Enterprise Perspective Seminar

October 20-23, 2014

America’s national security is more than the military and its attendant support system. In a world defined by big-power rivalries and increasing regional disputes, U.S. security concerns today are broader and more multi-dimensional than at any time in the nation’s history.

Congress, the Obama Administration and the courts face a number of complex political and military challenges critical to the mission of the Department of Defense. This four-day Enterprise Perspective Seminar will bring together a faculty of internationally recognized experts who, in an "off-the-record" setting, will discuss the domestic and global implications of administration policies and their impact on leadership in the Department of Defense and the Intelligence community.
