MWI’s mission is promoting informed debate and discussion among military and national security professionals, policymakers, and academics to prepare the Army, as part of the joint, combined, and interagency team, to win tomorrow, by shaping the Army today. MWI War Councils provide a valuable opportunity to broaden Cadet education by bringing in leading experts from around the country to discuss current national security problems as they relate to strategic studies theories. These valuable engagements also attract an audience from other faculty and students and are published later via the MWI website. MWI continuously generates new knowledge and adapts extant theories about the study of war, which it then integrates across the United States Military Academy (USMA), the Army, and the joint, combined, and interagency partners. The War Council Series is made possible by the gracious contributions of the Class of 1992 to the Modern War Institute (MWI) at West Point.
On 4 March 2024, the Director of the FBI, Mr. Christopher Wray, addressed West Point’s 1st and 2nd class cadets at West Point’s Eisenhower Hall. After opening remarks, Mr. Wray participated in a Q&A session with cadets, moderated by West Point’s dean, BG Shane Reeves.
