This course helps prepare future lieutenants for what else they need to know while deployed besides military tactics and strategy. Bringing together subject matter experts from the staff and faculty of the US Military Academy, US governmental agencies, and other international actors, we cover topics as varied as counterinsurgency, cultural awareness, players on the ground, governance and economics, and legal, moral, and ethical considerations leaders will face while deployed. 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 aims to help create "soldier statesmen" at the Company Grade level for the US Army, and is open to any interested junior or senior.
