Professor Larry McCabe, National Security Affairs Department, recently conducted a two-day seminar on international relations and geopolitics, Nov. 10-11, at the Escuela Naval Almirante Padilla (ENAP), the Colombian Navy’s command & staff school located in Cartagena, Colombia. The workshop is one of a series of NWC engagements in support of U.S. Naval Forces South, U.S. Southern Command and the U.S. Embassy’s security goals and objectives in a key United States ally in South America. The relationship between NWC and the Colombia school has been rewarding for both. RADM Romero Rojas, the Director of the Colombian school said,“As Colombia expands its global footprint, ENAP must expand the global awareness of our students. The Naval War College is the perfect partner to help us do this.” The Naval War College supports USSOUTHCOM and USNAVSOUTH theater engagement plan’s throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. NWC War Gaming and International Law Departments as well as Strategy & Policy and National Security Affairs Departments conduct various engagement activities in over 12 countries in the region.
