NSP Pillars
The Plan rests on the three major pillars of education, training, and professional experience.
1. Education: focuses on enhancing capacity for critical and innovative thinking, and understanding of authorities, risks, responsibilities, and tools to perform current or future national security mission successfully.
2. Training: focuses on developing knowledge, skills, abilities and experiences necessary to carry out national security responsibilities while enhancing interagency communication, interoperability, and coordinated action.
3. Professional Experience: focuses on the identification and expansion of opportunities for NSPs to participate in wide-ranging, cross-cutting professional experiences that provide the hands-on, real-life experience.
