The UNC system and the U.S. Army Special Operations Command are partnering to share expertise.
The two agencies will announce their partnership Thursday morning during UNC system Board of Governors meetings. UNC officials are billing the relationship as a "collaborative partnership" allowing the military and academic communities to share expertise and interest in national security.
Army Special Operations is headquartered at Ft. Bragg near Fayetteville. It is charged with the full range of special operations from unconventional warfare to civil-military operations, according to a UNC news release.
The working agreement between the two agencies will encourage: the exchange of medical, culture, language and management negotiation training instructors; business school suppor for an Army course; degree opportunities for soldiers and their spouses and families; a relationship with UNC-sponsored Fulbright Scholars, and other initiatives.
