In both previous periods, the committee's mission was clear: raise awareness of the threat to American safety; communicate the risk inherent in appeasing totalitarianism; and build support for an assertive policy to promote the security of the United States and its allies and friends.
In contrast, the second committee came together as an outside effort to replace the ruling faction of the foreign policy elite with a dissident camp rooted in a diversified constituent base of organized labor, the counter-establishment network of think tanks and policy institutes and a minority tendency in the Democratic Party.
Rising leftist insurgency in the Third World, the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and the populist coup that overthrew the shah of Iran during the second half of Carter's presidency shook the foundations of the post-Vietnam War policies of detente, arms control, Third World developmentalism and economic engagement with the Soviet Union.

The Committee on the Present Danger had two earlier incarnations, both designed to use fear to nudge Congress towards more hawkish positions.
