Course: 2016FA-MCO-115-401 > Section: Module 16: Government Facilities

United States embassies carry out very important duties and are important to every day operations os the US government. They are also key to national security as they are an initial access point in international relations. US embassies are often overlooked but are a key component to what is mission critical in the US government and necessary critical infrastructure. Try out a couple different locations to get an idea of the vast number of embassies that the United States has around the world.

Visit the U.S. Embassies website. Once you are on the site, click on a location on the world map at the top of your screen. You will then be redirected to a list of embassies and consulates for the area that you have chosen.

Pick one, specific embassy you would like to learn more about and create a discussion board post that tells the rest of the class all about it. Who is the ambassador at that location? What specific challenges do they face as ambassador in that country? Discuss at least one recent, relevant event that relates to homeland security in the United States and/or critical infrastructure. Also, make sure to leave a relevant reply for at least one of your classmates. Let them know of something particularly interesting you found about the embassy they chose, an interconnected story relating to your embassy, or something else relevant to the conversation.
