Andrew Metrick is a former fellow with the Defense Program at the Center for a New American Security (CNAS). His research focuses on the linkages between strategic objectives and operational plans with a specific interest in understanding the implications of protracted, global conflict against peer states. In this capacity, he employs a range of qualitative and quantitative research tools including operations research, GIS analysis, OSINT collection, and wargaming.

Prior to joining CNAS, he was a campaign analyst and wargamer at Northrop Grumman. In this role, he conducted strategic and theater level analysis to quantify munitions, posture, and logistics implications of peer conflict. This analysis and the associated models received multiple awards for innovation. Early in his career, he was an associate fellow with the International Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) where he published several studies focused on maritime issues in Asia and Europe.
