2025 CIWAG Maritime Symposium: Shadows & Sabotage

For the third year, the Center on Irregular Warfare and Armed Groups (CIWAG), along with the NWCF, will host a maritime symposium exploring a range of issues confronting the United States and her partners concerning complex global security challenges. The two-day conference will explore topics around the Shadow Fleet, Maritime (Undersea) Sabotage, and the Race for Critical Minerals. CIWAG’s invitational writing workshop (on Day 3) will build upon the conference’s content, seeking to develop policy recommendations for the U.S. government.
