Strategy Analysis Project

In this edition of the Strategy analysis project Allison analyzed a government strategy document throughout the course.  She then prepared a one-page memo that summarizes the document (Information Memo). Allison then evaluated the strategy based on course material covered to that point (Action Memo). Finally, she drafted a memo that prepares a principal to attend a National Security Council meeting related to the strategy (Talking Points Memo).
