DESCRIPTION:In the late 1990s\, the US Marine General Charles Krulak came u
 p with the concept of the “Three Block War” to illustrate the complex spec
 trum of challenges likely to be faced by soldiers on the modern battlefiel
 d. The idea was that the future of warfighting would be in urban environme
 nts in failing states\, where soldiers might be doing humanitarian assista
 nce in one block\, peacekeeping in another\, and actual combat in another.
 \n\nWith the “Freedom Convoy” of truckers\, followed quickly by the Russia
 n invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022\, we are witnessing the rise o
 f what we can call the “n-block war\,” a multi-dimensional combat environm
 ent that sees the collapse of the traditional distinctions between  soldie
 r and civilian\, state and nonstate actors\, information operations and ne
 ws reporting\, mercenaries and insurgents\, all of it thrown into\, and me
 diated by\, the constantly shifting and evolving real-time information env
 ironment.\n\nThis panel will look at the future of national security in th
 e world of the n-block war\, addressing questions such as: How should we p
 repare? What should we prioritize? With whom should we ally?\n\nThe Max Be
 ll School is hosting this event in collaboration with the Institute for Re
 search on Public Policy. Andrew Potter\, a professor at the School\, will 
 be moderating. The format of the panel will be a hybrid\, with free ticket
 s available for those who want to attend in person at the Max Bell School 
 and those who would like to watch the event via Zoom. \n\nLearn more about
  this event and find out how to register.\n
