SUMMARY:Fort Leavenworth: Ethan Rafuse: “Hybrid War in the Shenandoah in 1864”
DESCRIPTION:Defense analysts have identified the emergence of “hybrid warfare” as a compelling threat to American national security and declared it one of the more notable developments of the first decade of the 21st century. Of course\, while the label may be new\, hybrid warfare is not new in the human experience. This talk will discuss Union operations in the Shenandoah Valley in 1864\, using it as a case study of a specific campaign in the Civil War where both conventional and unconventional operations were significant factors. It examines Sheridan’s efforts\, the particular dynamics and challenges he confronted\, and the factors that enabled him to prevail. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibit: Missing\, Then Action: An Army Wife Speaks out
DESCRIPTION:In June 1965\, Kansan Kathleen Johnson received word that her husband\, U.S. Army Major Bruce Johnson was missing. \nFor four years\, she waited—then\, she sought answers for her three young children. This is her story of love\, loss\, waiting – and action. \nKathleen Johnson of Salina\, Kansas was a founding member of the National League of Families of Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia. These brave military wives from across the country spoke out\, against government policy\, to seek recognition\, answers\, and accounting for their prisoner of war (POW) and missing in action (MIA) husbands during Vietnam. Some national leaders\, including Senator Bob Dole\, became fervent advocates for them in the halls of the U.S. government. \nThis special exhibit is made possible by ITC Great Plains. \n

SUMMARY:From Dependents to Interdependence: The Army Officer's Wife Ideal and the Making of Army Family Policy
DESCRIPTION:Historian Mary McMurray will contextualize the activism of POW/MIA wives with the changing roles and expectations of the Army wife in the 20th century. Using military guidebooks and other sources directed at military spouses\, Mary places Army spouses at the center of systemic changes in the Army. Her presentation\, followed by audience Q&A\, will cover the period from the beginning of World War II\, with the old saying\, “if the Army wanted you to have a wife\, they would have issued you one\,” to 1983\, with the release of the Army Family White Paper that called for policies and practices to support the interdependence of families and the military. \nMary McMurray is the Director of the Johnson County Museum\, which just earned national accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums. Mary holds degrees in history from MU (Bachelors)\, UMKC (Masters)\, and KU (Doctorate). She is passionate about civic engagement and using lessons from the past to inspire\, empower\, and embolden people to make a brighter future. Prior to her role at the Johnson County Museum\, Mary worked in various roles for two presidential library foundations and as Superintendent of Historic Sites and Outdoor Education for Jackson County.  \nJune 16 at 2 p.m. in Simons Media Room
