'''Business Executives for National Security (BENS)''' is an American [[501(c)(3)]] non-profit organization. It was founded in 1982 by former mining executive Stanley Weiss.
For almost thirty years, BENS has served as the primary channel through which senior American business leaders contribute special experience and talent to help build a more secure nation.{{ BENS’ early work focused extensively on U.S.-Soviet threat reduction initiatives and on widespread inefficiencies in support functions in the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] (DoD). After championing base realignment and closure, BENS worked to find and develop opportunities at the affected bases. They have widened our{{who|date=December 2013}} focus over the last decade to encompass a range of new threats that challenge American security. In recent years they also have broadened their government partnerships to include: the Departments of State, Treasury,
BENS believes that the defining strengths of the American private sector – ingenuity, innovation, and efficiency – should be applied to the United States of America's security, by working with government partners to develop creative, new approaches to deal with the challenges we{{who|date=December 2013}} face today.{{
Programs supported by BENS have included the [[Base Realignment and Closure]] program<ref>{{cite web
