NSC Memo for President Trump
I know that it is long but please read it carefully. You may write as much as you want but keep in mind that the longer you go, the more likely that the president’s patience will wear thin. You do not have to talk about everything. Prioritize what you think is important and either brush aside or ignore those things that you think do not require attending to.You do not have to cite references but, please, do not let us catch you citing “alternative facts” – stick to easily verified information. You may of course decide to cite references, either in notes or in a bibliography.Finally, I have outlined what are usually seen as the nation’s top security priorities. I would start by thinking about how you would prioritize those, think about the implications for force structure and geographic allocation (whether soldiers, aircraft, or ships) of resources, and possibly what those priorities might mean for the allocation of budgetary resources.We will be grading your memos on the basis of the quality of analysis: both of specific security threats and – just as important – the connections you make between those priorities and force structure, on the one hand, and “grand” strategy, on the other. You may advocate a course of action that the president is not likely to agree with. Grades will be implemented independent of the president’s positions. However, you should not expect appointment to the NSC should you deviate too far from the president’s strategic vision.
