Andrew W. Marshall (born September 13, 1921) was the director of the United States Department of Defense's Office of Net Assessment from 1973 to 2015. Appointed to the position by United States President Richard Nixon, Marshall was re-appointed by every president that followed until his retirement on January 2, 2015. ==Biography== Raised in Detroit, Marshall earned a master's degree in economics from the University of Chicago in 1949. His master's thesis was a sensitivity analysis of Lawrence Klein's econometric model of the US economy; although influential for its methodology, it has never been published except for a short abstract. Following graduation, Marshall joined the RAND Corporation, the original "think tank," in 1949. During the 1950s and '60s Marshall was a member of "a cadre of strategic thinkers" that coalesced at the RAND Corporation, a group that included Daniel Ellsberg, Herman Kahn, and James Schlesinger. While at RAND he also worked with Herman Kahn on developing and advancing Monte Carlo methods. One of his other colleagues, Schlesinger later became the U.S. Secretary of Defense, and oversaw the creation of the Office of Net Assessment. The original main task of the office was to provide strategic evaluations on nuclear war issues. James Roche, Secretary of the Air Force in the administration of George W. Bush, worked for Marshall during the 1970s.〔Lehman, Nicholas. "Dreaming About War." ''The New Yorker,'' July 16, 2001.〕 Andrew Marshall was consulted for the 1992 draft of Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), created by then-Defense Department staffers I. Lewis Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, and Zalmay Khalilzad. Marshall has been noted for fostering talent in younger associates, who then proceed to influential positions in and out of the federal government: "a slew of Marshall's former staffers have gone on to industry, academia and military think tanks."〔Silverstein, Ken. "The Man from ONA." ''The Nation,'' October 25, 1999.〕 Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz, among others, have been cited as Marshall "star protégés." In an interview in 2012 the main author of four of the Chinese defence white papers General Chen Zhou stated that Marshall was one of the most important and influential figures in changing Chinese defence thinking in the 1990s and 2000s. ''Foreign Policy'' named Marshall one of its 2012 Top 100 Global Thinkers, "for thinking way, way outside the Pentagon box". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrew Marshall (foreign policy strategist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
