.Invite to U.S. Military Index Launch
Foreign Policy magazine and the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) cordially invite you to a launch event where the results of the most provocative survey of the U.S. military in over 30 years will be released. The event will take place on February 19, 2008, from 10:00AM to 11:30AM in the Crystal Ballroom at the Willard Hotel, located at 1401 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C.
Foreign Policy and CNAS set out to address some of the most challenging questions facing the U.S. military in the 21st century: What is the actual state of America's military? How healthy are the armed forces? How prepared are they for future conflicts? How confident are they in civilian leaders and government institutions? And what impact have the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan really had on them?
To find out, Foreign Policy and CNAS teamed up to survey more than 3,400 of America's highest ranking active duty and retired military officials - the very people who have run the military over the last half century - on the state of the force, the health of the military, the course of the war in Iraq, and the challenges that lie ahead.
After a brief presentation of the survey's findings, a distinguished panel will help analyze the importance and meaning of the results, including:
Maj. Gen. Robert H. Scales Jr., USA (Ret.)
General Scales served more than 30 years in the U.S. Army, including as commandant of the U.S. Army War College. He is a Fox News Channel military analyst and the president of Colgen, Inc.
Lt. Gen. Gregory S. Newbold, USMC (Ret.)
General Newbold served more than 30 years in the Marine Corps, including as director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He currently serves as a partner and chair at Torch Hill Investment Partners.
Lt. Col. John A. Nagl, USA
Colonel Nagl is commander, 1st Battalion, 34th Armor, at Fort Riley, Kan. He was deployed to Iraq in 2003, helped write the Army's counterinsurgency field manual, and is the author of Learning to Eat Soup With a Knife: Counterinsurgency Lessons from Malaya and Vietnam.

Damm, I do wish I could go, but you know, scheduling conflicts... I hope C-SPAN airs it.
