Perspectives in Military History Lecture: Strike Cell

Join us on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., when Major Brennan Deveraux, a U.S. Army strategist serving as a national security researcher at the US Army War College Strategic Studies Institute, will deliver a lecture titled “Strike Cell: Exterminating ISIS during Operation Inherent Resolve” at the United States Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC).

The lecture will explore Major Deveraux’s 2016 deployment to Iraq as the theater-level rocket artillery liaison in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. The presentation covers critical themes of employing emerging technologies, airspace deconfliction on a modern battlefield, collateral damage in urban warfare, the dehumanization of the enemy, and the impact of “virtual warfare” on service members and will conclude looking to the future and a tie-in to modern conflicts from the transparent battlefield to the controversial components of drone strikes.

The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Following the lecture, Major Deveraux will be available for a book signing and Q&A session. For those unable to attend in person, the lecture will be live streamed on Youtube.
