One of those activities is an internship with the Historical Office of the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The secretary has a team of in-house experts who produce short- and long-term historical analyses of current defense issues, write books, support speechwriting, host talks by foreign policy experts and more.
