2022 Fall CORONA Fiction Author

Conduct research to deliver a CORONA Fall 22 narrative and scene setter that gives the audience a shared experience and expose them to the roles the DoD and DAF must play in contributing to a whole of government and allied effort to bend the trajectory of the geostrategic environment in a positive direction. The narrative should consider both current and future states of the geostrategic environment through topics such as economics, climate, information, governance (democracy), military, technology, diplomacy, and demographics under protracted competition with China and the theory that the nucleus of influence for the world's trajectory is the INDOPACIFIC. Produce a 2,000 word narrative in electronic format that can be printed on site for distribution. Produce art work that corresponds to the narrative and scene setter. The US Government would retain licensing rights to reproduce and publish the narrative and art work. The Scene Setter will take place on the afternoon of the first day of the conference (18 Oct 22). It is projected for 3-3.5 hours in three sessions. The first session will cover the narrative and how and why it was written the way it was and conclude with Question and Answer Panel session. The second and third sessions are under development but will likely explore the key trends and themes from the Air Force Global Futures Report and identify ways the US and its Allies and partners can shape the future.
