“The activities of the corporation shall include the nonpartisan, community based mission of educating and informing the public and decision makers on the importance of a valid nuclear triad and strategic weapons.”

“In 2013 the strategic deterrent coalition was created. The charter, by- laws, vision and mission were adopted. Incorporated in the state of new mexico, a website was created and tax exempt approval was sought from the irs. A position statement was crafted that has been endorsed by many people across the country including retired military senior leaders, former senior government officials, former senators and congressmen. Additional endorsers have been from industry, law, academia, and clergy. Approval was received in 2014 as a 501 (c) 3, public charity. The board was expanded to include david weissman, leader of the montana defense alliance, bruce christianson and mark jantzer, leaders of minot task force 21, and sheila mcneil, former national president of the navy league. Officers were realigned to include sherman mccorkle, chairman; joe scallorns, president, bruce christianson, secretary; and murray viser, treasurer. Additional officers elected were david weissman, vice president-marketing, and mark jantzer, vice president-advancement. In 2014 a business plan was adopted that led to the planning of a major national symposium that will be held on may 4-6, 2015. The symposium will be held on the campus of the university of central missouri, warrensburg, mo. It will feature speakers representing united states strategic command, commanders of air force and navy nuclear forces, and the head of the us nuclear weapons agency. Senior military leaders from united kingdom and far eastern allies will be participating as well as academic experts from across the country. Additionally, the strategic deterrent coalition is assembling a small group of deterrent strategy experts to serve as a board of regents. This group will have no governance responsibilities for the organization, but will exchange ideas and perspectives on the subject matter of strategic deterrence. They will advise the sdc board on best ways to educate decision makers and the general public on strategic deterrence. They will participate in the national dialogue on strategic deterrence through study reports, speeches, and essays. After the conclusion of the symposium, the sdc will embark in a nation-wide drive to secure the financial resources to continue and expand its work. It is envisioned that we will become a national resource of information and perspective about our national security.”
