Defense thinking
for a new era.

The Defense Analyses and Research Corporation

We live in an era where the most fundamental assumptions of warfare and foreign affairs that have defined the recent decades of US statecraft are rapidly and obviously disintegrating.

But, strategy remains shackled by a narrow, insular universe of DC "think tank intellectuals", resistant to change, captured by incumbent interests, and jealous of their status. This ecosystem undermines American power and must be replaced.

DARC is a new kind of defense think tank, dedicated to fostering courageous, iconoclastic work that will guide America in the new world being born.
