The Naval War College’s primary mission is to prepare operational and strategic leaders to meet national security challenges and to shape the global maritime order. Located in Newport, Rhode Island, the Naval War College has for over 125 years, hosted distinguished officers from every branch of the armed services, federal agencies and foreign countries. These officers learn how wars are fought, how conflicts are resolved and how, if possible, to prevent them. The close relationships among officers from around the world help us build and strengthen bridges that span cultures and beliefs.

The Naval War College Foundation raises awareness and funds for the Naval War College. The Foundation is dedicated to helping the College prepare future leaders and decision makers of our country and over 125 nations around the world so as to shape the global maritime order and promote the peaceful use of the world’s oceans.
