Hosted by Major Mark Fogel, a veteran Air Force pilot with over 12 years flying experience, 4 in the only US Military jet dedicated to Air-to-Air Combat. The discussion will focus on the largely unknown story behind Operation Noble Eagle and the efforts to protect American skies in the post-9/11 era. MAJ Fogel is currently a MPP candidate and a Massachusetts National Guard pilot where his squadron is on guard, 24/7, in defense of the homeland.
For the Common Defense is a weekly seminar on defense issues run by the students and fellows of the Harvard Kennedy School. Each week, a different subject is explored, providing insights for students and fellows with no prior military background as well as for those who want to become better professionals in their military service.
Seminars are co-sponsored by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and are held in the Belfer Center Library, room L369. Sessions are open to the public but are “off the record,” meaning nothing said can be quoted outside the session. For more information contact John Chambers, John_Chambers@hks16.harvard.edu.
