The United States is currently navigating numerous geopolitical challenges. The terrorist group ISIS recently attacked U. S. allies. China is claiming and defending territory in the South China Sea. Trends of shifting demographic and weak economies place stress on failed and failing states, contributing to additional security concerns. How is the U. S. military responding to these issues? Senior officers, who have first-hand experience with military operations and tactics at home and abroad, will discuss their research on various national security issues, and how the U. S. is addressing these concerns. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in discussion with the officers on these issues.
This program is generously funded by the McMurray Veterans of Foreign Wars POST 764.
