Congratulations to the latest cohort of participants to attend the ISG Resident Course, SECURING THE STATE: BUILDING INSTITUTIONS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY!

This four-week resident course equips participants with the skills needed to utilize capabilities-based assessments to identify capability gaps in security and defense arenas. The course uses a mix of lecture, interactive small-group sessions, simulation exercises, and discussions with subject matter experts to explore how to prepare national security institutions to address national security threats. The course offers approaches to establish healthy civil-military relations and interagency coordination to ensure effective, whole-of-government responses to national security challenges.

In a recent engagement, The Institute for Security Governance certified 22 members of the Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Center (MECC) and Royal Thai Navy as “Maritime Information Analysts” in Bangkok, Thailand.

Certification followed three separate 10-day workshops involving instruction and tabletop exercises aligned to the MECC’s Maritime Domain Awareness-related missions.

Kudos to Dr. Thomas-Durrell Young, the Defense Security Cooperation University (DSCU) Senior Academic Analyst, on the publication of his most recent book published by Routledge.
