A key challenge for the US in the next 20 years is to dramatically improve the recruiting and intellectual education of our Combat Arms (CA), Special Operations Forces (SOF), and Intelligence Community (IC) operators. Mankins Research is in the business of power. Situated at the nexus of Higher Education and National Security, we conduct research in the areas of recruiting, training, and higher education for CA, SOF, & the IC. We are committed to dramatically improving the capacity of those entering the various operator pipelines before they enlist, receive a commission, or join an agency. As an IRS 501(c)(3) Nonprofit dedicated to research and education, Mankins Research holds summer camps and various seminars to provide superior education, training, and mentoring to high school students aspiring to join CA, SOF, and the IC.
