This year’s class expanded on the program’s successful 2015 pilot by opening the opportunity and welcoming participants from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, Republic of Korea Army and Japanese Ground Defense Forces, who benefited from one-on-one interaction with senior military mentors, non-governmental agency representatives, and experts in leadership philosophy and the Asia-Pacific region.
