Community Briefings
As part our NHDF’s core mission, we seek to educate citizens on the most recent topics - threats, trainings, leadership changes, combat operations, and lessons learned. To accomplish this, NHDF partners with the Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce-Military Affairs Council and the Colorado Thirty Group to bring recent theater commanders to a public forum to share their experiences ,accomplishments, needs, hopes, and outlook for future operations.
