The United States Military Academy (USMA) Senior Conference is run
annually by the Department of Social Sciences at the United States
Military Academy on behalf of the Superintendent. This event allows
distinguished representatives from the private sector, government,
academia, the think-tank community, and the joint military services
to discuss important national security topics. Senior Conference
2014, the 50th iteration of this event, explored emerging trends
and their implications for the Army's strategic contribution to
national security. As policymakers strive to rebalance U.S.
national security investments in a fiscally constrained
environment, debates about the future roles and missions of the
armed services have intensified. Though many questions related to
the future role of military power remain unsettled, the Army will
undoubtedly have an important role to play.
