This course aims to help create "soldier statesmen" at the Company Grade level for the US Army. Subject matter experts from across the staff and faculty of the US Military Academy, US governmental agencies, and other international actors, discuss situations deployed leaders will likely face in the future, including counterinsurgency, cultural awareness, interagency dynamics, military-to-military engagement and exchange, governance and economics, and legal, moral, and ethical considerations, among others. This course helps future officers develop the basic knowledge and skills needed to become strategically adept in a complex and evolving strategic landscape. We also spend two nights and three days in a multi-ethnic US city interacting with Egyptian Copts, Muslims, Hindus, and various Christian denominations to more fully understand how groups with different beliefs can live and work together. This course is open to any interested sophomore, junior, or senior.
