HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES, OVERSIGHT AND INVESTIGATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE, Washington, DC, Wednesday, July 15, 2009. The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 2:05 p.m., in room 2212, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Vic Snyder (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. VIC SNYDER, A REPRESENTA- TIVE FROM ARKANSAS, CHAIRMAN, OVERSIGHT AND INVES- TIGATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE Dr. SNYDER. Hearing will come to order. Mr. Wittman was just finishing a speech on the floor of the House and should be with us momentarily as we go ahead and start. Good afternoon. Welcome to the fourth in a series of hearings on officer in-residence Professional Military Education, known as PME. We have already heard at this subcommittee from the senior- level and intermediate-level schools. Now it is time for the primary- level schools—the Army, Navy, and Air Force academies. The Skelton Panel 20 years ago recognized that the early part of an officer’s career focuses on the tactical realm and what the serv- ices call core competencies, meaning the skill-sets required by a particular warfare specialty. However, it is increasingly apparent, that officer is required to operate in joint interagency, intergovern- mental and multinational environments earlier in their careers. Are officers ready for this new operational reality? What knowl- edge is truly necessary? At what level should we consider these skills as part of and not separate from core competencies? Do we need to redefine service core competencies according to the new na- tional security environment? And we are also interested in the other themes of our earlier hearings relative to this developmental level, foundations for strat- egy, particularly through the study of history, language skills and cultural competency, and hybrid warfare. [The prepared statement of Dr. Snyder can be found in the Ap- pendix on page 41.] Dr. SNYDER. When Mr. Wittman arrives, we will give him a chance to make any comments he wants to make. Our witnesses today are Brigadier General Dana Born, Dean of the Faculty of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan, (1) 2 Dean of the Academic Board, U.S. Military Academy, Rear Admiral (Select) Matthew—is it Klunder? Captain KLUNDER. Yes, sir, Mr. Chairman. Dr. SNYDER. Klunder, Commandant of Midshipmen, U.S. Naval Academy, Colonel Steve Tanous, Commandant U.S. Air Force Squadron Officer College, Colonel Brian Beaudreault, Director of the U.S. Marine Corps Expeditionary Warfare School. We appreciate you all being with us here today. As we get fur- ther and further into this topic, the more interested we get in it and also the more importance we are putting on this look at it. It has been some time since the Congress, I think in either body, has taken a look in some depth at the issue of professional military education and your presence here is very helpful. Your written statements will be part of the formal record of the committee and we will put the clock on there that will fire up a red flare at five minutes, but if you still have things to tell us, you tell us and we will begin—well, we are joined by Mr. Skelton, chairman of the full committee. Mr. Chairman, do you have any comments, do you have any com- ments you want to make? The CHAIRMAN. No, sir. Dr. SNYDER. Okay. We were just going to go to our faculty. Are we going to begin with General Born and go down the row? Mr. WITTMAN. Yes. Dr. SNYDER. General Born, why don’t you go ahead and tell us what you have to say. STATEMENT OF BRIG. GEN. DANA H. BORN, USAF, DEAN OF THE FACULTY, U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY General BORN. Thank you very much. Chairman Snyder, Chairman Skelton, Ranking Member Witt- man, when he arrives, and our distinguished members of the Over- sight and Investigations subcommittee, on behalf of Lieutenant General Mike Gould, our superintendant, Brigadier General Sam Cox and myself, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to address how we prepare our cadets and future officers for the chal- lenges they will face in today’s national security environment. We think it is important that our services continually assess how well we prepare our service members for the challenging roles they must play in serving our Nation, and we appreciate the efforts of this committee to help us meet our current and our future require- ments. Our mission at the Air Force Academy is to educate, train and inspire men and women to become officers of character motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our Nation. We designed our program to meet the developmental needs of young officers in the current national security environment and provide the foundation to grow into future strategic thinkers and leaders through a broad spectrum of academic, athletic, military, and character education and training opportunities. Our four-year program focuses on achieving developmental out- comes that imbue our graduates with societal, professional, and in- dividual responsibilities and empowers them with an integrated set 3 of intellectual and warrior skills and establishes a foundation of knowledge essential to the profession of arms. Our curriculum is acknowledged as among the best in the Na- tion. The U.S. News and World Report ranked us the best in the west for

INTRODUCTION The 2013 International Law Weekend panel discussion, "Teaching International Law Outside Law Schools," was considered by many present to be a novel reflection on the challenges of transplanting a law school-level course in international law to non-law students. At the United States Military Academy' (Academy), an undergraduate institution, the teaching of law, particularly international law, has been a staple of cadet education for almost 200 years. * Professor of Law and Director of the Center for the Rule of Law, United States Military Academy.
