say it's a bit it's a bit daunting to be standing on this side of the podium as opposed to sitting out in the audiences where i usually am for this incredible institution, as james said, my name is nikki, and tonight i would like to talk with you about something that is incredibly important to the life that i have led for the last 20 years. as a soldier. but more importantly, to talk about an amazing insight into this constantly evolving and changing world, where i work, which is an us army doctrine. i have a fierce love and passion for what we produce out of the army more importantly, because more than just writing books or putting words down on paper, it's an opportunity to share the body of knowledge with new readers, to reach a whole new audience, especially in these changing and sometimes socially difficult times. it's an incredibly important work that we do. so i'm happy to share this incredible chance to talk with you tonight here in this amazing museum. and i promise you, if you're wondering out in the audience or if you're wondering out online whether or not this will ever relate back to world war one or operation somewhere in the european theater world
