Summer 2017 Internship at the National Defense University

Office Description: The Center for Applied Strategic Learning (CASL) at the National Defense University (NDU) designs national security exercises, simulations, and wargames in support of the university’s core academic mission. CASL’s mission is to enhance the strategic decision making and critical thinking capabilities of military and civilian leaders from the United States and other countries through strategic-level exercises that represent the complexity of the security environment. CASL exercises challenge participants to address complex problems at a strategic level in a “not for attribution” academic setting. Previous exercises have focused on pressing national security issues such as deterrence, failed states, nuclear proliferation, energy security, stabilization and reconstruction, homeland defense, pandemic disease, and regional security challenges.

Intern Duties: Interns at CASL conduct research on national security issues using a full range of unclassified sources. Interns will work under the supervision of exercise designers and facilitators to research topics, draft scenario documents, and participate in the design and development process for exercises and wargames. Interns also have the opportunity to support the execution of CASL exercises and participate in professional development opportunities at CASL and NDU. Interns with the appropriate skill sets may be involved in the production of audio/visual assets, GIS products, and other supporting materials. The National Defense University offers an excellent opportunity for interns to gain practical experience in public policy, U.S. policy discussions, decision-making processes, and gain insight into the executive and legislative branches of government.
