“Those are the tactical level we are moving to the strategic. But the mean thing is the operational level. We hear of operation Last-Code, Lafyadol these are the areas that decide the outcome of the security challenges.
“So when they come they will use the language people understand research and go back to the field.”

He, urged the participant to channel their interest in the interagency package of the course, saying, “as most contemporary operations require interagency collaboration to succeed.”
