This is the podcast of the Joint Advanced Warfighting School (JAWS), a joint war college part of National Defense University. Join us monthly for elite discussions on war, history, theory, strategy, and current national strategy and security concerns.
The Elite professors discuss Operation FORAGER. This World War II operation secured the Northern Marianas Islands of Saipan, Tinian, and Guam in 1944. The islands remain an important strategic asset in the Pacific and JAWS will soon depart for its Field Research Trip to the second island chain.

Jon discusses the evolution of the podcast and introduces the new elite co-host, Dr. Craig Bruce Smith. After wiping the tears from John Manza's departure, Jon and Craig discuss how the lack of understanding history in the United States is leading to a national security crisis. Best of luck Manza!!!
