The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is the U.S. Army’s institute for geostrategic and national security research and analysis.  The Strategic Studies Institute conducts strategic research and analysis to support the U.S. Army War College curricula, provides direct analysis for Army and Department of Defense leadership and serves as a bridge to the wider strategic communication. 

SSI hosts events and roundtables each year which support the Institute’s Strategic Engagement Programs.  Foundation funding helps SSI research, publish, and share its studies in a broad number of areas impacting national security and strategy issues.

SSI is composed of civilian research professors, uniformed military officers, and a professional support staff, all with extensive credentials and experience. In addition to its organic resources, SSI has a web of partnerships with strategic analysts around the world, including the foremost thinkers in the field of security and military strategy. SSI co-sponsors academic conferences to examine issues of importance to the Army, collaborating with some of the most prestigious think-tanks and universities in the country and abroad.
