National Assessment Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Assessment Group (NAG) operates as an entity within the United States Department of Defense. Its primary role involves offering engineering, technical, and assessment assistance to both the Department of Defense (DoD) and other governmental bodies.[1] NAG's clientele encompasses various entities such as the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Combatant Commands (CCMDs), Joint organizations, individual Services, and additional federal government agencies.

NAG's primary function is to deliver impartial assessment services to support time-sensitive programmatic decisions. These assessments span a wide array of domains and systems. Each assessment is meticulously customized to align with the unique requirements of the respective clients. NAG frequently conducts rapid, independent evaluations to explore, showcase, and gauge the capabilities, technical attributes, potential threats, and vulnerabilities of systems.[2]

The scope of systems under assessment by NAG is extensive, encompassing those in early developmental stages to those poised for operational deployment. The National Assessment Group operates out of Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico.
