Frank Miller is a Principal at The Scowcroft Group in Washington, D.C. and also is an independent consultant. He joined The Scowcroft Group in August 2010, after five years as a member of the Cohen Group, first as a Vice President and then as a Senior Counselor.
Previously, Miller worked in the White House, where he had served since January 2001 as a Special Assistant to the President for National Security and as Senior Director for Defense Policy and Arms Control on the National Security Council staff.
While in the Executive Branch, he was responsible for a wide range of Presidential policy initiatives in the fields of nuclear deterrence policy, strategic arms reductions, national space policy, defense trade reform, land mines, and transforming the American and NATO militaries.
Miller directed interagency support of both Operation Enduring Freedom (the liberation of Afghanistan) in 2001 and Operation Iraqi Freedom during its pre-, trans-, and post-war phases. His White House assignment capped a 31-year career in the U.S. government, which included two years at the Department of State and 22 years supporting seven Secretaries of Defense in a series of progressively senior positions in the Department of Defense.
During his career, Miller took part in the evolution of national deterrence and nuclear targeting policy as well as the START 1 and START 2 treaties, and was instrumental in forging critically important new relationships with the British Ministry of Defence. In recognition of his service, Miller holds a number of distinguished U.S. awards. In addition, he has received an honorary knighthood (KBE) from Queen Elizabeth II, the Norwegian Royal Order of Merit in the grade of Grand Officer, and the French Legion of Honor in the grade of Officer.
