SUMMARY:MWI War Studies Conference: “Reassessing Deterrence in the 21st Century”
DESCRIPTION:WAR STUDIES CONFERENCE\n Reassessing Deterrence in the 21st Century\n November 13-15\, 2016\n Conference Agenda\nTomorrow’s potential adversaries require a new approach for American strategic deterrence. Fifty years after Thomas Schelling penned Arms and Influence\, globalization\, modernization\, interconnectedness and the pervasiveness of non-state adversaries have fundamentally changed our capability as well as our credibility to deter. The Modern War Institute (MWI) will convene a distinguished group of academics\, practitioners\, business leaders and policymakers to discuss these changes and explore their implications for U.S. national security strategy. The conference will emphasize greater joint\, interagency\, and multinational integration and readiness of the U.S. military and policymaking communities to meet current and upcoming threats and challenges. Topics under discussion include the challenge of deterring non-state enemies on the cyber battlefield; the viability of NATO and other 20th century alliances to deter; and domestic political challenges – from defense budgeting to strained civil-military relations – to deterring potential adversaries. The purpose of the conference is to gather the world’s preeminent thought leaders to discuss and debate the role of strategic deterrence in modern warfare\, which will shape our first edited conference volume and help inform the West Point cadet education program. \nWar Studies Conference Agenda

SUMMARY:Kill Team – Simon Center for the Professional Military Ethic (SCPME) Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Kill Team\, with Dan Krauss (Director) and Adam Winfield – Simon Center for the Professional Military Ethic (SCPME) Film Screening \nTHE KILL TEAM goes behind closed doors to tell the riveting story of Specialist Adam Winfield\, a 21-year-old infantryman in Afghanistan who attempted with the help of his father to alert the military to heinous war crimes his platoon was committing. Tragically\, his father’s pleas for help went unheeded. Once Adam’s fellow soldiers got wind of what he’d done\, they threatened to silence him — permanently. Forced to choose between his conscience and his own survival\, Adam found himself drawn into a moral abyss\, faced with a split-second decision that would change his life forever. \nWith extraordinary access to the key individuals involved in the case – including Adam\, his passionately supportive parents\, and his startlingly candid compatriots — THE KILL TEAM is an intimate look at the personal stories so often lost inside the larger coverage of the longest war in US history.

SUMMARY:Sandhurst Conference: Preparing Our Future Leaders for Modern War
DESCRIPTION:Lieutenant General Robert L. Caslen\, the Superintendent of the United States Military Academy and Brigadier General Diana M. Holland\, Commandant of the United States Corps of Cadets\, present the inaugural Sandhurst Conference at West Point. The conference will be an annual event organized by the Department of Military Instruction and the Modern War Institute to complement the traditionally military Sandhurst competition and provide an intellectual and academic forum for officers across the globe to discuss and debate how best to prepare for modern war. To encourage a free and open exchange of views\, all comments during the conference are “not for attribution.” \nThe theme for the inaugural conference is “Preparing Our Future Leaders for Modern War.” The premise of this conference is that technical and tactical competence alone no longer suffices for junior officers to meet the challenges of 21st Century warfare. The nature and character of war are changing amid rapid technological advancements and the growing complexity and uncertainty of the modern battlefield. Throughout this conference\, we will seek to better understand the challenges of modern war and how to prepare our future leaders to win in a complex world. \nThis year’s conference is made possible through the generosity of the USMA Class of 1999 \n \nConference Schedule
