Because the two senior service colleges are located at Fort McNair, Washington, DC, their close affiliation reduces administrative costs, provides for the sharing of faculty expertise and educational resources, and promotes a constructive dialog, which benefits both colleges. On August 16, 1981, the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk, VA, an institution educating mid-career officers, was incorporated into the National Defense University. The Institute for National Strategic Studies was created in 1984 as an interdisciplinary research institute staffed by senior civilian and military analysts from all four military services. In 1990, the Information Resources Management College was established to provide graduate-level courses in information resources management. The mission of the National Defense University is to ensure excellence in joint professional military education and research in the essential elements of national security.
