Annual Meeting And Shipbuilding Panel
Our 152nd Annual Meeting will take place on Wednesday, 14 May, at the Jack C. Taylor Conference Center in Annapolis. After an update on the state of the Institute, we will recognize our Authors of the Year, essay contest winners, and hear from a distinguished panel of speakers who will address current shipbuilding challenges. A reception will follow for all guests on the Topside Terrace. Members and supporters can register at usni.org/events to attend in person or view a livestream of the event.
From the Naval Institute Press
Nothing Here Worth Dying For, a sharp, challenging memoir by retired Marine Colonel Seth Folsom, lays bare the complexities of modern military combat-advisor missions at the twilight of America’s longest war. Folsom tells the full story of his command of Task Force Lion—a “purpose-built” combat advisor team—and his frenetic 2017 deployment to Iraq’s Al Anbar Province. Charged with the daunting task of advising, assisting, and enabling the Iraqi Security Forces in their fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Folsom and his team of Marines and sailors struggled to support their Iraqi partners in the Jazeera Operations Command while simultaneously grappling with their own leadership for their relevance on the battlefield.
