General Gustave "Gus" Perna, Commander of the Army Materiel Command, repeatedly stresses readiness as the Army’s most fundamental priority.

Defined broadly as the ability of the U.S. armed forces to perform their required missions, whether against near-peer or asymmetric threats, “readiness” is shaped by many factors. These include the ability and well-being of military personnel and the availability and performance of military equipment. A critical aspect of the latter includes equipment/asset up time and availability.

Join us for an in-depth discussion with experts from IBM. We’ll explore how the U.S. military can ensure equipment readiness by preventing, rather than responding to, maintenance problems.
