GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany – Seventy-three students from 50 countries graduated from the Marshall Center’s Program on Terrorism and Security Studies July 30.
The course teaches students to combat terrorist behavior through the study of history and theory, vulnerabilities, financing, security cooperation and the role of law. Students also participated in a week-long field study, which took place in D.C.
Military officers, government officials and police administrators currently working in mid- to upper-level management positions of law enforcement, police and counterterrorism organizations around the globe attend the course.
“We can do one thing better than the enemy can; we can collaborate and harness our forces together to overcome these very difficult challenges,” said graduation speaker Garry Reid, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for special operations and combating terrorism.
