The presentation is part of the U.S. Army War College Eisenhower National Security Lecture Series, and is being hosted by the UND Center for Community in cooperation with several other UND and community programs and military committees, according to a university news release. Guest speakers for the discussion are: U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Curtis Mason, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Michael S. Matis, U.S. Air Force Col. David Morrissey and U.S Army Lt. Col. Brian Scott. The program is part of the War College's communication and outreach program designed to encourage dialogue on national security and other public policy issues between its students and the public, according to the release.
