The U.S. Global Leadership Coalition’s National Security Advisory Council (NSAC) includes more than 250 retired three- and four-star generals and admirals, representing five branches of the Armed Forces, united in support of advancing America’s national security by strengthening all the tools of national security — diplomacy and development, alongside a strong defense. NSAC was founded by Admiral Leighton Smith, USN (Ret.) and General Anthony Zinni, USMC (Ret.) in March of 2008.
Co-chaired by Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret.) and General Anthony Zinni, USMC (Ret.), NSAC members are active and trusted voices in engaging Congress, the media, and state and community leaders on the need for a “smart power” approach to combat today’s global threats with adequate resources for the International Affairs Budget. |
