A keen understanding of the United States' International Security role is often underpinned by a working knowledge of the U.S. warfighting Combatant Command (COCOM) structure, service roles, and responsibilities of key commanders. This seminar is informative in nature and outlines the nation's COCOMs, geographic areas of responsibilities, key unified command plan changes, and stategic/operational planning constructs. The session also provides a forum to challenge current paradigms when considering roles of other foreign policy actors, flexibility for coalitions in response to regional/ethnic issues, and emerging threats in domains that transcend geographic boundaries (e.g., space and cyberspace).

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
