The Georgia Tech Center for Transatlantic Studies (CETS) and the Center for International Security, Technology, and Policy (CISTP) are jointly hosting a panel discussion on Transatlantic Perspectives on Civil-Military Relations featuring Lieutenant Colonel Thomas K. Harland, German Army, and Major Nathan M. Hubbard, U.S. Army.
The speakers will share their perspectives on the similarities and differences between domestic civil-military relations in Germany and in the U.S. A central concern will be how those similarities and differences shape transatlantic military cooperation.
