142: Scott DeJesse and the new Monuments Men and Women

The One CA Podcast

Today we welcome Colonel Scott DeJesse, who is rebuilding the US Army Civil Affairs monuments program. Dejesse is an Army Reservist who works at the Department of State in cultural diplomacy.

For the monuments program, Dejesse is partnering with the Smithsonian Institute, The Met in New York, academic institutions and others to revitalize and develop CA teams who can work in crisis and conflict to protect a nation's cultural heritage.

We brought Scott in today to talk about the monuments program, its tie to the Civil Affairs 38 G program, and cultural diplomacy's impact on national security, so please welcome him to the show
