About the Program

RCNSC is the premier, executive level, Department of Defense two-week seminar, held three times a year at the National Defense University.

Background

The future operating environment requires leaders have the capacity to operate at the Strategic level, in addition to the Operational and Tactical levels. In order to do so, our leaders must have the training, education, and experience to meet those demands.  RCNSC is the venue where services can continue to provide strategic level education to Reserve and National Guard leaders.
