JAWBone with Dr. J and Dr. Craig Jon Mikolashek and Craig Smith

The Elite Ones discuss the upcoming JAWS oral examination that will end the academic year. Plus a great discussion on defining war.

The Elite professors discuss Operation FORAGER. This World War II operation secured the Northern Marianas Islands of Saipan, Tinian, and Guam in 1944. The islands remain an important strategic asset in the Pacific and JAWS will soon depart for its Field Research Trip to the second island chain.
