Amphibous Operations

The role that Amphibious Operations plays is at a crossroads. The shift of geopolitical and military emphasis from the Middle East to Asia-Pacific and the search to bridge current capability gaps have pushed our armed services to re-evaluate their priorities. The Ship-to-Shore Connector (SSC) and Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) have risen to overcome these gaps, but the biggest obstacles may still be unanswered. Now is the time to find out.

In light of this ambiguity, IDGA's Amphibious Operations Summit is the opportune discussion space for you to join. Policy makers will begin by providing the dialogue that explores their grand strategy, program managers will layer on how they will contribute to that strategy’s success, and you have the chance to show how to bring it to light.
