WSEG was formed on December 11, 1948, by Secretary of Defense James Forrestal in response to the lack of a high level analytical organization within the newly organized Department of Defense. WSEG was a joint military-civilian organization that reported directly to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of Defense. It dissolved in 1976 due to the Department of Defense's overlapping analytical and research programs, many of which absorbed WSEG projects and missions.
