Two from IU McKinney Take Part in Task Force Spartan Exchange with Jordanian Military Judges
10/18/2019
Captain Kevin Sitler, '10, of Indianapolis, and Captain Alex Whitted, '12, of Columbus, were part of a legal exchange with military judges from Jordan as part of Task Force Spartan. The meeting took place in September 2019.
The focus was on sharing best practices between the two legal corps. The presentations were designed to foster a deeper understanding of how each country approaches complex legal issues. Task Force Spartan maintains a U.S. military posture in southwest Asia sufficient to strengthen defense relationships, build partnerships, and deter regional aggression.
More than 600 soldiers of the Indiana National Guard's 38th Infantry Division serve in the Middle East supporting the task force and providing leadership, command, control, and in-depth staff analysis for Operation Spartan Shield.
