Biography
Dr. Ross teaches graduate-level courses related to homeland security, homeland defense, national security, terrorism studies, counterterrorism, emergency & disaster management, and intelligence analysis. Dr. Ross completed his Doctor of Management degree in Homeland Security at Colorado Technical University. He published his dissertation titled: A Phenomenological Study of U.S. Army Special Forces Senior Noncommissioned Officer Leadership Strategies during the Global War on Terror. Dr. Ross is particularly interested in the Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) role in the overarching U.S. Homeland Security Enterprise (HSE). Furthermore, he is interested in the U.S. Special Operations Forces’ (SOF) future responsibilities in asymmetric, irregular, unconventional, or gray zone conflicts and how they relate to future great power conflicts with near-peer states. Dr. Ross is currently exploring themes related to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian Conflict, the future of Unconventional Warfare in U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets), and topics related to post-GWOT Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) in SOF populations.
