Institute for the Study of War
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) is a USA-based think tank founded in 2007 by Kimberly Kagan. ISW describes itself as a non-partisan think tank providing research and analysis regarding issues of defense and foreign affairs, but has been described by others as "a hawkish Washington" group〔http://swampland.time.com/2013/09/17/the-rise-and-fall-of-elizabeth-obagy/〕 favoring an "aggressive foreign policy".〔(Civilian analysts gained Petraeus’s ear while he was commander in Afghanistan ), By Rajiv Chandrasekaran, The Washington Post, December 19, 2012〕 Though it had produced reports on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, "focusing on military operations, enemy threats, and political trends in diverse conflict zones", it first gained widespread public attention in the aftermath of the Elizabeth O'Bagy scandal in which it was involved. The non-profit organization is supported by grants and contributions from large defense contractors,〔 including Raytheon, General Dynamics, DynCorp and others.〔http://www.understandingwar.org/our-supporters〕 It is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
==Political stance and influence==
The Institute for the Study of War and its President, Kimberly Kagan, were some of the first and strongest supporters of the controversial 'surge' strategy in Iraq. On May 25, 2010 Kagan participated in a briefing on Capitol Hill focusing on Iraq's political crisis that included remarks from Iraq's Ambassador Samir Sumaidaie and Kenneth Pollack, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. Kagan also participated in a Brookings Institution event entitled "Prospects for Afghanistan's Future: Assessing the Outcome of the Afghan Presidential Election" alongside Michael O'Hanlon. Kagan also helped produce the documentary (The Surge: the Untold Story ) with ISW Chairman, U.S Army General Jack Keane (ret.) and LTG James Dubik (ret.) describing the battle of Iraq and how the United States won the war.
ISW President Kagan has conducted eight battlefield circulations of Iraq since starting ISW for the MNF-I Commanding General, three of which were in Afghanistan for CENTCOM United States Central Command and ISAF International Security Assistance Force. She participated formally on the Joint Campaign Plan Assessment Team for Multi-National Force – Iraq U.S. Mission – Iraq in October 2008, and as part of the Civilian Advisory Team for the CENTCOM strategic review in January 2009. Kagan served in Kabul as a member of General Stanley McChrystal's strategic assessment team, composed of civilian experts, during his strategic review in June and July 2009. She returned to Afghanistan in the summer of 2010 to assist General David Petraeus with key transition tasks following his assumption of command in Afghanistan. Kagan also serves on the Academic Advisory Board at the Afghanistan- Pakistan Center of Excellence at CENTCOM.
