The Association of the United States Army Institute of Land Warfare (AUSA ILW) will produce an unclassified Global Force symposium for members of industry and the military community at the Von Braun Center, Huntsville, Alabama from 15-17 March 2016.
The three-day event will include featured presentations from the United States Army Materiel Command, the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology).
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE
In today’s complex and rapidly changing operational environment, preparing for the future remains challenging. In that context, the Army launched its operating concept focused on driving innovation to meet the future unknowns. These innovation requirements must optimize prioritization of Army capabilities and resourcing allocation, while increasing material capabilities. In turn, allowing the Army to become a more agile and responsive force to face that unknown.
The 2016 AUSA ILW Global Force Symposium & Exposition will explore the capabilities outlined in the Army Operating Concept and how the force transforms from being adaptive to driving innovation for Force 2025 and beyond. Special guest presentations coupled with panel discussions from our senior military and industry leaders, addresses critical points of acquisition, research and development, and partnering between military and industry. For the Army this means restructuring military-industrial programs. The Army must take a hard look at its acquisition processes, with an eye towards the future, in order to continue maintaining a competitive overmatch against potential adversaries.
The Army is about people – it’s most precious resource – representing the nation’s best. What our future force requires is a well-led, well-trained, and well-equipped Army. History highlights the effectiveness of our Army leaders and our training. With industry, academic, and Army partnered innovation, the Army will remain the best equipped fighting force in the world. A force that is able to meet the Nations security requirements at home and abroad wherever, whenever, and for as long as it takes.
