The view that the NSC had been created to coordinate political and military questions quickly gave way to the understanding that the NSC existed to serve the President alone.

President Eisenhower's predilection for the military staff system, however, led to development of the NSC along those lines.

He replaced a number of senior NSC staff members and reorganized his office to create three " clusters " to deal with political, military, and intelligence matters.

TRG utilizes state-of-the-art technology as well as traditional public relations tools, assisting leading commercial, government and military organizations .” In a 1998 speech to the National Security Conference ( NSC ), company founder John Rendon described himself as " an information warrior, and a perception manager.

Based on extensive experience with nuclear strategy and targeting from his terms as Chief of Staff of the United States Army and NATO Supreme Allied Commander, the Eisenhower administration's NSC 162 / 2 of October 1953 chose a less expensive, defensive-oriented direction for the military that emphasized " massive retaliation ", still primarily delivered by USAF, to deter war.

While the president and other civilian and military leaders doubted the morality or legality of preventive war, preemptive war was much less problematic given that NSC 5410 / 1 of March 1954 acknowledged that " the survival of the United States " was at risk.

Schulte served as Senior Director for Southeast European Affairs on the NSC staff from 2000 to 2002, overseeing U. S. diplomacy and military deployments in Bosnia and Kosovo and collaboration with the United Nations and European Union.

Much interdepartmental planning on the NSC books was never completed by the end of the Truman administration.

The genesis of the new NSC system was a report prepared for the President in March 1953 by Robert Cutler, who became the President's Special Assistant for National Security Affairs.

Hundreds of hours were spent by the Board reviewing and reconstructing proposed papers for the NSC.

The top of the foreign policy-making hill was the NSC itself, chaired by the President, which met regularly on Thursday mornings.
