Highlights
- Roughly 50 U.S. military leaders from all branches met at ASU's Tempe campus this week.
- The gathering focused on how to prepare future military personnel to learn, adapt, and lead faster.
- ASU has an earlier, related collaboration with the Army on modernizing military learning, per prior ASU reporting.
Roughly 50 leaders from across every branch of the U.S. military gathered at Arizona State University in Tempe this week to address a single question: how do America's armed forces prepare personnel to learn, adapt, and lead at the speed of change, according to an ASU news release published Aug. 12.
The convening builds on a pattern of deepening ties between ASU and the defense establishment. In March, ASU News reported that the U.S. Army enlisted the university to help modernize military learning, with ASU described as working "side by side helping to rethink how the Army educates, trains and innovates around learning." A separate ASU release from that period noted the university is "aligning faculty expertise to support national security priorities."
No agenda, outcomes, or named participants from this week's gathering were included in the Aug. 12 release. The next public signal on the collaboration's scope will likely come through follow-on ASU announcements or federal contract disclosures.
