| DS498 | LEADERSHIP IN FUTURE WAR | 2022 | 1 | Military Instruction | 3.0 (BS=0.0, ET=0.0, MA=0.0) | ||||
| SCOPE | |||||||||
| Clausewitz states that the violent, interactive, and fundamentally political nature of war is unchanging. The character of war, however, changes with technology, society, and the international political system. This course integrates previous instruction from DS320, DS370, and academy core courses on leadership and strategy while exploring how emerging technologies interact with the contemporary international environment to influence the character of war. Cadets analyze how technologies like artificial intelligence, autonomous weapons, social media, cyber, and drones might influence the future of war and create the need for adaptive leaders. In line with strategic guidance, this course emphasizes intellectual leadership and professionalism in the art and science of warfighting, deepens Cadets' understanding of history, and embraces the role of emerging technologies to better prepare leaders to compete with adversaries. DS498 seeks to deepen this understanding through case study analysis, written and oral communication, and collaborative projects. | |||||||||

| DS498 | COLLOQUIUM IN MILITARY AFFAIRS | 2013 | 2 | Military Instruction | 3.0 (BS=0.0, ET=0.0, MA=0.0) | ||||
| SCOPE | |||||||||
| The colloquium uses seminar discussions to analyze and debate issues of command and leadership, as well as the linkage of strategic, operational, and tactical objectives in historical and current military operations. Cadets apply the fundamentals learned through previous instruction in strategy, logistics, intelligence, tactics, and irregular warfare to historical campaigns as well as current military operations. Books and selected readings will expose cadets to commanders with different leadership styles, providing them the basis for discussion, and encouraging individual study of command and leadership. Cadets will also begin, or continue to gain, greater insight into their own personal philosophy of command and leadership. Topics may vary each year in accordance with cadet interest and faculty expertise. | |||||||||
