The Project on National Security Reform (PNSR ) was a nonpartisan non-profit organization mandated by the United States Congress to recommend improvements to the U.S. national security system.[1] National Security Council , the Department of Defense , the Department of State , the Central Intelligence Agency , among others, were largely designed via the National Security Act of 1947 in order to combat the Soviet Union . Today's global security environment, largely due to globalization , is much more complex than it was during the Cold War . PNSR argues that government structures need to be more agile and efficient in order to combat new threats such as terrorism , transnational crime , and rogue states .
PNSR issued their final report in December 2008 entitled "Forging a New Shield."[2] think tanks , universities, federal agencies, law firms and corporations contributed to the report.[3]
PNSR ended operations in 2012.

Recommendations [ edit ]
