Former Defense Security Cooperation Agency leader’s keynote will open 2021 Peace and War Virtual Summit
Retired U.S. Army lieutenant general will discuss U.S.-China relations
China’s rivalry with the United States military, security, economic, cyber and technological will take center stage as the 2021 Peace and War Virtual Summit starts Wednesday.
The seven-week summit, presented by Norwich University’s John and Mary Frances Patton Peace and War Center, includes virtual lectures and discussions by guest speakers and Norwich faculty. Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Charles W. Hooper, a renowned U.S.-China relations expert, will deliver the summit-starting keynote address.
Army leaders said the revised grooming standards support its “people first” priority, diversity and inclusion efforts.
“The Army must continue to put people first by fostering a culture of trust that accepts the experiences and backgrounds of every soldier and civilian,” said Lt. Gen. Gary Brito, deputy chief of staff for personnel. “Our diverse workforce is a competitive advantage, and the Army must continue to offer fair treatment, access and opportunity across the force.”
The changes follow a Department of Defense directive issued in July by then-Secretary of Defense Mark Esper to address discrimination, prejudice and bias in the ranks.
