Omar Bradley Fellows Create Solutions for National Security |
Fellows with the Omar Bradley program – which sees senior Army captains complete graduate-level public policy education and assignments with senior DoD staffs – devised solutions to help future command posts operate more securely in a distributed manner during an NSIN Bootcamp session at the Joint Innovation Lab and NSIN Headquarters earlier this month. The fellows will spend their upcoming fall semester refining the solutions they generated in Bootcamp, eventually using the solutions to create policy proposals for their commands.
