About This Event

As the forward deployed and rapid response force of the United States military, the Marine Corps has played an unparalleled role in projecting America's conventional military strength throughout the world. With the global war on terror's alteration of the strategic environment, the Marines must develop and transform–particularly their doctrine, training methods, and military tactics–in order to assure adaptability and innovation.

How has the war on terror challenged Marine Corps strategy? To what extent will the Marine Corps work with the other forces as it prepares to wage non-conventional warfare? These and other questions will be the subject of an all-day AEI conference, the third in a series on the future of America's armed forces.  General Michael W. Hagee, commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, will deliver the keynote address.
