"Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine: planning, operations, and prospects"
Kevin Benson and Christopher Marsh
Tuesday, June 28 | 3 p.m.

On February 24, 2022, Russia began a war on Ukraine, unleashing brutality on the European continent not seen since 1945. On June 28, two scholars of war; Kevin Benson, Ph.D., Colonel, U.S. Army (ret), and Prof. Chris Marsh, Ph.D., Joint Special Operations University, will assess the Russia-Ukraine war to date and offer their projections on how the war will progress.

For optional pre-reading, read Barry Posen's article<https://doleinstitute.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=971c9a61bc896e4077645661a&id=c5fe909982&e=1ec2f9157d> "Hypotheses on the Implications of the Ukraine-Russia War."

Kevin Benson graduated from West Point in 1977 and served in the U.S. Army for 30 years, retiring in the rank of colonel. He commanded soldiers, served as the lead planner for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and concluded his career as the Director of the School of Advanced Military Studies at Fort Leavenworth, KS. He earned a PhD in American history from KU in 2011 and was also a Dole Fellow in 2011.

Dr. Marsh is Director of the Department of Strategic Research & Analysis at the Joint Special Operations University (JSOU), USSOCOM. He also serves as editor of the Special Operations Journal. Prior to joining JSOU, Marsh taught at the U.S. Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) and Baylor University. He was also an intelligence analyst at the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command. Dr. Marsh is an expert on irregular warfare and Russian & East European studies, having lived and conducted research throughout the region for over 25 years. Dr. Marsh is the author of six books, including the forthcoming Russia’s Special Way of War: Special Operations, Irregular Warfare, and the Grey Zone.

"Bleeding Kansas and British Kaffraria in the 1850s"
Randy Mullis
Thursday, July 7 | 3 p.m.

Many Kansans are familiar with the Bleeding Kansas era of American history in context of American westward expansion. Few, however, may know of a comparable event of British eastward expansion that occurred in modern day South Africa (British Kaffraria) during the 1850s. Dr. Mullis’s presentation assesses select American and British political and military approaches to expansion during the 1850s to identify “common” Western strategic approaches and legacies.

Missing, then Action: An Army Wife Speaks Out
June 14

In June 1965, Kansan Kathleen Johnson received word that her husband, U.S. Army Major Bruce Johnson, was missing in Vietnam. For four years, she waited—then, she sought answers for her three young children. This is her story of love, loss, waiting – and action.

An original exhibit featuring Johnson’s own personal papers, with design led by KU students, Missing is a follow-up to our 2017 exhibit The League of Wives: Vietnam’s POW/MIA Allies & Advocates.

Missing, then Action is made possible by ITC Great Plains and supporters of the 2022 One Day. One KU. giving campaign.
