Conference: Annual U.S. Army War College Strategy Conference

The organizers announce the 24th Annual Strategy Conference in Carlisle, Pennsylvania from 9-11 April 2013. The conference theme is The Future of American Landpower and participants will explore American Landpower implications associated with an evolving national security strategy. Conference debaters, panelists, and speakers will examine how the U.S. Government and the Army can meet the challenges of the future security environment in light of sequestration, military downsizing, and an evolving international security environment. Fundamental assumptions of the conference are that the U.S. economy is the foundation of America's strength and security, that diplomacy backed by a strong military is necessary to shape America's future engagement around the world, and that Landpower development initiatives must take place within this reality. This year, Dr. John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago will kick off the event as the opening keynote speaker, and Dr. Andrew Krepinevich will provide the banquet keynote address. The conference will also include an on-stage interview by Margaret Warner of the PBS NewsHour. Registration is free and available online. See the conference website for more information.
