APSI is a privately-held think-tank-and-training institute providing strategic insights and training solutions.
To mitigate government knowledge and training gaps to enhance and enable decisionmaker agility in pivoting to counter emerging threats affecting domestic and transnational policy and revolutions in military affairs (RMAs) through research, training, and media output. We will enable unique elements of the JIIM and SLTT enterprises to include the ability to leverage unique capabilities, contribute as integrated adaptive force packages, and to increase dominant output, maneuver, and support in complex maritime, air, land, space, cyber, informational, and cognitive domains and environments.
Drive urgency and pace of concept for doctrine and tactics development into advanced training to provide the world's premier defense and security forces the capabilities needed to outthink and outfight any threat or adversary, foreign or domestic, throughout the spectrum of conflict ranging from competition below the threshold of armed conflict up to major combat operations.
Empower decision makers at leaders at all levels of government and within the Institute to operate at their maximum potential. We must help each client adapt their processes and ensure their tactics, tools, policies, and procedures prepare their forces for the full range of strategic competition through all elements and lenses of DIMEFIL from competition below the threshold to the potentiality of violent conflict.
