Global Markets Demand Security
“Authoritarian leadership wants to dominate the world… putting us in a defensive posture to protect what we hold near and dear.”
George Lang, President & CEO
You follow macro trends. You know that geopolitical instability disrupts markets and threatens freedom. But the federal budget is rigid,—unable to pivot quickly against emerging threats like AI, cyber warfare, and Great Power Competition.
As a top-rated military education non-profit, the Naval War College Foundation exists to fund the “Margin of Excellence”, giving national security leaders the intellectual edge to out-think adversaries and safeguard global security.
