As the U.S. military enters a new era of global competition, special operations forces will need to adapt in kind, according to a panel of authors who have written extensively about these troops.
America is at a national security crossroads, said N.W. Collins, author of Grey Wars: A Contemporary History of U.S. Special Operations.
“As a country, are we prepared to advance with resolve to strengthen our global footprint? To create dilemmas and impose costs on our adversaries, to identify new strategic investments and to come together in common values in this time of grey wars?” Collins said Dec. 9 during an Association of the U.S. Army Thought Leaders webinar.
The webinar also featured Jessica Donati, author of Eagle Down: The Last Special Forces Fighting the Forever War, and Tony Brooks, a former member of the 75th Ranger Regiment and author of Leave No Man Behind: The Untold Story of the Rangers’ Unrelenting Search for Marcus Luttrell, the Navy SEAL Lone Survivor in Afghanistan.
