Lecture by Major Brennan Deveraux. This lecture is framed around Major Brennan Deveraux's 2016 deployment to Iraq as the theater-level rocket artillery liaison in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, where his team in the Strike Cell killed thousands of ISIS fighters with rockets, missiles, and bombs. The conversation will highlight the role HIMARS played in the campaign against ISIS in Central Iraq. In so doing, the presentation will cover critical themes, including employing emerging technologies, airspace deconfliction on a modern battlefield, collateral damage in urban warfare, the dehumanization of the enemy, and the impact of "virtual warfare" on service members. The lecture concludes with a look to the future and a tie-in to modern conflicts from the transparent battlefield to the controversial components of drone strikes. Major Brennan Deveraux is a US Army strategist serving as a national security researcher at the US Army War College Strategic Studies Institute. He has three defense-related master’s degrees and focuses his research on military adaptation, emerging-technology management, and the characteristics of future warfare. Deveraux is the author of numerous books; his most recent book is the war memoir Exterminating ISIS: Behind the Curtain of a Technological War.

Lecture by Mr. Robert Williams. Join us for an exciting lecture that explores how a small group of World War II airborne officers took control of the US Army after World War II. This powerful cadre cemented a unique airborne culture that had an unprecedented impact on the Cold War US Army and beyond. Experiences of training and commanding airborne divisions in World War II led these men to hold sway in army doctrine by the mid-1950s. Dominating institutional thought and imparting their values, beliefs, and norms throughout the service they enjoyed a special privilege within the group culture. I focus on the paratrooper triumvirate of Matthew Ridgway, Maxwell Taylor, and James Gavin and the lasting impression they made on how the US Army fought. Robert F. Williams is a research historian with Army University Press at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. A former airborne infantry non-commissioned officer, he has served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, he earned a Ph.D. from Ohio State University in 2023 and a BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2018. His work has appeared in the Journal of Military History, Military Review, Parameters, War on the Rocks, the Modern War Institute, Small Wars Journal, and Stars and Stripes. He is a historian of the United States Army and land warfare, with a particular interest in organizational culture. His first book, The Airborne Mafia: The Paratroopers Who Shaped America's Cold War Army, was published by Cornell University Press in 2025.

Lecture by Dr. Emily Sneff. Publishing for the 250th anniversary of the United States, When the Declaration of Independence Was News focuses on the nation's founding document at the moment of its creation in 1776, before anyone knew what the legacy of the Declaration would be or if the United States would win the war against Great Britain. It explores how the Declaration was communicated to people in the new nation and around the Atlantic world and reveals the stories of the many people involved in the process of declaring independence, from printers to soldiers to diplomats to translators. This presentation will focus on how the Declaration spread to George Washington and the Continental Army at a pivotal moment in the war. Emily Sneff, Ph.D., is an early American historian and leading expert on the Declaration of Independence. She is a consulting curator for exhibitions planned for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration at the Museum of the American Revolution and Historic Trappe. This Lecture will be livestreamed at: www.youtube.com/@US_AWC/STREAMS.
