Eliminate National Security Council directorates not aligned with the President
What the document says“the NSA should immediately evaluate and eliminate directorates that are not aligned with the President’s agenda”
The chapter says the National Security Advisor should immediately assess the Council's directorates, eliminate those not aligned with the President's agenda and replace them with new ones able to drive his signature national security priorities, assigning named senior officials responsibility for specific initiatives with measurable milestones.
What the document actually says“the NSA should immediately evaluate and eliminate directorates that are not aligned with the President’s agenda”
The adviser should look at each team. He should close the ones that do not fit the president's aims.
The security council is split into small teams by subject. The book says the new adviser should judge each one. Teams that do not fit the president's plans should be closed. New teams would take their place.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Executive Order 14169 pauses and reviews United States foreign aid for alignment with the President's foreign policy, which is the same test the passage applies, but it is applied to assistance programs at the State Department and the aid agencies rather than to the directorates of the National Security Council staff. No candidate abolishes, creates or reassigns an NSC directorate. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
