The Road Ahead - Michael Jordan, vice president of Service to the Armed Forces & International Services 

We have entered a new global era. Conflict crisis has evolved. Today there are over a hundred major conflicts ongoing and unlike the long wars of Afghanistan and Iraq where the U.S. maintained dominance and mainly fought insurgencies, we are now facing evolving conflict risk with peer adversaries. 

Michael will share how, given its charter and legacy, the American Red Cross is preparing for the road ahead.

    The Road Ahead



    Michael Jordan

    Vice President of Service to the Armed Forces & International Services

    American Red Cross


    Thursday, September 11, 12:00 p.m. ET


    We have entered a new global era. Conflict crisis has evolved such that a decade ago there may have been a couple dozen major conflicts ongoing around the world. Today there are over a hundred major conflicts ongoing and unlike the long wars of Afghanistan and Iraq where the U.S. maintained dominance and mainly fought insurgencies, we are now facing evolving conflict risk with peer adversaries. 


    In this month’s webinar, Dr. Michael Jordan will share how, given its charter and legacy, the American Red Cross is preparing for the road ahead.

     

    After a distinguished career of service and leadership, Michael is retiring from the American Red Cross. He brought extraordinary contributions to the mission—and unwavering commitment to supporting military-connected communities. He has a legacy of compassionate service, helping the Red Cross provide critical support to service members, veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors—in the moments that matter most.

    Even War Has Rules

    International Humanitarian Law Class

    Armed conflicts are ongoing around the world. At times it may seem that there are no rules in war. However, there are rules in war, and they make a difference. Even War Has Rules is a dynamic discussion on international humanitarian law (IHL) and how it governs armed conflict. By the end of the class, participants will achieve a general understanding of IHL and will be better able to evaluate the actions of parties to armed conflicts.
