Bio Note:
Heather received her MA in Military History in June 2012 from Norwich University. Her thesis analyzed the 1983 United States involvement in Grenada, otherwise known as Operation Urgent Fury. Her thesis examined the failures of jointness between the US military branches to demonstrate how a small island helped alter the future of military jointness and Department of Defense policy, in the form of the 1986 Goldwater-Nichols Act. Heather presented a portion of this paper at the 2012 Northern Great Plains History Conference. She reviewed Arms and the University: Military Presence and the Civic Education of Non-Military Students for H-Net and has an additional review in progress.
