Based at the US Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey CA, the Center for Civil-Military Relations (CCMR) was originally established in
1994 to assist newly emerging democracies in addressing the civil-military challenges of the post-Cold War world. In the nearly two decades since its founding, CCMR has evolved to partner with a much broader range of regions and countries. Within the contemporary security environment, CCMR enables current US policies and strategies by offering a full spectrum of programs.
