Introduction
This is the fourteenth consecutive year NDIA has sponsored the Expeditionary Warfare Conference (EWC). The conference continues to grow in importance to both industry and DoD attendees. The conference has a sustained level of attendance at over 600, including over 50 active duty, retired flag and general officers and their civilian equivalents.
The objectives of the EWC are to provide:
- An opportunity for the Services to provide clear statements of their requirements and intent to industry, service laboratories and other interested parties
- An opportunity for frank dialogue among the military services, industry and other attendees
- A celebration of the atmosphere of trust and cooperation that exists between the military services and industry
This conference continues to serve as the premier venue for Defense and Industry Expeditionary Warfare Leaders to assemble each year and discuss the issues and challenges facing the forces of today and tomorrow. This year, the conference will examine issues related to “Expeditionary Warfare in a Complex Joint Operating Environment.” Our sessions will focus on A Review of QDR Impacts on the Roles/Missions of the Land and Naval Forces; EXWAR Challenges/Way Ahead in the Future JOE; Achieving the Right Capability Balance; Industry/Small Business Adaptation to the New National Security Focus; and Balancing Resources in Support of EXWAR in Complex JOE. Join us to discuss the myriad of issues that will continue to affect security challenges of the 21st Century.
