GoingToMeet

As the “Long War” against worldwide terrorism continues, our Armed Forces remain engaged across the entire spectrum of warfare. Each service continues to strive to attain that elusive balance between maintaining a capable war fighting current force, simultaneously ensuring that they adequately prepare for the future battlefield. With the bulk of our ground forces engaged in stability operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the role of Combat Vehicles has come under intense scrutiny.

This year’s Combat Vehicles Conference is focused on bringing additional clarity to what is believed to be a continued need for combat vehicles in both the Army and the Marine Corps. Features will include two “back by popular demand” highlights from previous conferences: 1) an update on combat operations in Iraq from current warriors; and 2) an assessment of what the future looks like from a retired senior warrior. In addition to these highlights, the conference will include program updates on selected Army and Marine Corps Combat Vehicles from the respective program experts. The agenda also includes a view of how the planning and execution of the RESET efforts are going, as seen by both Industry and Government.

Throughout the conference, there will be opportunities to question and interact with each of the presenters. This is a unique opportunity to enter into a dialogue with both the developers and end users of our Army and Marine Corps combat vehicles. The conference also provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to hear about and participate in defining the future of combat vehicles.
