braithwaite1GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany – The importance of information in war and peace served as the foundation for a talk offered by the U.S. Navy’s vice chief of information here July 23.

Rear Admiral Kenneth J. Braithwaite visited the Marshall Center July 23 following a visit to Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers, Europe in Brussels, Belgium, and the NATO School in Oberammergau.

After an orientation, he spent the afternoon at the Marshall Center, where he offered a presentation for staff and faculty members, speaking about the importance of today’s information policy and its impacts on the battlespace.

“Today, the wars that we find ourselves as a nation involved in are ones where we are hoping to make a difference through the people in that region,” he said. “In so doing, communicating our intent and why we are there is paramount to the success of that operation.”

GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany -- Ghana may not have won the World Cup, but for Lt. Col. Johnson Kofi Akou Adjei, his nation still emerged victorious.

A participant of the Program for Security, Stability, Transition and Reconstruction, Adjei explains that his country’s advancement past the U.S. to the quarterfinals was a symbolic triumph.

“That level of victory shows some form of mature organization, because in chaos you cannot raise a team to come and beat anybody,” Adjei said.

But there is still much work to be done. Adjei said that Ghana faces problems with the economy, tribal disputes and governance in state institutions. However, through his participation in the Marshall Center’s programs, Adjei is learning how to conquer these problems with the help of others.
