The mid to late 1990s in Europe were a time of tension that almost led to nuclear war, a time of the “color revolutions” in Eastern Europe that led to the eventual disintegration of the Soviet Union, and a time when our Western allies began questioning the utility of the North Atlantic Alliance. In this presentation of the Forum, Col. (Ret.) Bob Ulin, a former U.S. Army foreign area officer, will provide a firsthand experience of traveling through and speaking with high-level officials in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and (Eastern) Germany during the final years of occupation by the Soviet Union.

This event is only open to members of the ARNSF. If you are not a member but are interested in joining, contact Bob Ulin at rulin@cgscf.org.

Retired Colonel Bob Ulin spent 17 1/2 years in Europe out of his 33-year Army career. The last 10 years of his Army service was spent as a European foreign area officer serving at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), the American Embassies in Belgium and Luxembourg, on NATO The Military Committee in Brussels, and finally as the director of International and European Studies at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
