Rasmussen comes to NPS from the U.S. Naval War College where he served as a military professor in the National Security Affairs Department.
"It's an honor to come to this respected institution," said Rasmussen. "My goals are to keep focused on one of NPS' core missions, which is educating officers and civilians in order to lead an innovative and effective joint force."
"NPS is in good hands with Paul, he brings a fresh set of eyes to the processes," added Mabini.
Rasmussen is looking forward to continuing where Mabini left off. "I've been here for three days and I can already tell I've got some big shoes to fill," said Rasmussen. "[Mabini] has made a big difference during his time at NPS and I look forward to continuing his legacy by focusing on the students and producing highly-educated leaders."
Mabini soon leaves NPS for Okinawa, Japan, where he will serve as the plans officer at Expeditionary Strike Group 7.
