Advertisement
You are invited to a Distinguished Speaker Series dinner event on October 14, 2026, at JW Crancer's in downtown Leavenworth, Kansas (530 Delaware St.). A reception with cash bar begins at 5:30 p.m., the buffet dinner starts at 6 p.m. and the presentation will begin at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $35/person in advance or $40/person at the door.
In this installment of our Distinguished Speaker Series, Col. (Ret.) Gregory Fontenot will discuss Lariat Advance: Insights from the Cold War for the Twenty-First Century, an anthology he co-created with Pat O’Neal, Mike Shaler, and the late Lon “Bert” Maggart. Named for the Army’s no-notice alert system that required units in Europe to reach combat readiness within two hours, Lariat Advance chronicles how relentless practice and evolving doctrine forged what the book calls an “Army of Practice” — the force that won the Gulf War and validated its transformation again in 2003. Written by fifteen distinguished contributors who lived this era, the anthology offers lessons on readiness and institutional reform that remain relevant as today’s Army reshapes for future strategic competition.
