Former national security advisor Brent Scowcroft died Thursday of natural causes, the Scowcroft Group announced Friday.
The former Air Force general was 95 years old.
Scowcroft served as national security adviser under Presidents George H.W. Bush and Gerald Ford. Before that, he was a military aide to President Richard Nixon. He was a key figure during the Gulf War and the last days of the Cold War.

Born on March 19, 1925, in Ogden, Utah, Scowcroft graduated from West Point in 1947 and immediately joined the Air Force.
Multiple political figures said Scowcroft will be remembered for his bipartisan approach to foreign policy matters.
“The example he set of objectivity, non-partisanship, honesty, and humility while in public service he continued in the private sector, establishing a firm that has provided non-partisan advice for over twenty-five years in understanding challenging international issues,” his foundation said in a statement.
