The 2015 AUSA Institute of Land Warfare Global Force Symposium and Exposition returns to Huntsville’s Von Braun Center March 31-April 2, bringing together AUSA members, Army leaders and industry to address this year’s theme, “Win in a Complex World.” “The symposium is a high-value, cost-effective, multifaceted perspective of the Army as it faces its future, and it provides a wonderful opportunity for engagement of Army to Army, Army to other agency folks, and Army to industry — what is industry doing to support the Army of the future?” said retired Lt. Gen. Roger Thompson, AUSA’s vice president of membership and meetings. “This will be an opportunity for people to understand how industry plays a key and vital role. Folks can come in, check out the Army, see what industry is doing for the Army, listen to presentations from a variety of senior leaders, as well as network and interact with each other.” Open to all AUSA members, employees and consultants of AUSA member companies, military and civilian government personnel, and non-members who have an interest or identifiable relationship with AUSA or the Army, the unclassified symposium will give attendees the opportunity be part of a discussion on the ways the Army can “become a more agile and response force to face the unknown.” There is no cost for government or military to attend. One only needs to turn on the news to understand the complexities the Army is facing today, and the meaning behind the theme, “Win in a Complex World.” “The Army deployed to West Africa for the ebola outbreak — that wasn’t on the Army’s list of known missions,” Thompson said. “You’ve got the resurgence of enemy action, especially in Iraq, but also in the broader world out there. You’ll find that Army missions go from disaster relief all the way up to long term combat operations – and the threats are emerging from non-traditional sources. The Army’s got to describe how they’re going to approach that and how they’re going to be successful. The meaning behind “Winning in a Complex World” takes on a variety of things unknown and known in Army missions.” Presentations will be given by Gen. Raymond Odierno, chief of staff of the Army; Heidi Shyu, assistant secretary of the Army for acquisition, logistics and technology; Joseph F. Martin, acting director for research and development partnerships for the Department of Homeland Security; Gen. David Perkins, commanding general of the Army Training and Doctrine Command; Gen. Dennis Via, commanding general of the Army Materiel Command; Lt. Gen. Frederick Hodges, commanding general of United States Army Europe; and Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster Jr., deputy command general, futures/director, Army Capabilities Integration Center, Army Training and Doctrine Command. Many other leaders and experts from Army, as well as industry and academia are also scheduled to participate. The featured command for 2015 is the Army Training and Doctrine Command. Panel topic discussions include: Army warfighting challenges, increasing the rate of innovation, S&T driving innovation for the Force 2025 and beyond, and sustaining Army readiness to “Win in a Complex World.” “This Army Operating Concept lays out 20 warfighting challenges, across a broad array of categories of threats and requirements for new capabilities or strengthening capabilities, the challenges of science and technology, research and development, innovation, interaction between Army and other services, as well as Army and other governmen agencies — all those will be addressed as part of this,” Thompson said. “Industry’s challenges in innovation, how the Army innovates, and th implications of the Department of Defense’s acquisition and technology approaches, such as Better Buying Power 3.0 will be issues that should be addressed as some part of the discussions. “The big ‘gorilla in the closet’ for the Army and for the United State is the devastating budget cuts known as sequestration, which is scheduled to be reinstated by the Congress of the United States on the 1st of October, unless something is done. This is among the many topics and challenges that will be addressed this year, because it destructively undermines Army strength and readiness.” Over 200 exhibitors have registered for the event; there is no cost to attend the exhibit hall. The symposium will also include an innovation pavilion, which will provide the opportunity for innovators to network with one another, and learn about how their work may be one day rolled out to the Army. This year’s symposium will provide many takeaways for attendees, Thompson said. “They will be more informed about Army strategy in these topic areas, and can gain an in-depth understanding of the complex environment, and the way forward,” Thompson said. “It’ll be important to understand Army, Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security roles, views and approaches and the impact of sequestration. This event will highlight the role innovation plays and how can innovators bring their ideas and unique approaches to the Army.” For more information about this year’s symposium, visit http://ausa meetings.org/globalforce/. 2015 AUSA Institute of Land Warfare Global Force Symposium and Exposition is a publication of the Redstone-Huntsville Chapter of the Association of the United States Army.

The Rocket City Bash is an evening of networking and fun for the members, sponsors, and friends of the Redstone-Huntsville AUSA chapter.

Starting with a social hour, the Bash includes an excellent buffet dinner, good table conversation, and the live music from ‘The Party Band of the South’.

The entertainment also included watching The Swinging Medallion saxophonist play a song upside down. Transportation to the Bash is provided free from the Von Braun Center. The dress code is casual. Sponsorships and individual tickets are rapidly being purchased and won’t be available long – last year’s Bash was sold out.

The command’s complex missions range from development of sophisticated weapons systems and cutting-edge research, to maintenance and distribution of spare parts. AMC operates the research, development and engineering centers; Army Research Laboratory; depots, arsenals and ammunition plants; and maintains the Army’s Prepositioned Stocks, both on land and afloat. The command is the Department of Defense Executive Agent for the chemical weapons stockpile and for conventional ammunition. To develop, buy, and maintain materiel for the Army, AMC works closely with Program Executive Officers, the Army acquisition executive, industry, academia, and other related agencies. AMC also handles the majority of the Army’s contracting including a full range of contracting services for deployed units and installation-level services, supplies, and common-use information technology hardware and software. With the only contingency contracting capability in DoD, AMC accounts for 70 percent of the Army’s contract dollars. The command leads, manages, and operates the Army’s Organic Industrial Base.

The command handles diverse missions that reach far beyond the Army. For example, AMC manages the multibillion-dollar business of selling Army equipment and services to partner nations and allies of the United States, and negotiates and implements agreements for co-production of U.S. weapons systems by foreign nations. AMC includes global transportation experts who provide the Warfighter with a single surface distribution provider for adaptive solutions that deliver capability and sustainment on time. The AMC Science and Technology program develops, integrates and sustains unique science, technology and engineering solutions to ensure the Army and Joint Forces have a competitive advantage.

This is why AUSA has chosen ‘Win in a Complex World’ as the theme for this year’s professional development forum. This is the second year that the symposium is being held in Huntsville, Alabama. Last year’s event was a tremendous success, with attendance of over 6,000 exhibitors and participants. Of the 2014 attendees, 28% were from military and government organizations. For 2015, AUSA is expecting an even larger turnout. The Global Force Symposium will be 31 March to 2 April 2015, at the Von Braun Center in downtown Huntsville. The location, near AMC Headquarters Association of the United States Army Institute of Land Warfare GLOBAL FORCE SYMPOSIUM AND EXPOSITION “Win in a Complex World” 31 March – 2 April and Redstone Arsenal, allows for maximum participation for military, civilian, and industry attendees. This year’s Symposium will include key leaders and personnel from TRADOC, ASA (ALT), AMC, SMDC, AMCOM, AMRDEC, as well as many other organizations. The three-day Symposium will include panel discussions covering a variety of topics and presentations from Army military, civilian, and industry leaders. The Exhibit Hall presents opportunities for industry and government exchanges and focused forums. Army Warfighting Challenges, Increasing the Rate of Innovation, and Force 2025 and Beyond Maneuvers are examples of the topics for the panel discussions. The list of presenters includes the Chief of Staff of the Army, the AMC Commanding General, the TRADOC Commanding General, and the ASA (ALT). The featured command for th 2015 Symposium is TRADOC. AUSA’s 2015 Global Force Symposium and Exhi bition is a professional military forum that will provide military and industry organizations the opportunity to exchange information and to dialog about future Army capabilities and needs, and industry’s technological capabilities and advancements. AUSA and its industry partners share a common goal with the Army: to develop a Force 2025 and beyond tha can ‘Win in a Complex World’. 755739 How must the Army re-form itself to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing global situation? With unknown enemies and worldwide potential locales for engagements, this difficult and ever changing environment demands an Army that is adaptable, agile, and rapidly responsive. Winning in the future necessitates an Army that is well-led, well-trained, and well-equipped. AUSA’s ILW 2015 Global Force Symposium and Exhibition (formerly AUSA’s Winter Symposium) will focus on the Army Operating Concept and the capabilities needed for Force 2025 and beyond. An emphasis for the Symposium is how to drive innovation that delivers a Force 2025 that is leaner, smarter, flexible, and more lethal. Technology advancements, combined with enhanced leader and Soldier education and training, provide the Army the opportunity to build a force that will maintain competitive overmatch against our Nation’s potential adversaries. The constantly changing geopolitical environment within the context of resourced constrained budgets presents major challenges in developing a Force 2025 that meets the demands of an Army that is aligned with the Nation’s strategic vision and priorities. To remain the world’s decisive military institution, the Army needs to focus on restructuring military-industrial programs to ensure we continue 22 2015 AUSA Institute of Land Warfare Global Force Symposium and Exposition Tommy Battle Mayor WELCOME, GLOBAL FORCE SYMPOSIUM AND EXPOSITION As Mayor of Huntsville and on behalf of our citizens, it is an honor and pleasure to “welcome” the 2015 Global Force Symposium and Exposition sponsored by the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) March 31-April 2, 2015.
