Summary: <p>In May 2023, the War College hosted the second annual <a href="https://csl.armywarcollege.edu/landpower/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Strategic Landpower Symposium</a>. Bringing together students, scholars and practitioners, the symposium presented senior leaders with original research and recommendations for the application of landpower to achieve national objectives. Included within the symposium were the findings of the Army War College Strategic Landpower Integrated Research Project, an effort of eleven members of the Class of 2023 in support of Army senior leader priorities. A BETTER PEACE has organized four podcast episodes with those students to discuss their projects, their relationship to the Strategic Landpower Symposium and possible implications for the future of U.S. security policy. In the virtual studio for this third episode are Jennifer Hunt, Matthew Inglis, and Lillian Woodington. They join podcast editor Ron Granieri to discuss the complicated task of protection writ large. Their conversation covers the concepts of the role the National Guard might play in addressing vulnerabilities in the cyber domain, air and missile defense across the competition continuum, and the role of protection in deterrence.</p><br> <br> <p>The third annual <a href="https://csl.armywarcollege.edu/landpower/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Strategic Landpower Symposium</a> is already scheduled for 7-9 May 2024.
