The Melting Point: High Command and War in the 21st Century

Join us on Monday, February 3rd, 2025, at 6:30pm for a Special Lecture at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center by General Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., United States Marine Corps (Retired).

As the Commander of U.S. Central Command, General Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., USMC (Ret.), oversaw some of the most important — and controversial operations in modern U.S. military history. He had direct operational responsibility for the strikes on Qasem Soleimani and two successive leaders of ISIS, the many months of deterrence operations against Iran and its proxies, and the methodical drawdown in Iraq. He directed the noncombatant evacuation operation in Afghanistan and our final withdrawal from that tortured country.

Our doors open at 6:00 pm EST and the lecture will be followed by a question-and-answer session. The event is free and open to the public and will include book sales and signing by General McKenzie at the end of the program.

The event will also be livestreamed.
