For over a decade, SSI has published the annual Key Strategic Issues List (KSIL) to inform students, faculty, and external research associates of strategic topics requiring research and analysis. Part I of the Academic Year (AY) 2014-15 KSIL, referred to as the Army Priorities for Strategic Analysis (APSA), has been developed by SSI in coordination with Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA). The APSA will help prioritize strategic research and analysis conducted by USAWC students and faculty, USAWC Fellows, and external researchers, to link their research efforts and results more effectively to the Army's highest priority topics.
