A Luncheon and Discussion:
On
"Greenland Beyond the Headlines: A Conversation with Greenland's Head of Representation to the U.S./Canada"
With
Jacob Isbosethsen
Head of the Greenland Representation to the United States and Canada
As the High North assumes an increasingly vital role in modern geostrategics, the evolving diplomatic dialogue between the United States, Greenland, and the Kingdom of Denmark sits at a crucial intersection of national security, regional autonomy, and international law. This off-the-record luncheon will provide a measured examination of the strategic priorities shaping North Atlantic security. Please join us to explore how modern statecraft navigates the delicate equilibrium between Greenland's constitutional path toward self-governance, Danish territorial sovereignty, and expanding allied security commitments across the Arctic.

China Cognitive Warfare
with
Josh Baughman, US National Defense University
Cognitive Warfare is seen as its own domain in modern warfare alongside the four military domains defined by their environment (land, maritime, air and space) and the cyber domain connects them all. Cognitive Warfare operates on a global stage as we are all digitally connected and uses information technology and the tools, machines, networks and systems to seek out it's target: intelligence.
China, as a strategic competitor to NATO, describes Cognitive Warfare as the use of public opinion, psychological operations, and legal influence to achieve victory. Combat psychology has significant impact on the warfighter's ability to function with a focus on recording facial information, emotional changes and psychological states of soldiers to determine their combat status. Outside of the battlefield, influence can also affect law, rule-of-order and civil constructs.
