JSOU Talks

is JSOU’s guest lecture series, which seeks to explore and discuss various
topics of interest to the SOF enterprise. Topics range from intelligence in
SOF, to controlling narratives, updates on Ukraine and Russian Way of War,
Cyber Warfare, great power competition and SOF history, just to name a few.
Formats can be in the form of speaker or lecturer, interview, book review, or
panel discussion, and can be virtual or live in person. These professional
development educational activities are convenient, as learners can access
content anytime at jsou.edu. And they are valuable, as JSOU engages subject
matter experts, academic experts, senior military leaders, senior business
leaders, and professionals in their fields of all kinds of topics important to
special operations, to provide invaluable insight and collaboration, as we
navigate operational spaces that are dangerous, everchanging, and complex ways
never before seen.
