Vandergriff Briefing Rescheduled January 11, 2007 We have rescheduled our briefing by Maj. Vandergriff for Thursday, January 25 at 2:00. More details below. I hope you can make it. Please let me know. Retired Army Maj. Donald E. Vandergriff is the author of over 50 articles and two books on military personnel and leadership. His newest work is “Raising the Bar: Creating and Nurturing Adaptability to Deal with the Changing Face of War.” He addresses fundamental reasons why America’s military leadership has failed to adapt quickly and effectively to unfolding events in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he describes what actions are needed to produce an officer corps that can cope effectively with the form of warfare we face today (“4th generation warfare”). Vandergriff will summarize his work in a 20 minute on-the-record briefing. I hope you can attend. Please let me know if you plan to. When: Thursday, Jan. 25, at 2:00 p.m. Where: The Carnegie Building, 1779 Massachusetts Ave., NW (2 blocks from the DuPont Circle [south] Metro stop) in the Choate Room on the first floor. Copies of Vandergriff’s new publication, “Raising the Bar,” will be provided. [Read the DNI review.] Winslow T. Wheeler |
