Welcome to the NESA Center
The Near East South Asia (NESA) Center for Strategic Studies is a force multiplier for U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) security cooperation in support of U.S. national interests. The NESA Center delivers cost-efficient, multilateral and interministerial programs and activities that build and deliver key relationships, interoperability, and capacity-building that support four geographic Combatant Commands (and their offices of defense and security cooperation) as well as U.S. global strategic aims. Our programs strengthen deterrence in each theater by empowering and enabling our allies and partners to think, communicate, stand, and fight together as a lethal force.
Multilateral: Focused on building networks of practitioners throughout nearly every country in our designated region. In many cases, we are the United States’ primary and continuous mechanism for strategic-level engagement with senior decision-makers in ally and partner security forces.
Interministerial: We recognize that each nation has a unique structure of professionals responsible for sustainment of national security functions. Our programming is focused on sustaining long-term relationships with a network of key national security and defense experts.
Senior-level: Programming focuses on the senior executive levels of ministries and targets decision-makers within the national security sector.
