The Army of the Future: Who and What Will the Biggest Branch of the Military Look Like

Come for a conversation with Christine Wormuth, the first woman to head the Army - the nation’s largest service branch - about her ideas for leading a new generation of troops in a dynamic global environment. Yes, there is Ukraine and extended range cannon artillery to ponder, but also how to find families affordable housing, improve living conditions in barracks and expand on-base child care. In a force that is both increasingly female and diverse, how does the Army – a mirror on the demographic terrain of our nation – move into the future?

Moderated by IOP Speaker Series director Jennifer Steinhauer.
