THE KEYSTONE THEORY

What is the Keystone Theory?

Keystone Strategies views U.S. national security as an arch, an architectural structure with building blocks founded at two bases with upward curvature.

The quality of these blocks is what makes the U.S. military the strongest and most lethal force in the world, and can include legacy weapon systems, next-generation capabilities, military presence around the globe, strength of acquisition and sustainment, and other critical components. At the top of the arch is the keystone – the single building block that locks all the pieces in place and maximizes the structure’s strength.

In this arch, the keystone is our Nation’s service members, veterans, and their families, and the quality with which our society cares for them. Without the keystone, the arch is weakened at best, and crumbles at its worst – so caring for our military and veteran communities is vital to national security.

This is the Keystone Theory.
