MISSION AND MANDATE
About CSA and Its Mission
The Council for a Secure America (CSA) is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening United States national security through education, research, and strategic analysis. CSA operates at the intersection of American energy security, natural resources, enduring alliances, and the evolving global geopolitical landscape.
Founded in the 1980s by leaders in the American energy sector and the Jewish community, CSA was established on the premise that domestic strength underpins foreign policy. For decades, U.S. strategic decision-making was constrained by reliance on foreign energy and exposure to instability in critical regions. Advances in American energy production altered that reality, reshaping U.S. leverage abroad, strengthening alliances, and reducing vulnerability to external pressure. From its earliest work, CSA focused on demonstrating how energy security, national security, and foreign policy are inseparable. As the strategic environment has evolved, so has CSA’s mission. Energy security remains central, but it now operates alongside other critical pillars of national resilience, including access to minerals, agricultural capacity, and secure supply chains. Together, these natural resources shape economic stability, alliance cohesion, and strategic competition. CSA’s work is informed by a Peace Through Prosperity doctrine, which holds that shared material strength and economic resilience are foundational to long-term security and stability.
Today, CSA deepens public understanding of how these forces interact in practice. Through national briefings, public-opinion polling, research initiatives, and rapid-response analysis, CSA provides policymakers, industry leaders, and civic institutions with timely, responsible insight during moments of geopolitical uncertainty. This work includes continuously updated, open-source conflict reporting, along with primers and emergency briefings developed in response to fast-moving global events. These resources are used across Congress, state governments, industry forums, and community institutions nationwide.
CSA is not an advocacy organization. It does not promote political outcomes or policy prescriptions. Its role is educational, providing clarity and strategic context at moments when informed decision-making matters most.
