TILT-C Course Introduction
Today’s leaders need a new way to think about and address irregular aspects of competition and conflict. The current problem-solving techniques and planning models are not adequate for addressing the depth of irregular challenges facing the nation. TILT-C is an innovative design thinking program that will foster a paradigm shift in the way leaders think about and confront these Irregular challenges.

TILT-C
Transformational Irregular Warfare Leaders Thought Course (TILT-C).
TILT-C Purpose:
Develop select senior US Government leaders from across the departments and agencies to collectively understand and apply irregular warfare as both a tool of US policy (including policy design and implementation via the execution of strategies and campaigns), as well as its uses by near-peer adversaries against the US. This five-day course uses dynamic and hands-on real-world IW problems to allow participants to design policies, strategies, or campaigns.
