Business Executives for National Security, a nationwide, nonpartisan organization, is one of the primary channels through which senior business executives assist in enhancing the nation's security. BENS, based in Washington, D.C., also has branches in New York City, Atlanta, Dallas and Northern California. Its members have used their business experience to find practical solutions to national security challenges since 1982. The organization focuses on a variety of national security problems, including developing new tools to combat a category of new security threats that cannot be deterred or negotiated and finding resources to reshape and rebuild United States military forces for the 21st century. Bens played a major role in developing the process for closing obsolete military bases, freeing up billions of dollars in savings and allowing local communities to put unneeded military facilities to more productive use.
