PNSR published its landmark report, Forging a New Shield, in December 2008, which they claim is "one of the most comprehensive studies of the U.S. national security system in American history." It's second major report, Turning Ideas Into Action, was published in October 2009, and "gauges progress in national security reform in the Executive Branch and Congress, refines recommendations from Forging a New Shield, and outlines specific next steps that must be taken by the government to implement systemic transformation."[2]
