Dec 22, 2010 - Anonymous
Beginning in January 2011, ISW will be launching a new weekly email series, ISW in Brief, which will replace our Global News Alert. This new product will provide short weekly updates from our staff on the most important developments in Iraq and Afghanistan, giving you firsthand access to our experts and their analysis. This new analytical product will give you unprecedented insight into the decisions our military commanders and civilian leaders are making every day to preserve America’s security. Our Global News Alerts will pause from December 23rd through January 7th, and our new ISW in Brief, will commence on January 10th.
