Program for Emerging Leaders (PEL) Information Session Nov 05, 2020

Founded in 2008, the Program for Emerging Leaders (PEL) shapes and supports the next generation of leaders from across the U.S. government to meet the challenges of countering weapons of mass destruction. PEL aims to foster a community of rising U.S. government leaders with the knowledge and skill-set to respond to the dangers of WMD. The three-year program brings together early- to mid-career national security professionals, selected on a competitive basis from across the U.S. government, to develop and enhance awareness of the variety of WMD threats—including chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons—and the full range of means, processes, and organizations for addressing them. We welcome applications from eligible candidates who live within or beyond the National Capital Region (NCR), including candidates stationed overseas. Candidates must be early- to mid-career (approximately 5-15 years of government service), civilian U.S. government employees (GS-11-13 or equivalent), or commissioned military officers (O-3 and O-4) with responsibilities related to national security. All applicants must be U.S. citizens, hold an active SECRET clearance, and have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree.

Adaptation Under Fire with Nora Bensahel and David Barno Oct 29, 2020

Join authors Nora Bensahel and David Barno to discuss their book, Adaptation Under Fire., a critical look into how and why the US military needs to become more adaptable.

The book argues that militaries facing unknown future conflicts must nevertheless make choices about the type of doctrine that their units will use, the weapons and equipment they will purchase, and the kind of leaders they will select and develop to guide the force to victory. Yet after a war begins, many of these choices will prove flawed in the unpredictable crucible of the battlefield. For a U.S. military facing diverse global threats, its ability to adapt quickly and effectively to those unforeseen circumstances may spell the difference between victory and defeat. With #NatSecGirlSquad founder Maggie Feldman-Piltch. Recorded October 29, 2020.

How to Lose the Information War Aug 06, 2020

Since the start of the Trump era, the United States and the Western world has finally begun to wake up to the threat of online warfare and the attacks from Russia. The question no one seems to be able to answer is: what can the West do about it?

Central and Eastern European states, however, have been aware of the threat for years. Nina Jankowicz has advised these governments on the front lines of the information war. The lessons she learnt from that fight, and from her attempts to get governments to act, make for essential reading. How to Lose the Information War takes the reader on a journey through five Western governments' responses to Russian information warfare tactics - all of which have failed. She journeys into the campaigns the Russian operatives run, and shows how we can better understand the motivations behind these attacks and how to beat them. Above all, this book shows what is at stake: the future of civil discourse and democracy, and the value of truth itself.

A Whole of Society Response to Crime and Violence Jul 20, 2020

A candid presentation and conversation on how combatting violence and crime is at the core of our national security, and requires much more than community policing. Former FBI Agent and Senior Leader Rob Saale discusses how his experience fighting gang violence and terrorism shaped his understanding of what is really required to build peace at home and abroad. In particular, Rob outlines why arrests alone do not lead to secure and stable communities and how fully funded and impactful community services are absolutely necessary for security.

Rob Saale is the founder and CEO of Star Consulting and Investigations LLC, an international security firm in Alexandria, VA with a broad reach that includes experienced professional resources spanning five continents. Rob has been called upon to consult with companies, law firms, and individuals regarding risk mitigation for organizations and individuals operating in, traveling to and living in high risk areas abroad. Before establishing the Star Consulting and Investigations, Rob had a distinguished federal law enforcement career as an FBI Special Agent and executive leader. Most recently Rob served as the Director of the Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell, a U.S. Government Interagency organization directly responsible to the President of the United States for coordinating recovery efforts for U.S. hostages held abroad. Rob also served as Assistant Special Agent in Charge of one of the FBI’s top 13 US-based field offices where he successfully led numerous federal investigations resulting in hundreds of arrests, indictments, and convictions of violent and white-collar criminals, terror suspects, and fugitives from justice. As a field Agent, Rob was highly regarded receiving numerous awards for investigative excellence. Rob also served as an FBI SWAT commander, SWAT Team member, and was one of the original members of the FBI Director’s Protective Detail.
