The One CA Podcast Civil Affairs Association

Please welcome Angie Smith, environmental Scientist and Civil Affairs Officer. 
Angie and her team travel globally to partner nations to assess resource use and advise on sustainable development. 
Her team has helped countries like the Marshal Islands with resource management to mitigate climate change. In this episode, Angie will talk about her trade, and how it helps the U.S. build foreign relations with the international community.
In a future episode, she will return with their new partner, Wisconsin University.

Welcome to One CA Podcast. This episode is from the archives. The former host, John McElligott traveled to AUSA in 2018 and interviewed participants on Civil Affairs. It's a quick episode, but a fun one for the Veteran's Memorial Weekend.

Recently, I organized a panel discussion on Taiwan with the Joint Staff SMA program (Strategic Multilayer Assessment), which is similar to a think tank but within the DOD. 
They bring in people to present their work and discuss national security.
I had reached out to Dan Blumenthal and Fred Kagan at the American Enterprise Institute and thought it would be good to include SMA in the discussion. 
Mariah Yager is running the SMA portion, and I am guiding the discussion. This is a two-part episode, so enjoy.
