Earlier this year, we chatted with Julian Werner, an infantry officer in the German Bundeswehr's EGB (Specialized Army Forces), a SOF unit comparable to the US Army Rangers. In addition, he's a research fellow at the Center for Intelligence and Security Studies at the University of the Bundeswehr in Munich. An exemplar of the "warrior-scholar" archetype, Julian spoke with us about everything from shoothouses to strategic-level defense policy issues in an uncertain age for the transatlantic alliance.
