings both combat experience and deep scholarship to this urgent conversation. In his recent presentations, Dr. Nagl has posed a sobering question: If it is 1938 again, and this time the Czechs are fighting back, what should we do to prepare? This forum will challenge us to grapple with that very question.
