Global Commons
In response to recent competitor attempts to deny, disrupt or destroy access to the global commons, which are shared spaces labeled in defense lexicon as outer space, international waters and airspace, and cyberspace, CCMR is developing the Global Commons Security seminar; see draft only MASL. This offering builds upon the CCMR sponsored 2010 Cooperation and Conflict in the Global Commons conference conducted in Virginia Beach, Virginia; see summary of proceedings. The academic foundation for the GCS seminar will be the CCMR produced textbook entitled Securing Freedom in the Global Commons by Stanford University Press.

International Defense Transformation

Our Focus:
The International Defense Transformation (IDT) Education program at CCMR explores ways to maintain advantage over security competitors. It is designed to help nations develop integrated capabilities to respond more effectively to national-level policy and defend their national interests, while contributing to collective security arrangements. The objectives, methods, topics and products of the IDT program can be found here.

What We Do:
IDT conducts an annual two week long course at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey for Global participants in the fall (during fifth quarter); see the Expanded International Military Education and Training (E-IMET) certified P171406 MASL and Course Matrix of Informative Presentations and Practical Exercise Sessions for the sixth offering.
