Deterrence for Industry Workshop
Contact us to schedule your workshop. This two-day workshop, with an optional one-day table-top exercise (a third day), is designed to provide industry participants with a broad understanding of the nuclear deterrence mission in support of talent retention and executive education. It serves as an opportunity for those unfamiliar with the nation’s nuclear deterrent to gain an overview of core elements and the threats facing the nation and help them understand and appreciate their own contribution to national security.
