The Mari ne Corps University symposium, "Counterinsurgency Leadership in Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond" held on September 23, 2009 at the National Press Club, Washington, DC explored ways to improve counterinsurgency leadership, with particular attention to the leaders of American, Afghan, and Iraqi forces.
The Symposium was sponsored by Marine Corps University and the Mari ne Corps University Foundation.
This one-day symposium was a resounding success. We would like to thank everyone who participated in and attended the conference for their support. During the coming weeks, several post symposium publications will become available to further share this conversation about leadership lessons in counterinsurgency environments.
