The world today is more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous than it has been since WWII. Its not just armed conflict and terrorism that effect where the U.S. Army goes, what they do, and what they must be prepared for – its great power competition, crisis and potentially conflict. LTG Tony Hale, the U.S. Army’s Senior Intelligence Officer and the 48th Army G-2 will discuss how he views the current global environment and how the U.S. Army is transforming to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
