Gaffney began his public service career in the 1970s, working as an aide in the office of Democratic Senator Henry M. Jackson, under Richard Perle. From August 1983 until November 1987, Gaffney held the position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy in the Reagan Administration, again serving under Perle.<1> In April 1987, Gaffney was nominated to the position of Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy; he served as the acting Assistant Secretary for seven months,<1> although his confirmation was ultimately blocked by the United States Senate.

In 1988 Gaffney established the Center for Security Policy (CSP), a self-described conservative national security and defense policy organization. The CSP is subsidized by donors supportive of conservative causes, including the Sarah Mellon Scaife Foundation, the Shelby Cullom Davis Foundation and the William H. Donner Foundation.<2>
