Camden Conference 2012 2/27/12

PROGRAM NAME: Camden Conference 2012 – Wayne Porter/Mark Mykleby

This presentation from the 2012 Camden Conference is entitled “Beyond Risk and Threat: The Need for a National Strategic Narrative.” The speakers are Capt. Wayne Porter, (USN) and Col. Mark Mykleby (USMC – Retired). They observe there are fundamental questions that more and more Americans are asking that are looking for a story, not just a list of military strategies. In short, they argue, we need not only a strategic plan but a strategic narrative for today’s world.

What challenges face the US, and the world, in the coming years?
What should be the US strategic response to these challenges?
Is the strategic approach of the post WWII era appropriate for today?
