U.S. Naval War College (NWC) held its 12th annual Regional Alumni Symposium (RAS) in Newport, Rhode Island. The event was co-hosted by U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa / 6th Fleet and sponsored by U.S. Africa Command. The RAS explored a wide range of topics under the overarching theme of “Strengthening Global Maritime Partnerships.”
RASs are academic conferences designed to continue the professional military education of NWC alumni after they leave Newport. Programs include keynote speeches by prominent military leaders and faculty-led panels addressing contemporary challenges.
