They spent the second week in Berlin focusing on nuclear deterrence and intra-alliance politics during the Cold War, and the third week in Tallinn, Estonia studying cyber warfare, hybrid warfare, and conventional deterrence in the 21st century. In addition to visiting key historical and educational sites during their travels, the cadets worked through a full course syllabus with daily seminars, earning course credit for Field Studies in Grand Strategy.
