The Changing Role of the US Military

This November, we will present a forum focused on the debate around the current administration’s use or proposed use of the armed services within US borders. Our aim is to assess the normative aspects of US military history, current deviations from those norms, and ways in which the military and non-military citizenry alike can champion the armed services’ commitment to their founding principles.

Panelists include LTG (Ret.) David W. Barno, Professor of Practice at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies; Kori Schake, who leads the foreign and defense policy team at the American Enterprise Institute and is the author of Safe Passage: the Transition from British to American Hegemony; and Juliette Kayyem, Professor at Harvard Kennedy School / CNN Senior National Security Analyst; the forum will be moderated by Leigh Hafrey '73, Senior Lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management.
