REDSTONE ARSENAL, Alabama – In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Army does not stop its missions and operations, including educating and training its future officers.
On April 29, Lt. Gen. Daniel L. Karbler, commanding general, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, and Dr. Steve Pierce, USASMDC chief technology officer, were remote guest speakers for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.
Karbler planned to visit West Point in person, but the school switched to conducting classes remotely amid the pandemic. He spoke via videoconference from his home office to two space physics classes, instructed by Lt. Col. Diana Loucks, West Point professor, the Research Program director, and director of the Space and Missile Defense Command Research and Analysis Center in the Department of Physics and Nuclear Engineering.
