Your Investment will Change the Future of Our Country and the World

Your contributions will help lay the foundation for an innovative policy center uniquely positioned to lead the security reform that our country so desperately needs now and for the future.  We recognize the reality of partisan politics and its entrenchment in Washington.  No one knows better than Robert M. Gates.  With his leadership, the Center and Forum will deliver creative solutions that work for both sides of the aisle.  As a supporter, your tax-deductible contribution will inspire others to invest in objective and innovative solutions for our national security.

There have been U.S. successes in the international arena during the past quarter century, but the overall trend for us in the global arena has been negative, despite our braggadocio. To deal with the diverse challenges America faces, American must lead. But to lead, to achieve its purposes and goals, it must strengthen all the instruments of power and apply them with great wisdom. We must use the American symphony of power to ensure authoritarianism, twice defeated in the twentieth century, does not prevail in the twenty-first.
— Robert M. Gates, Exercise of Power, 2020
