On Tuesday 21 May, Assistant Professor Maud Quessard, Director of Transtlantic Studies at the Institute for Strategic Research at IRSEM, hosted the IRSEM-US Army War College Annual Conference. This one-day conference in the Chatham House format is part of the curriculum of the Advanced Strategic Art Program (ASAP) for American officers in training. 

It took place during their visit to Europe, where they took part in a staff tour of Sicily and Normandy in the year of D-Day commemorations. During the day, American officers and French researchers from IRSEM had the opportunity to exchange views at three round tables: the first on lessons learned from the war in Ukraine; the second on national mobilisation for war; and the third on strategic autonomy.
