Business Council|language=en-US}}</ref>
At a workshop at [[Rand|RAND]] in October 2019, Mulroy officially rolled out the IWA, saying it was a critical component of the 2018 NDS. He noted that [[irregular warfare]] (IW) included [[counter-insurgency]] (COIN), [[counter-terrorism]] (CT), [[unconventional warfare]] (UW), [[foreign internal defense]] (FID), [[sabotage]] and [[subversion]], [[stabilization (warfare)]], and [[information operations]] (IO). He continued that IW had been perceived as limited to the CT effort used to fight violent extremist organizations but should be applied to all competition areas, including the great powers of China and Russia and the rogue states of North Korea and Iran. Mulroy said that the U.S. must be prepared to respond with "aggressive, dynamic, and unorthodox approaches to IW" to be competitive across these priorities.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Monica|first=1776 Main Street Santa|last2=California 90401-3208|title=NSRD Hosts Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East, Michael Mulroy|url=https://www.rand.org/nsrd/news/2019/10/dasd-mulroy.html|access-date=2021-05-20|website=www.rand.org|language=en}}</ref>

===== ''My Star in the Sky'' =====
[[File:Yale_Screening_"My_Star_in_the_Sky".jpg|thumb|right|Yale University Screening]]
Mulroy is a co-maker along with [[United States Navy SEALs|U.S. Navy SEAL]] Eric Oehlerich, of the documentary, ''My Star in the Sky'', which in the Acholi language is “Lakalatwe.” Foreign Policy reports that the documentary came about after Mulroy and Oehlerich met the Opoka's during [[Operation Observant Compass]] (OOC).<ref name="foreignpolicy_2019-11-08" /> Mulroy called OOC a “model” for how to address child soldiers using influence operations instead of lethal force and working with Non-Government Organizations (NGOs)s who found mothers of child soldiers and had them broadcast messages over the radio to come home. Mulroy said that he hopes that OOC serves as a model for future programs to address child soldiers, as well as other operations, as it showed how the U.S. military could use “soft power, influence operations” and other aspects of so-called “irregular warfare” to fight the problem.<ref name="foreignpolicy_2019-11-08" />

===== The Grassroots Reconciliation Group =====

=== Comments ===
In an interview for the podcast ''Frog Logic'', a podcast primarily for the special operations community, Mulroy said, "I don’t think anyone became a Marine, or a SEAL, or a [CIA] paramilitary officer with the idea that they were going to fight a child.”<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Froglogic Podcast: Froglogic Podcast EP #39 Michael Mulroy & Eric Oehlerich CIA PMCO And Navy SEAL Help Child Soldiers on Apple Podcasts|url=https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/froglogic-podcast-ep-39-michael-mulroy-eric-oehlerich/id1071889417?i=1000475362356|access-date=2020-08-10|website=Apple Podcasts|language=en-us}}</ref>
During an interview with [[Lawfare]], Mulroy explained that the U.S. has a law called the [[Child Soldiers Prevention Act]] that was passed unanimously by the U.S. Congress. This law bans the U.S. from providing military assistance to countries that use children as soldiers. Mulroy said that the U.S. had to hold its partners to the same standard as it holds its adversaries. He further explained an estimated 100,000 children are fighting in over 18 countries around the world and that child soldiers’ use in the Middle East doubled in 2019. Mulroy said, ''"this is a problem that every adult should care about."''<ref>{{Cite web|title=Middle East Focus: Child soldiers in the Middle East|url=https://middleeastinst.libsyn.com/child-soldiers-in-the-middle-east|access-date=2021-05-20|website=middleeastinst.libsyn.com|language=en}}</ref>
== Philosophy ==
Mulroy is a proponent of [[Stoicism|Stoic philosophy]]. In an essay in [[Modern Stoicism]] entitled, “A Case for the Philosopher King,” Mulroy advocated for a return of teaching virtue ethics in school and modeling examples of those that should be emulated like [[Marcus Aurelius]], [[James Stockdale]], [[John Lewis]], among others. He did this after citing the precipitous decline in the confidence Americans have in one another.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Sadler|first=Author Gregory|date=2020-09-26|title=A Case for a Philosopher-King by Michael Patrick Mulroy|url=https://modernstoicism.com/a-case-for-a-philosopher-king-by-michael-patrick-mulroy/|access-date=2021-05-26|website=Modern Stoicism|language=en-CA}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=Mick Mulroy, Philosopher Kings, Ethics, and Wisdom - Modern Stoicism Podcast|url=https://www.buzzsprout.com/882808/5811064-mick-mulroy-philosopher-kings-ethics-and-wisdom|access-date=2021-05-26}}</ref>

The DASD for the Middle East is a member of the [[Senior Executive Service]] in the Secretary of Defense's office.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://dod.defense.gov/News/News-Releases/News-Release-View/Article/1345291/senior-executive-service-announcements/ |title=Senior Executive Service Announcements |website=U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE |access-date=May 5, 2019}}</ref> Mulroy was responsible for DoD policy and for representing the DoD in the interagency for the countries of [[Bahrain]], [[Egypt]], [[Israel]], [[Iran]], [[Iraq]], [[Jordan]], [[Kuwait]], [[Lebanon]], [[Oman]], [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]], [[Qatar]], [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Syria]], [[United Arab Emirates]] and [[Yemen]].<ref name="defense.gov1"/><ref name="auto11"/> As DASD for the Middle East, Mulroy was responsible for implementing the [[National Defense Strategy (United States)|National Defense Strategy of 2018]] in that region and the Irregular Warfare Annex (IWA) to that strategy.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-04-19|title=U.S.-U.A.E.

Business Council|language=en-US}}</ref>
At a workshop at [[Rand|RAND]] in October 2019, Mulroy officially rolled out the IWA, saying it was a critical component of the 2018 NDS. He noted that [[irregular warfare]] (IW) included [[counter-insurgency]] (COIN), [[counter-terrorism]] (CT), [[unconventional warfare]] (UW), [[foreign internal defense]] (FID), [[sabotage]] and [[subversion]], [[stabilization (warfare)]], and [[information operations]] (IO). He continued that IW had been perceived as limited to the CT effort used to fight violent extremist organizations but should be applied to all competition areas, including the great powers of China and Russia and the rogue states of North Korea and Iran. Mulroy said that the U.S. must be prepared to respond with "aggressive, dynamic, and unorthodox approaches to IW" to be competitive across these priorities.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Monica|first=1776 Main Street Santa|last2=California 90401-3208|title=NSRD Hosts Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East, Michael Mulroy|url=https://www.rand.org/nsrd/news/2019/10/dasd-mulroy.html|access-date=2021-05-20|website=www.rand.org|language=en}}</ref>

===== ''My Star in the Sky'' =====
[[File:Yale_Screening_"My_Star_in_the_Sky".jpg|thumb|right|Yale University Screening]]
Mulroy is a co-maker along with [[United States Navy SEALs|U.S. Navy SEAL]] Eric Oehlerich, of the documentary, ''My Star in the Sky'', which in the Acholi language is “Lakalatwe.” Foreign Policy reports that the documentary came about after Mulroy and Oehlerich met the Opoka's during [[Operation Observant Compass]] (OOC).<ref name="foreignpolicy_2019-11-08" /> Mulroy called OOC a “model” for how to address child soldiers using influence operations instead of lethal force and working with Non-Government Organizations (NGOs)s who found mothers of child soldiers and had them broadcast messages over the radio to come home. Mulroy said that he hopes that OOC serves as a model for future programs to address child soldiers, as well as other operations, as it showed how the U.S. military could use “soft power, influence operations” and other aspects of so-called “irregular warfare” to fight the problem.<ref name="foreignpolicy_2019-11-08" />

===== The Grassroots Reconciliation Group =====
Mulroy is on the Board of Directors for the Grassroots Reconciliation Group (GRG).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Board of Directors|url=http://grassrootsgroup.org/about/board-of-directors/|access-date=2020-08-10|website=grassrootsgroup.org}}</ref> GRG was initiated as part of a [[United States Agency for International Development]] (USAID)-funded program called the Northern Uganda Peace Initiative (NUPI) to reconcile and rehabilitate former child soldiers of Joseph Kony's LRA.
=== Comments ===
In an interview for the podcast ''Frog Logic'', a podcast primarily for the special operations community, Mulroy said, "I don’t think anyone became a Marine, or a SEAL, or a [CIA] paramilitary officer with the idea that they were going to fight a child.”<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Froglogic Podcast: Froglogic Podcast EP #39 Michael Mulroy & Eric Oehlerich CIA PMCO And Navy SEAL Help Child Soldiers on Apple Podcasts|url=https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/froglogic-podcast-ep-39-michael-mulroy-eric-oehlerich/id1071889417?i=1000475362356|access-date=2020-08-10|website=Apple Podcasts|language=en-us}}</ref>
During an interview with [[Lawfare]], Mulroy explained that the U.S. has a law called the [[Child Soldiers Prevention Act]] that was passed unanimously by the U.S. Congress. This law bans the U.S. from providing military assistance to countries that use children as soldiers. Mulroy said that the U.S. had to hold its partners to the same standard as it holds its adversaries. He further explained an estimated 100,000 children are fighting in over 18 countries around the world and that child soldiers’ use in the Middle East doubled in 2019. Mulroy said, ''"this is a problem that every adult should care about."''<ref>{{Cite web|title=Middle East Focus: Child soldiers in the Middle East|url=https://middleeastinst.libsyn.com/child-soldiers-in-the-middle-east|access-date=2021-05-20|website=middleeastinst.libsyn.com|language=en}}</ref>
== Philosophy ==
Mulroy is a proponent of [[Stoicism|Stoic philosophy]]. In an essay in [[Modern Stoicism]] entitled, “A Case for the Philosopher King,” Mulroy advocated for a return of teaching virtue ethics in school and modeling examples of those that should be emulated like [[Marcus Aurelius]], [[James Stockdale]], [[John Lewis]], among others. He did this after citing the precipitous decline in the confidence Americans have in one another.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Sadler|first=Author Gregory|date=2020-09-26|title=A Case for a Philosopher-King by Michael Patrick Mulroy|url=https://modernstoicism.com/a-case-for-a-philosopher-king-by-michael-patrick-mulroy/|access-date=2021-05-26|website=Modern Stoicism|language=en-CA}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=Mick Mulroy, Philosopher Kings, Ethics, and Wisdom - Modern Stoicism Podcast|url=https://www.buzzsprout.com/882808/5811064-mick-mulroy-philosopher-kings-ethics-and-wisdom|access-date=2021-05-26}}</ref>
