About NDC

Founded in 2003, National Defense Committee was established to advocate for fundamental reforms during the post-9/11 ramp up of Reserve utilization.

Today NDC – and its sister organization, the National Defense Foundation – continue to defend the inalienable and civil rights of military personnel, veterans, and their families, such as voting rights, freedom of conscience, freedom to contract, maximum freedom in the use of their benefits (health care, education), and protection of their rights to defend their personal, family, and community liberties.
