Posted on SSI 18 Jul 07: USAWC 2007 Key Strategic Issues List
The purpose of the Key Strategic Issues List (KSIL) is to give researchers, whether military professionals or civilian scholars, a ready reference of those issues of particular interest to the Department of the Army and the Department of Defense. The focus of the KSIL is strategic, rather than operational or tactical. Every year, the KSIL helps guide research efforts to the mutual benefit of the defense community and individual researchers.
This year, our nation faces several major challenges, ranging in type from the conflict in Iraq to changes in force size and structure. These challenges are perhaps more significant than any the United States has faced in more than a decade.
With the publication of the 2007 KSIL, the Strategic Studies Institute and the U.S. Army War College invite all researchers to contribute their efforts to resolving these challenges.
Researchers are encouraged to contact any of the Strategic Studies Institute points of contact, or those found in the Expanded KSIL, for further information regarding their desired topics. These points of contact are not necessarily subject experts, but can recommend experts or additional
sponsors.
Steve maybe you can answer a question?
As an academic .. Is it worth my time to answer questions that ARE within my area of expertise and as a University Professor at a research University will they pony up $$$. Or, more likely they've already picked people in areas and these are their issues projected to be answered.

The list itself is just a compilation of things someone in the Army or the Joint community is interested in. The best venue for input would be our External Research Associates Program. We've commissioned projects from a wide number of people using that, including ones like Colin Gray and Martin van Creveld.
