Admiral To Speak At UM
Adm. William J. Fallon, the first naval officer to head
the U.S. Central Command, will talk about Iraq,
Afghanistan and Iran and the challenges the countries
pose to the U.S. at the next installment of the
President's Lecture Series at UM. Fallon will
present "Iraq, Afghanistan and Beyond" at 8
p.m. Monday, Sept. 28, in the University Theatre.
Earlier that day from 3:10 to 4:30 p.m., he will give a
seminar titled "World Energy Security" in Gallagher
Business Building Room 123. Both events are free
and open to the public.
During his 40-year career with the Navy, Fallon led
American and Allied forces in eight separate
commands and played a leadership role in military
and diplomatic matters at the highest level of the U.S.
government. He retired last year amid controversy
that developed over his criticisms of American policies
and attitudes regarding Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran.
On Sept. 11, 2001, Fallon was serving in the Pentagon
as vice chief of the Navy. He was a lead planner in the
retaliatory attacks on Al Qaeda and Taliban forces in
Afghanistan and later served as commander of the
U.S. Atlantic Fleet and U.S. Fleet Forces Command,
which had responsibility for the readiness of U.S.
naval forces worldwide. While heading the U.S.
Central Command during 2007-08, Fallon directed all
U.S. military operations in the Middle East, Central
Asia and the Horn of Africa, focusing on combat
operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Fallon now serves as a Distinguished Senior Fellow
at the Center for Naval Analyses, a federally funded
research and development center serving the
Department of the Navy and other defense agencies.
He also is a Robert Wilhelm Fellow at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for
International Studies.
