We are here to serve as the trusted institute for research, education, networking and engagement within the Defense and Security Community. The US defense and security landscape is increasingly complex. Rapid technological change, challenges in all operating domains, and a weakened state of readiness pose continued threats to America’s national security. The need for the US military, government, federal law enforcement agencies, academia, emergency service personnel and policymakers, to remain engaged, to shape the security environment and to preserve our network of alliances, is ever-present. The IDGA are committed to helping our members and partners navigate this landscape, keep up to date emerging risks and build vital relationships that allow our nation and our forces to remain resilient, adapt and mitigate against modern threats.
