“I think the great value of the Institute for the Study of War is that it really takes the perspective of the battlefield fighters in Afghanistan and Iraq and brings it to Washington for policymakers, and it puts it all together in a way that even the troops on the ground themselves are not always able to do because they’re really focused on the fight in front of them. And that’s something that ISW is able to do incredibly effectively – to translate what’s [happening] on the battlefield into big-picture thinking that could influence the public and the policy community in Washington.”
