On March 3, 2021, the White House released an Interim
National Security Strategic Guidance (INSSG). This is the
first time an administration has issued interim guidance;
previous administrations refrained from issuing formal
guidance that articulatedstrategic intent until producing the
congressionally mandated National Security Strategy (NSS)
(originating in the Goldwater-Nichols Department of
Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 P.L. 99-433, §603/50
U.S.C §3043). The full NSS is likely to be released later in
2021 or early 2022.
