SUMMARY:ARNSF – Feb. 19
DESCRIPTION:ARNSF members are invited to a luncheon presentation of the Arter-Rowland National Security Forum. \nIn this presentation of the forum\, Paul Schwennesen\, Ph.D.\, will discuss Ukraine’s defensive war against Russian aggression which has made world headlines for the past three years. He will discuss how a striking evolution in the nature of the fight has been obscured by daily updates and political rhetoric. In truth\, Ukraine has gone from a net importer of military equipment and tactical training to positioning itself as a net exporter of the world’s most innovative and cutting edge battlefield know-how. Particularly in the realm of drone warfare\, Ukraine possesses the most advanced doctrine on the planet and the U.S. security establishment would be wise to embrace it. \n\nPaul Schwennesen\, Ph.D.\, is a military affairs analyst. He earned his doctorate from the University of Kansas\, a master’s in government from Harvard University\, and degrees in history and science from the U.S. Air Force Academy. \nSchwennesen served 10 years in the U.S. military in weapons-systems acquisition\, foreign area intelligence\, and flightline operations which included deployments to Central America and Afghanistan. \nIn 2022\, he volunteered in Ukraine to provide civilian aid and combat training on the frontlines against the Russian invasion. He was presented with the Verhkhovna Rada medal by the Ukrainian Parliament for “Merit to the Ukrainian People.” His writing has appeared in Law & Liberty\, The New York Times\, American Spectator\, Claremont Review\, and in textbooks on environmental ethics (Oxford University Press and McGraw-Hill). \n\nThe event is only open to members of the Arter-Rowland National Security Forum and their guests.  \nIf you are not a member of the Arter-Rowland National Security Forum\, CLICK HERE TO JOIN. \nARNSF Members may register below. \n\nQuestions about registration? – Contact Stephenie Cole\, scole@cgscf.org or call 913-651-0624. \nFor questions about the ARNSF contact Col.
