Executive Mosaic is proud to unveil Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy, as the latest inductee into the Wash100, the premier group of leaders who drive growth and innovation at the intersection of the public and private sectors.

In addition to his leadership role at the Center for Security Policy, Gaffney is a columnist for The Washington Times and host of the nationally syndicated program Secure Freedom Radio where he “addresses current and emerging threats to national security, sovereignty and our ways of life.”

Earlier in his career, Gaffney served as assistant secretary of defense for international security policy and later served as professional staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

He writes on a number of topics relating to U.S. national security including the service branches, Islamist extremism and the intelligence community.

“History demonstrates that previous military drawdowns invited aggression by our enemies. After World War I, America drew down forces until the U.S. Army had fewer than 100,000 men in uniform. That weakness invited Nazi aggression in Europe and the imperial Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor,” he said.

“The object of China’s strategy is inexorably to supplant the United States as the world’s premier economic power, and if necessary, to defeat us militarily,” said Gaffney.

Gaffney is a recipient of the Department of Defense Distinguished Public Service Award.

Executive Mosaic extends its congratulations to Gaffney and the rest of the Center for Security Policy organization.
