The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh and the U.S. Army War College present a regional seminar for students: Keeping the Peace: Challenges Facing National Security.

President Obama recently unveiled a comprehensive strategy for the Unites States’ involvement in Afghanistan, a plan that includes a surge of 30,000 troops, improved diplomatic relations with Pakistan, and a deadline for withdrawal from the region.  President Obama’s speech prompted various questions, both domestically and abroad.

How will we measure success in Afghanistan and Iraq? In what ways will our actions in Afghanistan and the Middle East affect American foreign policy and military presence in other areas of the globe? How will the U.S. strengthen existing alliances and forge new partnerships? How will the current administration balance national security concerns with the domestic agenda, especially while faced with a global economic crisis?

Learn about pressing international security issues facing the U.S. from military officers at the U.S. Army War College who have first-hand experience of military operations and strategy at home and abroad.

There is NO CHARGE for the Regional Seminar.  Please note: Lunch is not included as part of the Seminar.

Please register online or by phone at 412-281-7970 by February 15, 2010. Confirmation materials will be sent prior to the event.
