The Center for Strategic Deterrence and Weapons of Mass Destruction Studies Act of 2025

This bill amends title 10, United States Code, to establish a new entity within the National Defense University. It creates the Center for Strategic Deterrence and Weapons of Mass Destruction Studies within the Institute for National Strategic Studies. The Center's mission is to prepare national security leaders to address challenges related to strategic deterrence and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) through education, research, and outreach activities. It will develop curricula for joint professional military education, serve as the primary Department of Defense institution for WMD education, and conduct studies to enhance understanding of these threats. Additionally, the Center will provide expert support to the Secretary of Defense and other Federal Government leaders on strategic deterrence and WMD issues.
