The National Defense University was established by the Department of 
Defense on January 16, 1976, thereby merging the Industrial College of 
the Armed Forces and the National War College to form a university. 
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.
