The Grand Strategy Field Study AIAD experience provides the opportunity to
apply theories of grand strategy to real-world historical and contemporary events.
Through travel to a place of grand strategic importance - whether the ruins of the
Athenian Empire, the decisive battlefields of World War II, or such new arenas of
Great Power competition as the Indo-Pacific - cadets will gain a deep first-hand
understanding of the geopolitical, cultural, economic, and technological factors
shaping grand strategy throughout history and in the present day. Scope, depth,
and material covered will satisfy the requirement of a 3-credit hour course in the
Grand Strategy program.
