The American Security Project cordially invites you to a breakfast discussion:
The Honorable Adam Smith
The Horn of Africa and Special Operations:
A Smarter Way Forward?
Thursday, July 12, 8:30 – 9:30 a.m.
Ranking Member, House Armed Services Committee
This discussion will be on the record
Over the last four years, the counterterrorism fight in the Horn of Africa has expanded dramatically. Most often, this fight has taken the form of special operations forces engaging terrorists or training local militaries. Yet this expansion of forces, and the actions they undertake, is poorly understood. Join us for a discussion with Representative Adam Smith, Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee.
The event will take place at:
1100 New York Ave, NW Washington DC
Suite 710W – Conference Room E
Light refreshments will be served
The discussion will begin promptly at 8:30 a.m. Please arrive by 8:00 a.m. for registration.
We hope you can join us.
Please RSVP by Tuesday, July 10 to events@americansecurityproject.org
Space is limited
