2786 - Modern Warfare - A look at the evolution of warfare in the 21st Century
Course Description
Instructor: COL (Ret) Lawrence Saul
Warfare has evolved significantly since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. There was a significant shift from large, national armies to Non-State groups, terrorist groups, Private Military Companies, and lone wolf actors. Additionally, the nature of war has also changed. Today, outer space is a battleground, as is the internet and cyber space. This course will explore the evolution in warfare and how the battlefield could be in some far-off distant land, in your neighborhood or in your laptop.
