Graduate Program Offers Advanced Tools for Terror War Fight

A one-of-a-kind curriculum offered here at the Naval Postgraduate School is helping shape future leaders for the challenges they will confront in the war on terror.

Unlike some academic programs with seemingly little real-life application, the Defense Analysis program focuses on issues commanders in all four services deal with daily as they work to counter the terrorist threat.

"It's allowed us, in very measurable ways, to contribute to national security," said Gordon McCormick, chair of the Defense Analysis Department, who helped create the master's-degree-level program.

Program graduates are actively applying the lessons learned supporting the war on terror, he noted. "Our graduates are all over the front line. You can't go to Afghanistan or Iraq without running into them," McCormick said.
