This year’s symposium will explore the ethical implications of committing the military in non-traditional roles. For the past several decades a growing debate has emerged regarding the roles of the military and the commitment of forces. This debate is largely in response to the rising number of crises around the world. These events often present widespread, complex problems that require significant resources and expertise. Many have come to view the U.S. military as the nation’s “Swiss Army Knife,” an organization rich in talent and capabilities, able to project worldwide to solve many wide-ranging challenges.

The Fort Leavenworth Ethics Symposium is an annual symposium co-sponsored and hosted by the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College (CGSC) and the Command and General Staff College Foundation, Inc.
