The American Security Project (ASP) is a Washington D.C.-based think tank focused on issues concerning U.S. national security, including maritime security, climate security, energy security, US-Russia relations, public diplomacy, asymmetric operations, and US-China strategic competition.

Founded in 2006 by John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, its stated mission is to "forge a bipartisan consensus on a new national security strategy that will restore America’s leadership and ensure our security" and "raise the American public’s understanding of critical national security issues through direct engagement and dialogue."^[1][2][3]
