The United States and many European states can look back on over 200 years of friendly
relations between their armies. In the 18th century, for instance, many European soldiers served
in the American Revolutionary War. In the 20th century, American ground forces were essential
for Europe’s defense during both world wars and especially during the Cold War.
The modern warfare and defense strategies of the 21st century pose new challenges for the U.S.
Army in Europe and the allied forces of the NATO alliance. How do the U.S. Army and NATO
want to respond to these challenges? What role does the U.S. Army and NATO play in Europe
in the 21st century? And “quo vadis”- what will the future hold for the U.S. Army in Europe? The
Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army in Europe, Brigadier General Markus Laubenthal, will analyze
these questions in a keynote speech, moderated discussion, and Q&A with the audience.
Brigadier General Markus Laubenthal became the first multinational
Chief of Staff at U.S. Army in Europe (USAREUR) in 2014, which makes
him the first German general who assumed this role. In 1982 Brig. Gen.
Markus Laubenthal joined the Bundeswehr. From 1983 until 1985, he
successfully completed his Reserve Officer Training at the Army Officer
School in Hannover and his Officer Training at the Armor School in
Munster. After that, he finished the General Staff Officer Course at the
Federal Command and Staff College in Hamburg and earned a Master of
Arts degree in Defense Studies from King’s College in London. Prior to his
assignment as chief of staff of the US army in Europe, Brig. Gen.
Laubenthal served in many other positions, including as the Commander of 12th Panzer Brigade
in Amberg and as head of division in the department of politics in the German Ministry of
Defense
The event will be moderated by Ralph Sina, studio director of the WDR Hörfunkstudio in
Brussels.
Free Admission.
The event will be held in German.
