IDS International

Founded in late 2001, IDS International is a national security consulting firm with both government and private sector clients. IDS International is a small business and since 2006, has emerged as a leader in interagency (IA), reconstruction and stabilization, non-lethal, and “smart power” training for the US military and US Department of State (DOS). Both military and civilian agencies have turned to our team of former senior-level defense, development, and diplomacy officials to serve as the primary interagency/Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) trainers for units deploying to Afghanistan and Iraq.

IDS International has a ready team of both full-time employees and an extensive network of conflict zone experts and consultants who have built a strong reputation for their unparalleled depth of multi-disciplinary expertise in the 3Ds - defense, development, and diplomacy. Many of our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), instructors, and trainers have recently returned from senior-level assignments in Iraq or Afghanistan, working for organizations such as the DOS, USAID, Army Civil Affairs, US military, National Security Council, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector.
